The United States Army Corps of Engineers is conducting a feasibility study for the construction of a levee in the Eastwick section of Philadelphia, to reduce flooding risks. The proposed levee would be 1,400 feet long and would be built along the eastern bank of the Cobbs Creek.

The levee could have potential impacts on Delaware County, including:

• Increased flood water in Delaware County
• Impacts on the environment, such as disrupting wildlife habitat
