Surrounding areas offer good opportunities for recreation and are noted for abundant fish and wildlife. The Charleston area is one of the best places to live in the nation. The metropolitan area is comprised of Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties, and stretches some 50 miles inland, with 90 miles of oceanfront.

Currently, the Charleston District is in the process of conducting a feasibility study for deepening Charleston Harbor, known as the Post 45 project. The district will determine if it is both economically beneficial and environmentally acceptable to the nation to deepen the harbor in preparation of the new Post-Panamax ships being built around the world. The Charleston District operates the St. Stephen Powerhouse, producing 84 megawatts of power - enough to supply the energy needs for 30,000 homes. As part of this project, the Charleston District designed and constructed the state of South Carolina's only fish lift, which provides safe passage for fish migrating upstream to spawn. The Charleston District also provides a variety of services through regulatory permits, civil works, military construction and international and interagency support. Beyond these duties, the Charleston District stands ready to respond to natural disasters and deploys several employees each year in support of Overseas Contingency Operations in Afghanistan.
