摘要：	A new statistical port district that could become the largest inland port in the United States by freight tonnage has received preliminary approval but awaits a final review.The Mid-Ohio Valley Port District is planned to encompass nearly 220 miles of the Ohio River between Mile 40.0 and Mile 256.8, filling in a gap be-tween the Huntington Tri-State Port District and the Pittsburgh Port Dis-trict. It encompasses parts of seven counties in Ohio and nine counties in West Virginia.The port district has been preliminari-ly approved by the Institute for Water Re-sources. The institute is the Corps of En-gineers' center of expertise for hydraulic and hydrologic modeling, dam and levee safety, integrated water resources man-agement, collaborative planning and en-vironmental conflict resolution and the collection, management and dissemina-tion of Civil Works and navigation infor-mation, including the nation's waterborne commerce data.The preliminary approval allowed the port to be added to the Corps' Wa-terborne Commerce Statistical Center Database as of February. That ensures accurate collecting and reporting of wa-terborne commerce data along the speci-fied corridor of the Ohio River.
