 World Rivers Review, December 1996
The drainage area of Chitose river is low-lying, especially between Chitose city and Ebetsu, situated at the confluence with the Ishikari.
During floods, the Chitose cannot flow easily to join the main stream of the Ishikari, because the water level of the Ishikari becomes as high as that of the Chitose.
Furthermore, because most of the Chitose's alluvial lowland is topographically lower than the water level of the Chitose during the flood, the area suffers inundation, caused by the rain water which cannot drain to the river.

Apparently, old Chitose is now being used by the Japanese military, which is a major presence on Hokkaido.
An illustration here of why it's important to fly with current charts: the ONC for Japan has not been revised since November 1988, which is why the Russian islands north of Hokkaido are marked as belonging to the now non-existent Soviet Union.
New Chitose opened in 1988, so I'm not sure why both airports aren't marked on the chart, but that's the way it is.
