Mayne calls Perry Creek flood plan overkill in Sioux City
Sixth district Congressman Wiley Mayne told the Daily Sentinel that support for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plan to build four Perry Creek dams for flood protection in southern Plymouth County is fading. He said Sioux City’s city council backs a less drastic, cheaper approach and noted the plan would displace 50 to 100 families while stressing downstream rights. He urged a balanced solution that protects all citizens' rights and reduces costs.
