The Hungry Canyons Alliance works to research and implement solutions to the problems associated with stream channel erosion as related to Loess soils.   These funds will protect approximately $5.1 million worth of property and 1.3 million tons of sediment from stream erosion by building streambed stabilization structures. The funds secured by Congressman King will provide continuing support for the Project. “Western Iowa is graced with unique, windblown loess soils that were deposited at the end of the last Ice Age. As marshes were drained and developed into farmland, many streams were straightened with steeper stream grades. This $858,000 will go a long way in working toward preventing stream channel erosion,” King said. After the House passage yesterday, the bill must now be signed into law by the President.   In The News Thursday, August 26, 2010 King: Vilsack makes false claims to push amnesty Congressman King, Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Immigration, challenges Agriculture Secretary’s Remarks on Amnesty full story>> Monday, August 23, 2010 King Urges Iowa Medical Board to Halt Congressman King: “The dispensation of RU-486 via telemedicine violates Iowa law and FDA protocols.” full story>> Make a Contribution Support Congressman Steve King Contribute Now>>
