The Army Corps of Engineers rejected a permit for the Southeastern Water Authority of Virginia to withdraw 40 million gallons daily from Lake Gaston. Local and regional groups opposed the plan, urging alternatives such as the James or Chowan rivers or other sources, with potential future desalting advances offering nearer coastal supply by 1980.
