Lompoc Project Put On Hold By Federal Officials
U S Interior Department officials say no further active consideration of the Lompoc Project should occur until after the Diablo Canyon Project is reviewed by the state legislature and Congress. R J Pafford Jr cited rising costs and interest rates for the dam and reservoir at The Narrows as reasons to await action on desalting. If desalting fails, the Lompoc option could still be reevaluated as an alternative water source for Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.
