Feds back Lake Gaston water draw for Virginia Beach
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issues a draft environmental impact statement for Virginia Electric and Power Company to divert 60 million gallons daily from Lake Gaston to Virginia Beach. North Carolina opposes. The draft says the diversion provides potable water with minimal environmental impact and would not significantly affect Roanoke River or Albemarle Sound flows or water quality, leading to no measurable effect on fish.
