Water Is Rising In Gaston Reservoir Waters in the Gaston reser voir are rising and the lake is already forming following the closing of the sluce gates of the Gaston Dam on Sunday morning at 8 o'clock. Heavy discharge of waters from the John Kerr Reservoir the first of the week had al ready caused a sizeable lake to form near the dam by Tues day and by 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon water had crossed the road leading to the Eaton Ferry site. Thursday morning at noon the water had stretch ed for hundreds of yards be neath the new Roanoke Ferry Bridge and was estimated to be some two feet deep. When the reservoir is full the lake at this point will be 35 to 40 feet deep. Hundreds of people motored to the new bridge on Sunday afternoon to see if they could detect any rise In the river, but little effect of the closing of the dam sluce gates was apparent at that time. Since theh scores of other people have journeyed to the reser voir sides to see the progress of the forming of the lake. A familiar site Is the "Stop, Road Closed Signs" around the re servoir. In cooperation with the Gat ton Lake authorities in filling the reservoir, Kerr Lake au thorities have sent enough water down stream to lower the already low Kerr reser voir by three feet, it is report ed. As soon as the water be gins to flow over the spillway of the dam and before it reaches its maximum height, the Kerr Dam will resume nor mal releases. Because of this it is expected that it will take from one to two pranths to till the Gaston reservoir,, depend ing on rainfall in the Virginia mountains, which feed the Kerr About two days prior to the closing of the sluce gates in the Gaston dam, discharges f from Kerr Lake were regulat ed to effect raising the Roan oke lake to Its maximum reg ulation. Whe* this had been accomplished, discharges from Dam were terminated to the closing of the gates at the head of the sluces in the spillway section ot the Gaston Dam. This was neces sary to permit lowering of the water level at the Gaston Dam in order that the sluce open ings could be cleared of sand and debris and the gates tight ly closed. Immediately following dam closure, release was begun from Kerr Dam at a rate which raised the level of the Gaston reservoir to about elevation 174 iii a period of three days. This provided sufficient head over the spillway crest, which is elevation 165, to permit con trolling discharges to the Roan oke Rapids Lake. Vepco officials say that from this point in filling to the completion, the reservoir will probably fill less rapidly. If river flows are averas*?\ the complete filling process will take 35 to 40 days; if river flows are adverse, the process will take approximately 75 days. The process of first filling the Roanoke Rapids Lake was necessary in order to keep the flow of the river below the Roanoke Rapids dam at a safe level.
