Va. Water Plan
Draws Criticism
At Rotary Meet
Eastern North Caro
lina's industrial growth
potential is being
seriously threatened by
the attempts of Tide
water Virginia to tap the
water resources of Lake
Gaston, members of the
Warrenton Rotary Club
were told Tuesday
night.
Don Everette, direc
tor of the Kerr-Tar
Regional Council of
Governments, told
Rotarians that "Warren
County is not develop
ed," and future develop
ment will be undermin
ed if the City of Virginia
Beach is allowed to con
struct an 88-mile
pipeline in order to
pump millions of gallons
of water each day from
Lake Gaston.
"Water is a natural
resource and needs to be
preserved," Everette
said. He urged
Rotarians to attend an
August 25 hearing on the
proposed withdrawal
plan, and if unable to at
tend, to write the U. S.
Army Corps of
Engineers to register
their disapproval. The
hearing will be held at
7:30 p. m. at the senior
high school in Law
renceville, Va.
"It's imperative that
we go on record showing
our overwhelming op
position," Everette
said.
He told the civic club
members that the chief
opponents of the plan,
members of the
Roanoke River Basin
Association, had not got
ten the help they de
served from the State of
North Carolina, or from
Governor Jim Hunt.
He suggested that the
fight be waged in the
political arena and
suggested that Senator
Jesse Helms could make
political hay if he would
take a strong stand
against water with
drawal at Lake Gaston.
He also suggested that
the Virginia cities
looking to Lake Gaston
should reuse waste
discharge to get pure
water, saying it would
be cheaper in the long
run. "Virginia Beach
and the Tidewater area
have not explored all
possibilities," he
charged.
Everette said that the
State of Virginia allows
135 million gallons of
raw sewage to flow into
the Chesapeake Bay
every day, and he urged
Virginians to get their
own house in order as an
alternative to tapping
Lake Gaston.
Terming the Lake
Gaston plan "a quick
fix," Everette said that
withdrawal from Lake
Gaston would have an
adverse impact on Ken
Lake and every water
reservoir along the
rivers which feed Ken
Lake.
Everette said the
problem facing Virginia
Beach with respect to
water is not a problem
for that city alone, but a
regional problem. He
said the Corps of
Engineers is a "self
serving entity" and that
most of the studies that
the Corps had made
regarding the with
drawal proposal had
been rejected.
Everette was in
troduced by Brad
Carroll, and Steve
Medlin presided over
the meeting, held at the
Warrenton Lions Den.
Following Everette'?
remarks, members of
the Warrenton Rotary
Club voted without a
dissenting voice to send
a letter of protest from
the club to Col. R. E.
Hudson, district en
gineer with the Corps of
Engineers.
