April 25, 1985
The County also pursued a 404 permit from the Army Corps. of
Engineers. The 401 permit was obtained from the State Water
Control Board which allowed the County certain restrictions that
the County could withdraw water from the Roanoke River. Mr.
Hubbard has now received a letter from the Army Corps. of
Engineers that indicates that the State of Virginia does not have
the right to specify withdrawal, only the Army Corps. of
Engineers has the jurisdiction on withdrawal rates. The Corps.
has a much lower withdrawal rate. The new restrictions will
limit the use of the proposed site for water supply and cut the
water withdrawal from 30 million to below 10 million. Mr.
Hubbard reported that he needs to pursue the letter he received
today from the Norfolk District Corps. of Engineers and suggested
that the County discuss this with the Corps. of Engineers in
Wilmington. Donald R. Flanders, County Administrator, reported
I
that he has tried to get in touch with Trible and Warner and Olin
today and he will try to contact them in the morning and set up a
meeting in Richmond. He reported that he will contact the State
I
Water Control Board and representatives of the Army Corps. so
they can also attend.

questions that the County has submitted and the answers the
County has received and the lack of understanding of one branch

Department of the Interior should be reported and submitted to a
Congressional representation and to members of the Department of
the Office of Budget and Management to send it to President
Reagan and liaisons of local government to receive their
reactions. The motion carried by the following recorded vote:
