Regulatory Commission to use the lake as a water source for the town. But U.S. District Court Judge Earl Britt issued a temporary injunction, saying Virginia Beach must first gain approval of the energy panel. North Carolina had argued that letting Virginia Beach start building pipeline segments away from the lake would mean that "large expenditures of money by the city will influence FERC's decision on whether to approve VEPCO's application and the construction will cause long-term damage to wetland areas along the pipeline route." Britt earlier had ruled that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had properly approved a permit for the pipeline, which would carry up to 60 million gallons of water a day from the lake.

The state has appealed that ruling. In addition to the Corps permit, the pipeline also must get the approval of the federal energy agency, a process that Virginia Beach said could take up to two years. "Lake Gaston is a lake operated by VEPCO for the' production of hydropower," said Alan Hirsch of the state Attorney General's Office, which has opposed the pipeline. "Because it is a hydropower project, FERC must give permis sion for any uses otiier than hydropower. "Before they (FERC officials) can make a decision, they have to do a full environmental review," Hirsch said.

"The essence of this case is that they shouldn't go ahead and build the pipeline until we know that it is appropriate to build it." An attorney for Virginia Beach, John Kay said city officials were disappointed by the ruling. "The city believed that because of the urcencv of its water needs. olina officials applauded a federal judge's decision to halt construction of the Lake Gaston pipeline as a milestone in their ongoing legal battle to derail the project. "We just feel this is one of the most encouraging signs we have had since this litigation started," state Attorney General Lacy Thornburg, who has been in court for years over the project, told The News and Otserver of Raleigh. Virginia Beach, had planned to start construction Monday on some sections of the 85-mile pipeline while Virginia Power Co.
