'"Had we done the environmental

have been made long ago," Hirsch

Robert Goodale, the deputy state
sei:retary of commerce, said that
Virginia Beach's problems will only
worsen if it looks to others to bear
itsj burden.
:'A* proposal to draw water 80
41s, is not a cure for the problem
bud a treatment for the symptom,"
Goodale said. "Their lack of plan-
ning.is not going to be resolved by
indeasing their growth."
Roger Rulifson, a biology profes-
I.that at East Carolina University,
Virginia Beach will be
drawing off approximately 10 per-
ceipt;of the available flow that is
nam.ally in the river - and up to
3 percent of the flow during dry
spells.
:;The burden is on you to draw
scientist conclusions about the im-

sions)," Rulifson told the panel.
The FERC has two other public
meetings set for comments next

Beach.

siort:wiIl decide shortly after that
