The King William Reservoir is dead after 22 years. I am delighted to record that the Mattaponi River is no longer threatened by the proposed King William Reservoir. On September 22, 2009 the Newport News City Council voted unanimously to end this project. As Save the Bay magazine wrote in 2007, "The proposed KWR has had more plot twists than an episode of 24." King William Reservoir Fatal blow: In March, a U.S. District Court ruled that an Army Corps of Engineers permit was issued "arbitrarily and capriciously." The Corps subsequently suspended the permit. I love to think of what a 5' 6" Indian Chief set in motion. Thank you Little Eagle.
