King William Reservoir Update:
As of this date, litigation at the federal level involves a lawsuit by the Mattaponi Tribe, CBF, Alliance to Save the Mattaponi, and Sierra Club against the Army Corps of Engineers and the EPA. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) has a lawsuit filed against the State Water Control Board for illegally reversing its September 2006 denial of the water permit extension.
