Abstract:
Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO), is building a dam on the Roanoke River which will result in the formation of a new lake. Encompassing some 23,000 acres, the new \"inland sea,\" will be 34 miles long and contain 350 miles of shoreline. Shared between Warren, Halifax, and Northampton Counties, the new lake will be bordered on the West by the Kerr Reservoir and on the East by the Roanoke Rapids Lake.
