The traditional approach to conducting a raw water supply study--identifying a favored project on the basis of technical and economic feasibility--has given way to regulatory agency demands for environmental preservation and often emotional responses from host jurisdictions who fear losing their rights to valuable resources without equitable considerations. This paper walks the reader through various stages of water resource development, beginning with meeting federal requirements for environmental protection and anticipating host jurisdiction concerns. The bulk of the paper focuses on the planning concepts used by the Virginia Peninsula Raw Water Study Group for seeking local support for several potential reservoir projects outside of the region's service area. The author discusses project development and steps to take to gain host jurisdiction support (needs/benefit analysis, informal contract, and memorandum of understanding). A detailed discussion of the project development agreement, including property acquisition and ownership, recreational use, reservation of supply for local needs, compensation logic, and other provisions, is offered. The author lists several important principles that the City of Newport News and Virginia Peninsula Raw Water Study Group use for gaining the support of host jurisdictions.
