- Dear Save Rassawek Supporter, The James River Water Authority has filed their application for an individual permit from the Army Corps of Engineers to construct their water project on top of Rassawek. The Army Corps of Engineers is seeking public comments with a deadline of May 7, 2020. Read their notice here. We are deeply concerned about the public’s ability to comment while so many of us are complying with the Governor’s stay-at-home order. We have requested that the Corps grant an extension, but so far the Corps has declined. We need your help sharing this information with your friends, including calling those who may not have reliable internet access during this time. There are several ways to help save Rassawek: (1) Please gather signatures for our public letter requesting that Governor Northam and the Army Corps move the project to an alternative that does not destroy Rassawek. They need to hear from voters that the public does not support this project. People can sign on to the letter by filling out the form here: https://bit.ly/saverassawek; (2) Please write to the Corps and tell them you do not support this project and they should choose an alternative that does not destroy Rassawek. Email your comments to steven.a.vanderploeg@usace.army.mil. We suggest that you: (a) Include your name and address; (b) State that you oppose JRWA's permit application and that it is not in the public interest; (c) State that Rassawek should be preserved as an important part of national, Virginia, and tribal history; (d) Request a public hearing on the permit application; (e) Request that the Corps prepare an environmental impact statement because of the intensity of the proposed impacts to Rassawek; (f) Send us a copy of your comments to jessica@culturalheritagepartners.com. Thank you for your time and continued attention.
