The James River Water Authority this week will start the process of evaluating an alternative site for a water intake station that had been planned for Point of Fork, the location of Rassawek, the historic capitol of the Monacan Nation.
An archaeological resources survey will soon begin at the site in Fluvanna County.
The James River Water Authority will be sending letters over the next week to property owners near the James River to seek permission to dig on their land as part of the survey.
Last fall, authority board members voted to allow a consultant to move forward with the archaeological survey of a potential alternative site for the controversial project.
