  • Tidal Flushing and Eddy Shedding in Mount Hope Bay and Narragansett Bay: an Application of FVCOM
    Tidal Flushing and Eddy Shedding in Mount Hope Bay and Narragansett Bay: An Application of FVCOM Liuzhi Zhao, Changsheng Chen and Geoff Cowles The School for Marine Science and Technology University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth 706 South Rodney French Blvd., New Bedford, MA 02744. Corresponding author: Liuzhi Zhao, E-mail: [email protected] 1 Abstract The tidal motion in Mt. Hope Bay (MHB) and Narragansett Bay (NB) is simulated using the unstructured grid, finite-volume coastal ocean model (FVCOM). With an accurate geometric representation of irregular coastlines and islands and sufficiently high horizontal resolution in narrow channels, FVCOM provides an accurate simulation of the tidal wave in the bays and also resolves the strong tidal flushing processes in the narrow channels of MHB-NB. Eddy shedding is predicted on the lee side of these channels due to current separation during both flood and ebb tides. There is a significant interaction in the tidal flushing process between MHB-NB channel and MHB-Sakonnet River (SR) channel. As a result, the phase of water transport in the MHB-SR channel leads the MHB-NB channel by 90o. The residual flow field in the MHB and NB features multiple eddies formed around headlands, convex and concave coastline regions, islands, channel exits and river mouths. The formation of these eddies are mainly due to the current separation either at the tip of the coastlines or asymmetric tidal flushing in narrow channels or passages. Process-oriented modeling experiments show that horizontal resolution plays a critical role in resolving the asymmetric tidal flushing process through narrow passages.

  • Historic Considerations of the District
    Historic considerations of the district The City of Providence Department of Art, Culture + Tourism recognizes the deep history of this land as a cultural meeting ground between indigenous people, then European settlers, enslaved Africans and free blacks, and later immigrants who came to work on the waterfront, and today refugees and new arrivals from across the globe. The site is stained by the imaginary of the slave trade and the real history of human chattel slavery, as well as violent removal and assimilation of Indigenous lifeways and people to enrich white European settlers, and later coalitions of pro-growth capitalists. The reclaimed 195 land (made available as a result of the relocation of Interstate 195) is connected to a half-century history of pathbreaking investment in the downtown cultural economy and life, but it was a site of entrepreneurial investment and creativity long before. Looking ahead, all models of projected sea level rise demonstrate that the site will be impacted. Indigenous Lifeways and History: • Southern New England’s Pequot, Wampanoag, and Narragansett were migratory and their economies were based on agriculture and hunting, fishing and gathering. They moved with yearly cycles to established places to best exploit seasonal resources: o Indigenous people harvested fish and shellfish, trapped ducks and geese, hunted, and gathered plant foods. o They burned large areas to create meadows to attract deer for meat and to open fields for planting maize, beans, and squash. Fire-resistant trees such as oak, hickory and chestnut produced a fall nut harvest. o Their settlements were never very large, but in winter they gathered inland in sheltered valleys.

The impact of WWF is especially . pronounced during critical dry weather periods. Also , non point source inputs are . typica!ly highest during high flow periods. While nitrogen loading throughout the year has the potential to contribute to the pool of nitrogen available during critical periods, the gen ral consensus of participants in the technical advisory committee that OEM , established to assist with efforts to develop a water quality model and TMDL for the Providence and Seekonk Rivers was that the winter contribution is not si!1nificant.

    Proposal 25% Engineering/Design Services Bruce Freeman Rail Trail SUBMITTED TO Town of Sudbury SUBMITTED BY Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. OCTOBER 3, 2014 October 3, 2014 Jody Kablack Director of Planning and Community Development Town of Sudbury Flynn Building 278 Old Sudbury Road Sudbury, MA 01776 Re: 25% Engineering/Design Services for the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail Dear Ms. Kablack: The Town of Sudbury has embarked on an important step towards the completion of the 4.6 mile section of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail that runs through the center of town. The rail corridor extends from South Sudbury near Route 20 to the Sudbury/Concord Town line. To accomplish this, the Town has selected three rms to submit responses for the preparation of a 25% design plan to meet MasssDOT standards. VHB is thankful to be one of the rms selected for this important project and are delighted to have the opportunity to present our qualications, experience and vision to the Town of Sudbury. As a prequalied consultant with MassDOT, VHB is familiar with the agency’s requirements and standards, with a successful record of completing numerous MassDOT-funded multiuse path projects over the past 30 years. Our experience extends from Maine to Florida - from the Acadia Carriage roadways in Maine to the Venice Rail Trail in Sarasota County, Florida. We have worked on historic trails that respect historic places, trails that negotiate sensitive environmental resources, trails with complicated intersections, as well as trails with unique and dynamic abutter concerns. Our multiuse path experience in Massachusetts is especially strong.

Gen. Laws §§ 20- 1-2, 20-1-4, and 20-1-8, and R.I. Gen. Laws Chapters 42-17.1, 42-17.6, 42- 17.10, 20-18, 20-15, 32-2 and 32-3 and in accordance with R.I. Gen. Laws Chapter 42-35, the Administrative Procedures Act. 1.3 Administrative Findings These Rules and Regulations were initially promulgated in order to address the often confusing and sometimes conflicting situation that was created due to the fact that numerous regulations administrated by several different divisions had authority over certain aspects of the RIDEM’s Parks and Management Areas. This current amendment is an effort to make those Rules and Regulations more effective and user friendly. 1.4 Application The terms and provisions of these Rules and Regulations shall be liberally construed to permit the RIDEM to effectuate the purposes of state law, goals, and policies. 1.5 Severability If any provision of these Rules and Regulations or application thereof to any person or circumstances, is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity of the remainder of the Rules and Regulations shall not be affected thereby.
