  • 4. Hydraulic Data on Saugatucket River
    RHODn E TISLAND DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 235 Promenade Street, Providence, RI 02908-5767 TDD 40 1-83 1-5508 February 24,1999 Stephen A. Alfred, Town Manager ;7 Town of South Kingstown i 180 High Street " ­ ­ -. ' Wakefield, Rhode Island 02880 ~~ --­ -—.___ J Dear Mr. Alfred: The Department of Environmental Management recently received a draft report summarizing water quality investigations in the Saugatucket River conducted by Dr. Raymond Wright of the University of Rhode Island's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. A copy of Dr. Wright's report is attached for your information. The document is presently in draft form and is being reviewed by DEM's Office of Water Resources staff. Dr. Wright's work was conducted to assess impairments of water quality along the river and its tributaries and to allow estimates of impacts on Point Judith Pond. Three water bodies in the Saugatucket watershed are included on the State's current list of impaired waters (also known as the 303(d) list): Mitchell Brook, Saugatucket River, and Saugatucket Pond. These water bodies, as you know, respectively flow through, form the eastern border, and are immediately downstream of the former landfill site. It is our concern that each of these three water body impairments is attributable to influences from the landfill. Chapter 10 of Dr. Wright's study associates the site with a significant increase in ammonia concentrations in the main stem of the Saugatucket River. The federal Clean Water Act requires that the cause and source of water quality impairment and actions to restore water quality be identified, in an analysis known as a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), for all water bodies listed on the state's 303(d) list.

    . portion ofthe River and validated water' quality models. Use of the models enables one . to evaluate the fate and transport of all sources to the river. Tl)e primary mechanism for nitrogen attenuation in the BlackstoneR.iver is alga uptake . and.retenti n of the algae in the water cQlumn or sediment. In 1997 MA, USEPAand . OEM completedaWLA fOfammonia and phosphorus to address excessive algae growth.and dissolved oxygen conditions hi the Blackstone River (USEPA et aI1997). The tesponse to comments sUbmitted by MADEP alsO', explains how the water quality models Were usedto. evaluate the reduction in attenuation associated with .thecontrolof algae levels. It was determined that between 71 and 77% of the individual MA VlFs nitrogen loading .is delivered to the mouth of the River (72% for UBWPAD) and 86% of the W90n ocketWWF when the required WL is met: Ofthe load predicted at the mouth of the River, WWFs represent 98%: UBWPAo..and Woonsocket represent 83 % of the load delivered (64 %ahd19%, respectively). This confirms the expectation that attenuation will. be redu ced asVWo.Fs meet current permit requirements, demonstrates that attenuation wil be minimal and underscores the point that further study of attenu tionfactoi"s priorto implementation of nitrogen controls is not appropriate. OEM has also acknowledged that researchers agree that WWFs represent the majority of the annual nitrogen loading to NarragansettBay. 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.

  • Rhode Island's Shellfish Heritage
    RHODE ISLAND’S SHELLFISH HERITAGE RHODE ISLAND’S SHELLFISH HERITAGE An Ecological History The shellfish in Narragansett Bay and Rhode Island’s salt ponds have pro- vided humans with sustenance for over 2,000 years. Over time, shellfi sh have gained cultural significance, with their harvest becoming a family tradition and their shells ofered as tokens of appreciation and represent- ed as works of art. This book delves into the history of Rhode Island’s iconic oysters, qua- hogs, and all the well-known and lesser-known species in between. It of ers the perspectives of those who catch, grow, and sell shellfi sh, as well as of those who produce wampum, sculpture, and books with shell- fi sh"—"particularly quahogs"—"as their medium or inspiration. Rhode Island’s Shellfish Heritage: An Ecological History, written by Sarah Schumann (herself a razor clam harvester), grew out of the 2014 R.I. Shell- fi sh Management Plan, which was the first such plan created for the state under the auspices of the R.I. Department of Environmental Management and the R.I. Coastal Resources Management Council. Special thanks go to members of the Shellfi sh Management Plan team who contributed to the development of this book: David Beutel of the Coastal Resources Manage- Wampum necklace by Allen Hazard ment Council, Dale Leavitt of Roger Williams University, and Jef Mercer PHOTO BY ACACIA JOHNSON of the Department of Environmental Management.

Our unique contribution is to strengthen local watershed councils as partners in rivers and watershed protection. Created by statute (RIGL 46-28) in 1991 as an associated function of the Rhode Island Water Resources Board, the RIRC mission is to preserve and improve the quality of Rhode Island's rivers and their watersheds and to work with public entities to develop plans to safely increase river use. Under the Rhode Island Rivers Council statute, rivers are defined as "a flowing body of water or estuary, including streams, creeks, brooks, ponds, coastal ponds, small lakes, and reservoirs." WHAT WE DO The RIRC plays a key role in the state's comprehensive environmental efforts.
