  • The Blackstone Valley Mill Plate from the Massachusetts Environmental Trust
    The Blackstone Valley Mill Plate from the Massachusetts Environmental Trust The Blackstone Valley, running through the central part of the state, was the birthplace of the American industrial revolution. It was on this river in 1790 that Slater’s Mill in Pawtucket, RI began operation and would become America’s first successful textile mill. This development led to a profound change in the Massachusetts landscape as mills and cities grew around rivers that could power the industry. Offered since 1999, the Blackstone Valley Mill Plate highlights the need to restore our urban rivers and streams to enhance their ecology and improve the health of riverfront communities. Many communities have found that transitioning from industrial economies to more diverse economies can be assisted by the redevelopment of riverfronts. The legacy of our industrial history remains in many of our cities. Contamination in sediment and lingering water quality impairments can make contact with the rivers unhealthy. Outdated and unused dams make rivers impassible for fish and present hazards to people. Aging sewer infrastructure and paved surfaces add new pollutants to the waters. The Massachusetts Environmental Trust supports projects throughout Massachusetts with these license plates. Protection and restoration of rivers, estuaries, and groundwater supports the people, natural resources, and economic development of communities statewide. Recent Grants for Urban Rivers American Rivers, Greenfield: $50,000 To conduct final engineering and permitting for the removal of two dams on the Green River in Greenfield. Charles River Conservancy, $15,000 To prepare resources offering explanation of water quality and its effects on public swimming in the Charles River and other urban rivers.

    100. COASTAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT GOALS FOR PROVIDENCE HARBOR 110. PROVIDENCE HARBOR: A SPECIAL AREA OF CONCERN TO RHODE ISLAND Providence Harbor is the state's largest urban waterfront, reaching from Sabin Point and the Pawtuxet River northward to the falls at the head of the Seekonk River (Figure 1). It is located in the heart of the Providence metropolitan area, at the confluence of the major rivers and streams which drain a 1500 square kilometer basin inhabited by nearly one million people. The Seekonk and Providence Rivers, which are completely tidal, deliver both freshwater and pollutants associated with human activity and natural processes in the drainage basin directly to Upper Narragansett Bay, which is part of one of the most important estuaries in the United States. Industrialization and urban development have caused significant changes to Providence Harbor as an ecosystem, and as a place for Rhode Islanders to live and work. Providence Harbor is presently in transition as a place of importance to our economy and quality of life. Many problems persist as a consequence of the gradual weakening of the strength and vitality of the Providence metropolitan area, while new opportunities are appearing as public ownership of shorefront land has increase and a massive effort to control water pollution begins. The Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) is the state's primary agency for planning and management in the coastal zone. The Coastal Resources Management Program Document, a set of findings and policies adopted in 1977, outlines the CRMC's role in finding solutions to port and urban waterfront problems.
