DEM Announces Revisions to Freshwater Wetlands Rules
PROVIDENCE, RI – The Department of Environmental Management (DEM) announces that it has filed revisions to the freshwater wetlands rules with the Office of the Secretary of State.
The revision process began in 2015 when state law was revised to reflect the recommendations of a legislative task force formed to assess the adequacy of state wetland protection and examine the overlap with local requirement. With adoption of DEM rules, Rhode Island moves toward having one set of wetland protection standards that will apply statewide. The Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council is expected to adopt a similar rule.

PROVIDENCE (AP) Environmental officials in Rhode Island have extended their ban on shellfish harvesting in certain areas of the state.
The state Department of Environmental Management said a ban that was set to expire Sunday will be extended until further notice. The announcement covers what it refers to as the “Lower Providence River Conditional Area E” and “Upper Bay Conditional Area A.”
The closures were enacted after recent heavy rainfall and are being extended because test samples show continued high bacteria levels in the water.
“This has been a wet July, with approximately 4.8 inches more rainfall than average, the agency said in a statement. Last weekend’s intense thunderstorm generated a large amount of stormwater runoff which followed several weeks of previous wet weather.”
