It culminates a joint three year planning effort by the Statewide Planning Program and the Department of Natural Resources to produce a long-range set of guide- lines and provide a framework for specific action programs to improve the recreational development of the state. it also establishes a philosophical and statistical basis for outdoor recreation progranning at all levels of government as well as the private sector. Since the publication of the Plan for Recreation, Conser- vation and Open Spate in January of 1971, a supplementary report and several special studies have been published as a means of updating and modifying the basic plan. This present plan utilizes many of the salient aspects of th ,ese previous studies and incorporates them into the general framework of the plan's guidelines. These recreational guidelines, as embodied by this document, are an elenent of the-state's overall guide plan. The body of this report has six distinct but inter- related parts. Part 151-01 contains a statement of the broad. scope of the document as it reflects the interests of the state in providing outdoor recreational opportunities for its citizens. The legal authority for participation in the Land and Water Conservation Fund is cited along with the various legal requirements for the plan as an on-going and coordinated planning function. Part 151-02 sets forth the commitment of the state to pre- serve the environment while providing for its proper utilization. It presents a general summary of the goals, policies, and recommendations that will serve as a guide for programs in outdoor recreation, conservation and open space. Part 151-03 presents background information on the state's physical and socio-economic characteristics in order to provide an overall impression of the state. Part 151-04 consists of an inventory of existing outdoor recreation facilities and open space areas arranged by jurisdiction and town, as well as a discussion of agen- cies involved in recreation andspecial interest areas. Part 151-05 identifies the anticipated demand for various recreation activities by utilizing three types of survey data. Parts 151-06 to 08 are unassigned and have been reserved for future additions and amendments. Part 151-09 contains the state's. five year implementation scheme as well as a long-range recreation program. Sup plementary material is presented in the Appendix.

Symanski, Supervisor, Research Ivi PREFACE On September 3, 1964, the Landand Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (P.L. 88-578, 78 Stat. 897) became law. Section S of this Act provides for financial assistance to states to: 1) prepare or update a statewide'outdoor recreation plan; 2) acquire lands and waters or interests in lands and waters for public outdoor recreation purposes; and 3) develop lands and waters to facilitate their use by the public for outdoor recreation. This financial assistance is available for.- but is not limited to, architectural planning, site planning, site preparation, and site development. The Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965 (P.L. 89-117, 79.. Stat. 451, 495) amended Title VIT of the Housing Act of 1961 so as to provide grants to be used for the development of land for open space uses in addition to the acquisition of open space land which is located in and serves an urbanized area. This open space*land program has now been replaced by a consolidated program included in Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-383), administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Devel- opment. The act replaces many-previous federal programs. The stated objectives of the act are "the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and ex- panding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income." It specifically addresses the following eligible recreation-oriented activities: (1) acquisition of real property for the preservation or restoration of historic sites, the beautification of urban land, conservation of open space, natural resources, and scenic areas, and the provision of recreational opportunities; and (2) acquisition, construction, reconstruction, or installation of parks and playgrounds and other facilities'for recreational partici- pation. These two acts represent the primary federal programs available for funding recreational programs at the state and local levels. This funding is contingent upon the preparation of a comprehensive outdoor recreation plan to serve as a framework for orderly develop- ment. The purpose of this plan is to establish that framework for com- prehensive recreation planning inthe state. It furnishes facts, ana- lyses, and recommendations that will guide the state and its local governments and the private sector in their efforts to provide ade- quate recreation, conservation, and open space opportunities for all citizens. Participation This document represents a dramatic departure from previous efforts in this field due to the inclusion of meaningful input from most of the local communities as mandated by a contract executed by vii the Department of Natural Resources and the Bureau of Outdoor Recrea- tion., U.S. Department of the Interior...The terms of the contract call for use of.recreation information in areas of concern to both the state and local governments in preparing the state's recreation plan. The plan also makes use of demand data collected through surveys conducted in 1974 and 1975. Since these data were not fully analyzed at,the time of plan preparation, future amendments may be necessary to incorporate subsequent findings which emerge from the survey material. ion Report@Organizati This document has been organized to assure flexibility of scope while maintaining the integrity of the sections of the plan. Mainte- nance of the document itself can best be accomplished through the use of a loose leaf binder. All amendments or changes to the document will be tr ansmitted with a dated cover letter to insure that the user has the -most current edition. The plan utilizes sectional pagination to facilitate.updating and modification as required without disrupting the general continuity of the document as a whole. It is divided into Parts, Chapters, Sec- tions,.and Sub-sections. Each has a number or letter designation. Part and Chapter designations appear in the upper right corner of each page: the first two digits indicate the Part and numbers imme- diately to the right of the hyphen indicate the chapter; numbers fol- lowing the decimal indicate the pages within each chapter, thus: 01. Part -01 Chapter .1 Page Within the chapters of the plan, narrative is further broken down nu- merically into sections indicated by repeating the part and chapter number followed by a hyphen and the section number. Sub-sections are indicated by the use of upper case letters only. It is believed that this arrangement lends itself most easily to periodic updating and addi- tions with-the least amount of confusion. It is envisioned that this 'initial plan using this format will serve as the skeletal framework allowing for continuous modifications, but in essence will be a per- manent document. This report numbering system will also be used for future ele- ments*of the State Guide Plan, thus presenting an orderly arrangement viii of the total planning effort in Rhode Island and forming an excellent basis for efficient, comprehensive updating. The elements of the State Guide Plan will be identified within major categories as fol- lows: 100 Resources management and utilization 200 Economic development 300 Environmental programs -400 Human services- Soo (Reserved) 600 Transportation systems 700 Utility systems 800 (Reserved) 900 (Reserved) The recreation, conservation and open space element falls within the first major category (100) of the State Guide Plan. This document will also incorporate a new scheme for designating footnotes in an effort to relieve some of the congestion usually common t-o documents of this type. All footnotes are referenced to the Bibliography. Bibliographical entries are numbered to facilitate these references. Direct quotations in the text are designated within double parentheses by listing the assigned Bibliography number followed by a colon and the page or section of the source, thus: ((9:22)). Narrative that relies on significant portions of one or more references but is not directly quoted, will.be designated at the appropriate sec- tion heading thus: ((9, 12)), with both numbers identifying the ref- erence documents. This plan was prepared by Mr. John J. Deary, Senior Planner, and Mr. Robert J. DeSista, Planning Technician, both of the Statewide Planning Program staff, and Mr. Ralph Piccirilli, Senior Planner for the Department of Natural Resources. They worked under the overall supervision of Mr. Patrick J. 'Fingliss, Supervising Planner, of the .-Program staff. Major additional assistance was provided by the fol- Jowing: Statewide Pla nning Program: Daniel W. Varin, Chief Frank P. Geremia, Assistant Chief Jerome Lessuck, Assistant Chief (Resigned in 1974) Bradford E. Southworth, Supervising Planner (Resigned in 1974) James A. Andrade, Computer Programmer William B.

The principal areas of concern 'to which the plan is directed are set forth and the legal status of the plan is described. It also describes the manner-in which the plan will be maintained and used as a guide for recreation, conservation and open space programs and.activities. 01-01 Objectives and Scope of the Plan The basic objectives of this report are to: a) update Report Number 14, The Plan for Recreation, Conser- vation and Open Space; b) maintain the state's eligibility in the Land and Water Conservation Fund administered by the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation of the Department of the Interior, Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and all other related federal programs; c) update the inventory of public and private outdoor recreation facilities, areas and opportunities; d) assess the present demand for outdoor recreation in,Rhode Island, and project this to the year 2000; e) re-assess the relationship of outdoor recreation, conservation, and open space to the resources, eco- nomy, and people of the state; f) continue to make the public and private sectors aware of the need for an 'expanded program to meet outdoor recreation needs; g) continue to develop an orderly program for action to meet outdoor recreation, conservation, and open space needs; h) indicate the means by which the goals for outdoor recreation, conservation, and open space may be met; and i) emphasize the importance of preserving and enhancing the natural beauty and other scenic and aesthetic values ofthe state's outdoor environment and landscape. Outdoor recreation planning is an integral component of the statewide comprehensive planning process and as an element of the Rhode Island State Guide Plan, is closely coordinated with the other functional elements. 01-01.2 The outline of the plan generally follows the guidelines rec- ommended by the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation (BOR) in their manual (Part 630). These are reproduced here in order to set forth the general objectives and policy criteria as established by BOR. "The scope and content of a state outdoor recreation plan will be,influenced in large part by unique conditions within each state, making it essential to seek those solutions'which best fit the state's individual needs. However, to the maximum extent possible, the State Outdoor Recreation Plan is:, a) Comprehensive--encompassing all outdoor recreation activities, resources, and programs that are significant in providing outdoor opportunities within the state; recreation needs of all segments of the population (in- cluding special segments) and measures to preserve and enhance the quality of the outdoor recreation environment in both natural and manmade settings; @b) General--focusing on significant needs, trends, problems, and policies; c) Long-Range--looking into the future; reflecting creative foresight rather than relying solely on the projection. of existing trends; d) Action-oriented--geared to the requirements of the de- cision-making process; containing a 5 year implementation program including, in addition to actions that the state proposes to undertake directly, recommended actions of the federal government, local governments, and the pri- vate sector." ((53:630.1.1)) The manual goes on to say that "a state outdoor recreation -plan should not be viewed as a static document,but rather the re- cord of findings and decisions resulting from an ongoing planning process. The plan should be flexible and designed to be modified in response to changing development patterns, socio-economic condi- tions, and other factors which influence the demand for, and the pro- vision of recreation opportunities." ((53:630.1.2c)) The organiza- tion of this document reflects this intention to constantly modify and update appropriate portions of the plan in light of changing needs. 01-02.1 01-02- Citation of LeRal Authority for Participation in the Land and Water Conservation Fund The authority for the state to participate in the grant pro- grams established by the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act is vested in the Director of the Department of.Administration by Title 32, Chapter 4 of the General Laws (see Appendix). This authority has been delegated to the Director of the Department of Natural Re- sources by the Governor (see Appendix). 01-03.1 01-03 Responsible State ARencies 01-03-01 Background of Recreational Planning in Rhode Island The earliest planning agency in Rhode Island, of which records can be found, was the Public Park Association, organized in 1883. In,1900, the Association had formulated sketch plans for a metropo- litan park system. These plans called for the creation of a Metro- politan Park Commission and were enthusiastically received by many organizations and the state's citizens.. The Commission was formally established by the General Assembly in 1904. The passage of bond issues of $250,000 in 1906 and $300,000 in 1912 enabled the Commission to make a start in acquisition of land and its development for recreational use. By 1933, the juris- dictional area of the Commission had been increased to include the entire state, and 34 reservations had been acquired containing a total: area of 4,320 acres. .From these humble beginnings, an ever-increasing awareness of the importance of planning has led to the development of planning- oriented agencies at all levels of government. The availability of federal monies during the 1950's for local level planning provided the catalyst for the present system of community planning staffs. The larger municipalities maintain staffed planning agencies, while technical planning assistance has been provided to other communities through the facilities of state planning agencies. Throughout this development, recreation has remained an important element in the over- all planning effort. Because of the need to ensure that there is no duplication of effort at the state and local level, establish a general framework within which the needs of all citizens can be met by either state or local level facilities, and provide for orderly development by establishing priorities to meet regional needs as well as the basic everyday recreation needs required at the community -and neighborhood level, a coordinating mechanism is necessary. This mechanism, a comprehensive outdoor recreation plan, was mandated by the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965. In the ten years since the passage of the Land and Water Conser- vation Fund Act, the recreation guide plans developed for Rhode Is- land have.presented a multitude of recommendations for action. Many of these objectives, including a 'cquisition, development, planning and administrative actions, have been accomplished. Some recommen- dations have fallen by the wayside due to financial or political realities, as well as changes in recreational priorities. A listing of some of the major accomplishments resulting from proposals in pre- vious,recreation guide plans will serve to assess the impact of recreation planning in Rhode Island. 01-03.2 The acquisition of Colt Park in Bristol, Snake Den Park in Johnston, Brenton Point in Newport, and Cocumscussoc in North Kings- town were major recommendations of the 1965 Recreation Guide Plan. All of these were accomplished during the subsequent five years under the Green Acres Program. The full development of Colt Park, Fort Adams in Newport, and Fishermen's Memorial State Park in Narragan- sett has also been addressed according to guidelines established in both the 196S and 1971 Recreation Guide Plans. The acquisition and development of Fort Wetherill in Jamestown and Second Beach in-Mid- dletown were also specifically recommended in State Recreation Guide Plans andaccomplished. Many smaller developments listed in the 1971 Recreation Guide Plan-have been completed within the proposed time frame. These in- clude an enforcement facility at Goddard Park, sanitary facilities at Haines Park, bicycle trails in Colt Park, game courts at Fisher- men's Memorial, and the development of master plans for Snake Den and Brenton Point State Parks. The inventory and identification of public rights-of-way was a major recommendation of the 1971 Rec- reation Guide Plan and an excellent start has been made towards pre- serving these access points along the shore, with preliminary work having been completed on access areas for significant fresh water bodies. The proposal for expanded user fees at selected state owned recreation areas has been an integral part of both the 1965 and 1971 documents. This has been accomplished to some extent by the institution of fees at state owned salt water beaches. A notable accomplishment is the-expanded planning and research activity present at the Department of Natural Resources. This was a concern of both the 196S and 1971 Guide Plans. The division of Plan- ning and Development has hired staff, conducted studies, and has developed a data base for effective recreation planning. This in- @reased research is evidenced in this document and should have an increasingly greater effect as the data become more refined. Rhode Island cannot point to a perfect record in the area of accomplished recommendations. However, the above partial listing indicates that the Recreation Guide Plans have had a significant effect on the recreation policies and actions of state and local recreation agencies. Two state agencies have the responsibility for the preparation and maintenance of Rhode Island's outdoor recreation, conservation, and open space plan. These are the Statewide Planning Program and the Department of Natural Resources. 01-03- 02 Statewide Planning Program The Statewide Planning Program was originally created by an inter-agency agreement between the Rhode Island Development Council and the Rhode'Island Department of Public Works on May 27, 1964. 01-03.3 This agreement is reproduced in the App'endix. However, the respon- sibilities outlined in this agreement for comprehensive planning were transferred twice within the next two years. The first trans- fer occurred during the 1968 session of the General Assembly. This session transferred the state planning responsibilities covered by the inter-agency agreement from.the Development Council to the De- partment of Community Affairs. The section.that effectuated this states: . . . The transfer hereby effected shall not be construed to amend or in any way to affect or modify the terms of a memorandum of agreement between the Rhode Island development council and the Rhode Island department of public works entitled "Inter agency agreement," dated May 27, 1964, by which the Rhode Island statewide comprehensive transportation and land use planning program was established, or any other contract or agreement heretofore made by said council or its executive director in connection with or relating to the planning functions, powers and duties herein transferred. Wherever in the general laws or in any public law the words "executive director of the Rhode Island development council" shall appear in relation to planning functions, powers and duties, the same shall be deemed to mean and include the director of the department of community affairs or the department, as the case may.be ((5:42-44)) The second transfer occurred during the 1970 session of the General Assembly. An Act which was signed into law by the Governor on.April 30, 1970 transferred the Statewide Planning Program to the Department of Administration. This Act is reproduced in the Appen- dix. Executive Order Number 10, June 22, 1970, reproduced in the Appendix, supplements this legislation by clarifying the duties of. the Statewide Planning Program and by creating a State Planning Council to guide the Program's work. The order designates the Statewide Planning Program as the principal staff agency of the executive branch of state government. The Council membership was modified by Executive Order Number 23, February 7, 1975. ,The Program is charged with the preparation and maintenance of plans for the physical, economic, and social development of the state, with providing planning services to the Governor, General As- sembly, and operating agencies of state government, and with coordi- nating the actions of state, local, federal and private organizations, within the framework of the state's development goals. The.major work of the Program is in the preparation and maintenance of the 01-03.4 State Guide Plan. This plan is comprised of a series of functional plans or elements dealing with land use, water and sewer services, transportation, recreation, conservation and open space, historic preservation, and other areas'that address the development goals and policies of state government. 01-03-03 Department of Natural Resources In 1964, a Governor's Task Force on Natural Resources was appointed to ascertain the extent and adequacy of the open space and outdoor recreation program in Rhode Island. The Task Force was directed by Executive Order to make recommendations for a long- range program for open space use and conservation. One of the major recommendations of the Task Force was the creation of a new state department of Natural Resources. Legisla- tion to establish this new department was introduced in the 1965 Session of the General Assembly and was subsequently passed on May 19, 1965. The powers and duties of this department are as follows: (a) to supervise and control the.protection, development, planning, and utilization of the natural resources of the state, such resources including (but not limited to) water, plants, trees, soil, clay, sand, gravel, rocks and other minerals, air, mammals, birds, rep- tiles, amphibians, fish,.shellfish, and other forms of aquatic, insect, and animal life; (b) to exercise all functions, powers, and duties here- tofore vested in the department of agriculture and conservation, and in each of the divisions of said department, by chapter 42-17 of the general laws, as amended, entitled 'Department of Agriculture and Conservation-', by such of the following chapters and sections thereof as are presently applicable to said department of agriculture and conservation or to any of its divisions: chapters 2-1 through 2-20, inclusive of said general laws, as amended, in title 2 of said general laws,.entitled 'Agricul- ture and forestry'; Chapters 4-1 through 4-17, in- clusive, of said general laws entitled 'Animals andanimal husbandry'; chapters 20-1 through 20-35, inclusive, of said general laws, as amended, in title 20 of said general laws, entitled 'Fish and game'; chapters 21-1 through 21-32, inclusive, of said general laws, as amended in title 21 of said general laws, entitled 'Food and drugs'; chapter 23-7 of said general laws, as amended, entitled 01-03.5 -chapter 23-41 of said general 'Mosquito control'; by laws, as amended, entitled 'Hazardous pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and roden- ticides'; and by any other general or public law relating to the department of agriculture and con servation or to any of its divisions or bureaus; (c) to exercise all the functions, powers., and duties heretofore vested in the division of parks and recreation of the department of public works by chapters 32-1 and 32-2 of the general laws, as amended in title 32 of said general laws, entitled 'Parks and recreation areas'; by chapter 23 of title 23 of the general laws, as amended, entitled 'Drow- ning prevention and lifesaving'; and by any other general or public law relating to said division of parks and recreation; (d) To exercise all the functions, powers, and duties heretofore vested in the division of harbors and rivers of the department of public works, or in said department itself by such as are presently applicable to said division or said department, of chapters 46-1 through 46-22 and sections there- of of the general laws, as amended, in title 46 of said general laws, entitled 'Waters and navi- gation'; and by any other general or public law relating to said division of harbors and rivers; (e) to cooperate with the department of health in the enforcement of laws relating to water pollution, particularly where such pollution may adversely affect fish, shellfish, water fowl, birds, animals, swimming, boating, and recreation; (f) to cooperate with the Rhode Island development council in its planning and promotional functions particularly in regard to those resources rela- ting to agriculture, fisheries, and recreation; (g) to cooperate with, advise, and guide conservation commissions of cities and towns created under chapter 35 of the general laws, entitled 'Conser- vation commissions', as enacted by chapter 203 of the public laws of 1960. 01-04.1 01-04 Certification as Official State'Plan for Recreation, Conservation and Open Space This plan conforms fully with all other elements of the State Guide Plan, and with implementing plans and programs based on the guide plan. This report was prepared jointly by the Statewide Plan- ning Program and the Department of Natural Resources to assure this conformity. This cooperative approach by the responsible development and operating agency and the comprehensive planning agency is followed in preparing all major elements of.the state's plan for future devel-. opment. Through this process, the state insures that all aspects of the State Guide Plan and various functional plans are fully coordi- nated. This procedure is followed for all guide plan components., This plan will be adopted as an element of the State Guide Plan by the State Planning Council following a public hearing. 01-05.1 01-05 Maintenance of the Plan The maintenance of this plan will require the assignment of time-frame priorities to areas requiring further study. These areas of concern will@serve as supplemental portions of the conti- nuing plan document, refining its objectives and exploring problems and opportunities that warrant attention. The generation of recrea- tion work programs is a direct function of plan maintenance. Certain segments of the basic document will require updating .or modification on a structured schedule while others should be ad- dressed only as dictated by significant changes in the variables affecting the data, objectives, or scope as they relate to state development goals and policies. Updating of the data contained in the document should be held to a minimum, since it is.the most in- volved task requiring large commitments of staff time. It is there- fore envisioned that a selective process can be used which would iden-t-ify the particular data areas that have changed enough to af- fect the reliability of conclusions and programs based on that data. In some isolated cases, the information gathering process has al- ready revealed areas that should be further refined to improve data quality. 01-06.1 01-06 Coordination With Other Plans and Programs The Statewide Planning Program and the Department of Natural Resources utilize a number of mechanisms to insure that the state's Recreation Guide Plan is coordinated with other state plans and programs.. This section will briefly discuss the most significant mechanisms and outline some of the more significant state programs. 01-06-01 State Level Coordination A. Governor's Office In 1973 a Policy and Program Review staff was created to more'closely integrate the policy direction of the Chief Executive with the development activities of the operating agencies of state government. There are several agencies that make or implement poli- cies by their respective mandates and actions. The Department of Economic Development', Department of Natural Resources, and the Coast- al Resources Management Council, among others, make operational de- cisions that have policy implications. The State Planning Council and the Statewide Planning Program are charged with the responsibi- c' lity of developing and adopting a long-range guide plan for the state (which includes recreation as a vital element of that guide plan). The Governor, as charged by the Constitution, is required to make short-range decisions that very often have long-range implications. .An annual policy formulation process, accomplished through the coor- dination of thes'e state agencies with the Policy and Program Review staff will serve to link operational imperatives with the long-range planning goals. The staff will work with the State Planning Council; the Statewide Planning Program staff; the Budget Office, Department of Administration; the Rhode Island,Port Authority and Economic De- velopment Corporation; the Department of Economic Development; the Department of Natural Resources; the Department of Community Affairs .(particularly the Division of Planning and Development); the Depart- ,ment of Transportation; the Air and Water Pollution Control Divisions of the Department of Health; the Housing and Mortgage Finance Corpo- ration; the State Energy Office; the Public Utilities Commission; and other state agencies that impact development policy in conducting this process. B. State Planning Council The State Planning Council assists the Statewide Planning Program in coordinating the planning and development activities of state departments and agencies, local governments and private in- dividuals. This Council provides the Program with a broad range of interests and viewpoints in the state planning process. All statements of goals and policies and all elements of the State Guide Plan must be approved by the Council, following public hearings. The membership of this Council is presented on page iv of this docu- ment. 01-06.2 C'. Technical Committee Technical guidance for the Program is provided by the Tech- Committee, appointed by the State Planning Council. This Com- mittee is also comprised of state, local, private, and federal repre- sentatives. The Committee gives technical direction to the staff, -reviews all work while in progress and upon completion, -reviews all maj,or reports and plans and recommends action thereon to the State Planning Council, and advises the Council on the performance of all of its functions. The membership of this Committee is listed on 'page v of-this plan. D. A-95 Review Process In Rhode Island, the Statewide Planning Program is desig- .nated as the state clearinghouse for federal and federally-assisted projects under Office of Management and Budget Circular A-95. Under this -regulation, proposed federal grants and loans under designated programs, including BOR's Land and Water Conservation Fund Act, direct federal development actions, and state plans are subject to review under provisions of 1) Section 204 of the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966, 2) Title IV of the Intergo- vernmental Cooperation Act of 1968, and 3) Section 102 (2-c) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The A-9S review process in Rhode Island is further strength- ened by close coordination with capital improvement programming, which is designed to integrate capital-acqu'isitions with a broad scale long-term supporting fiscal program. As part of the capital development program the Budget Division estimates the cost of total long-term needs by categories corresponding to the state's program structure. Capital needs are thenlreviewed relevant to the needs and priorities of the entire state. The sources of proposals for the capital development program include agency requests for capital ,construction, functional elements of the State Guide Plan, and re- commendations of.the Budget Division. The development of a capital improvement programming system which integrates proposals of the State Guide Plan with state budgeting procedures is an important means of assuring public investment in needed conservation and rec- reation land and other facilities as part of a consistent program ((41:197)). Review of any federally assisted recreation projects will utilize the State's recreation plan and relevant local recreation plans when appropriate. This will.insure conformance with the accepted recreation goals and policies as well as the overall devel- opment goals and policies established for the state. The primary vehicle for accomplishing this conformance will be the review of each proposal according to A-95 guidelines by the members of the Recreational Resources Review Committee. The Committee will then make a recommendation to the Technical Committee of the State Plan- ning Council. 01-06.3 E. Committees and Other Organizations In addition to the State Planning Council and Technical Com- mittee, the Statewide Planning Program and/or the Department of Natural Resources are associated with or represented on the follow- ing committees and organizations. Membership on or service to these committees and organiz,ations insures consistency with the SCORP.

State Plans and Programs A. State Guide Plan The state's Plan for Recreation, Conservation and Open Space is an element o@ the State Guide Plan. The State Guide Plan serves, asa guide for the physical, social, and economic development of the state. This guide plan provides for the long range development of the state. All planning studies are coordinated with this long range guide plan and because the completed elements of the State .Guide Plan are being placed on a continuous maintenance basis, the plan will provide an essential framework that will be responsive in evaluating relevant capital improvement proposals as well as short-term proposals that have long-range implications. Besides recreation, other elements cover such areas as land use, highway transportation,1public transit, airports, public facilities such as water and sewer service, historic preservation, and administra- tive [email protected] state government. Two of the elements that have significant impact on recreation planning are described below: a) State Land Use Policies and Plan The State Land Use Policies and Plan document is closely integrated with the recreation guide plan. The inventory of existing open space and recreation areas has been incorporated into the land use plan. By the same token, future proposals for specific recrea- tion facilities must be in agreement with the designated or proposed land uses and the goals of the State Land Use Policies and Plan. Many of the goals'and policies relative to recreation are also in- cluded in the land use plan and a number of implementation measures described in the land use plan are designed to achieve the goals and VA recommendations, of the recreation guide plan. b) Historic Preservation Plan Coordination between the recreation and historic preserva- tion fields is addressed through the following procedures: (a) The Director of the Department of Natural Resources and the Chief of the Statewide Planning Program (or their designees) serve as ex-officio members of the State Historic Preservation Commission. (b) The preparation and continuous refinement of the f Ian is undertaken by the staff of the Historical reservation Commission, assisted by the Statewide Planning Program staff. (c) The State Historic Pres.erv ation Plan, like the other elements of the State Guide Plan, must be approved by the State Planning Council. 01-06.5 In addition, the Department of Natural Resources periodically requests the advice of the Preservation Commission on projects in historic areas.. Both the Statewide Planning Program and the Divi- sion of Planning and Development in the Department of Natural Resour- ces have furnished the Historical Preservation Commission with inven- tories of state properties under various jurisdictions that may be of historical significance. Active coordination has taken place on one state recreation project with historical significance. Under an in- formal arrangement, the planning and development of Fort Adams State Park is being accomplished through the cooperative efforts of the .Department of Natural Resources and the Historical Preservation Com- mission. It is envisioned that a close cooperative effort will be re- quired in the development of all recreational areas that are also recognized historic sites, to be able to provide needed recreation facilities while insuring the protection of historic areas. B. Protection of Unique Natural Areas A survey of unique natural areas in Rhode Island has been completed as part of a New-England region-wide effort. This survey, sponsored by the New England Regional Commission and directed by the New England Natural Resources Center, was conducted in this state by the Aududbon Society of Rhode Island with the assistance of an ad- visory committee. The Statewide Planning Program and the Department of Natural Resources were members of the advisory committee. To date, approximately 220 places of special geological, botanical, hydrological, zoological and aesthetic interest have been identified and evaluated. The' aim of this invent ory is to assist in the preservation of natural features which may be.threatened by urban development or by environmental forces. The results of this unique areas survey .are included in the summaries of Special Studies. C. Southeastern New England and Related Land Resources (SENE) Study The SENE Study is a comprehensive f6deral-state planning ef- fort. Briefly stated, the purpose of the SENE Study is to identify and recommend actions to be taken by all levels of government and pri- vate interests to secure for the people of the region the full range of uses and benefits which may.be provided by balanced conservation and development of water and related land resources. The objective of the study is to determine ways through which water and related land management can help meet two of the compelling needs of the region: 01-06.6 a) Sound and solid economic opportunity; and b) a living environment of clean water, open space and beauty that enriches human dignity and enjoyment. The. state's recreation plan is coordinated with this study by membership on the New England River Basins Commission, the SENE Study's Coordinating Group, and Study Management Team. Rhode Island, the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, and Massachusetts also served as co-chairmen of the recreation planning group. 01-06-03 Local Level Coordination It is the responsibility of the Department of Natural Re- sources and the Statewide Planning Program to maintain the State's eligibility for grants-in-aid tinder the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act. This eligibility is maintained through the periodic pub- lishing of a Plan for Recreation, Conservation and Open Space. This State plan must include a comprehensive plan for outdoor recrea- tion at the local-level in order to maintain eligibility for grants- in-aid.. The preparation of the local system section of the plan re- quires extensive and detailed information on all aspects of outdoor recreation in each community within the state. This information is also required by local planning officials in the preparation of their local outdoor recreation plans to insure realistic and effective out- door recreation decision-making. The Land and Water Conservation'Fund Act of 1965 as amended, provides that financial assistance to the states . . . may be made . . . for outdoor recreation planning . . . (Section 5 (a)(1)), and that " . . . funds may be transferred by the State to a political subdivision. . ." (Section 5 (f)),.on a contract basis, provided that certain eligibility requirements are met. The latter is also au- thorized by Chapter 174 of the Public Laws of 1964. Funds may be used for all phases of the planning process including: 11surveys, technical studies,,data collection and analysis, and other opera- tions required to prepare and maintain . . ." the statewide Plan for Recreation, Conservation and Open Space. This document repres@nts a dramatic departure from previous state recreation plans in this area of local level coordination. For the first time, provisions for direct local input to the state Rec- teation Guide Plan have been made. This procedure was instituted to assure the most accurate data base attainable and also to provide fair representation of the conditions, needs, and local priorities in each community. This planning information also served as the basis for the total planning document required from each community to maintain eligibility for federal funds under the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act. A formal contract was drawn up that called for six planning elements to be completed and submitted by the agency OL responsible for each community's recreation plan. A copy of this Planni ng Services Contract which outlines the requirements and con- ditions to be met is included in the Appendix. 01-06.7 Completion of an acceptable outdoor recreation pl an by each community is mandatory before acquisition and development funds can be awarded. Because of problems experienced by some communities in meeting the original deadline called for in the contract, extensions were granted on request. The Appendix presents the form used for this purpose. Although many submissions were either late or ina- dequate in some respects, it is felt that a better information base and a better insight into the desires of the local community con- tributed to a more comprehensive state document, while serving as an added incentive for the necessary updating of the local recrea- .tion plans, many of which had lost their relevance in light of the changing conditions in the community and the state as a whole.

These are reflected in the goals and policies _ contained in the State Land Use Policies and Plan and in other ele- ments of the State NuTre Plan. The purpose of a statement of this nature is to establish a framework of fundamental objectives to guide the formulation of all plans and implementation programs. The policy statement presents goals in three broad categories: human resources, the environment, and facilities and services. Many of the policies and proposed actions which support these goals deal either directly or indirectly with various aspects of recreation, conservation ' and open space. All of the goals and policies stated herein are in full agreement with the general development goals esta- blished for the State while serving to focus on the more specific policies requi red for the recreation discipline. GOAL: PROVIDE FOR ADEQUATE AND DIVERSE RECREATIONAL OPPORTU- NITIES AND FACILITIES PRIMARILY TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE STATE'S RESIDENTS WHILE ALSO ATTRACTING AND SERVING VISITORS. -Meet the needs and recreat ional interest,s of people of all social, economic, and age groups and all abilities. -Relate the type and size of facilities provided to the pertinent characteristics of the service area. -Improve access to recreation facilities and, where feasible, consider their re-distribution in order to maximize recrea- tional opportunities. -Assign priorities for acquisition and development programs based on periodic studies of demand and usage. -Support efforts to maintain state and local programs.for preservation of truly significant historic places through identification, acquisition, and restoration. -Achieve greater coordination among state agencies in preser- vation matters as they affect recreational opportunities and facility development. GOAL:' PRESERVE AND PROTECT OPEN SPACE SO AS TO ENHANCE THE TOTAL QUXL-ITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT. Consider open space requirements in terms of complete eco- -logical systems. -Protect and enhance valuable scenic areas. 02-01.2 -Retain some areas in their natural state in order to maintain a land reserve for future needs or simply to preserve their rural character when desirable. -Preserve and, where possible, restore the resources of the coastal region in order to benefit from its variety of assets. -Discourage over-utilization of ecologically fragile natural resources. 'GOAL: INSURE THE SOUND USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF APPROPRIATE LAND AND-TUTER RESOURCES IN RHODE ISLAND FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES. -Encourage opening private lands to public use by limiting .land owner's liability. -Acquire abandoned rail corridors suitable for recreational purposes. -Establish the optimum functions for various land and water areas in Rhode Island, keeping them in perspective with overall state development goals. -Provide for access to and the use of utility corridors for recreation. -Adopt tax policies and planning concepts favoring the preser- vation of valuable private open-space, forest, and conservation areas. Where development of public open space is necessary it should be in accordance with the needs of the service area. -Improve opportunities for water-oriented recreatio n by in- suring the public's right to use various water bodies and by providing additional access to salt and fresh water through acquisition, lease, or easement. -Make mktiple use of water bodies and consider the multiple use potential of all water resources development projects.for recreation and other purposes wherever possible. -Reduce conflicts in the coastal region between different uses and between government jurisdictions. -While maintaining the quality of the water-oriented recrea- tional experience, provide for adequate supervision of water bodies to insure public safety. GOAL: RECOGNIZE THAT NARRAGANSETT BAY IS THE STATE'S MOST IMPORTA=ATURAL FEATURE AND RECREATIONAL RESOURCE. -Use Narragansett Bay primarily, but not exclusively, to pro- vide active and passive recreational opportunities. Eva- luate all other potential uses of water and contiguous lands in terms of this primary function. 02-01.3 -Conserve and protect the Bay as an open space which is essen- tial to maintenance of a natural environment, particularly in and near the state's major urban communities. Emphasize the preservation of natural areas which are im- portant components of the Bay ecosystem in wildlife, marine life, or vegetative habitat, prevention of erosion and sedi- mentation, protection from flooding,-and other concerns. -Protect the cultural heritage of the state which has grown up around the Bay and which demonstrates its original habi- tation, colonial settlement, and development through revo- lutionary, agricultural-commercial, manufacturing, and other activities. GOAL: IMPROVE THE CAPABILITY OF BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS=RESPOND TO RECREATIONAL NEEDS AT BOTH THE COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL LEVELS WITHIN THE STATE. -P rovide technical assistance to responsible recreation con- cerns for planning purposes as required. Make appropriate facilities available for recreation programs that foster an appreciation of the natural ecology and can supplement the environmental educational needs of the commu- nity. -Insure that local governments have adequate statutory authority to meet their recreation, conservation and open space respon- sibilities through state enabling legislation for regulation of land use. Insure that adequate allocations of state and federal match- ing funds are made available to those communities demonstrating need and assigning high priority for the recreation, conserva- tion and open space discipline. -Encourage communities to take advantage of their distinctive character due to natural features,. historical factors, and local desires. -Concentrate on the intensive development of urban park areas to more adequately serve the needs of recreationally disad- vantaged groups in the metropolitan areas. -Encourage the inclusion of neighborhood recreation facilities as integral parts of community development.plans under other applicable federal programs. - Encourage the development of linear,parks, and wherever possi- ble utilize them to tie together various recreation sites and to link related land uses. 02-01.4 GOAL: UTI LIZE, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE CAPABI- LITIES 5-FTHE PRIVATE SECTOR IN THE OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL AREA. -Encourage investment by the private sector in certain recrea- tional facilities usually appealing to specific segments of the population., -Promote coordination between the public and private sector by assisting local governments to establish regulatory guide- lines for private recreation development which serve the best interests of the community. -Minimize public sector involvement in specific recreation facilities that can be adequately supplied by the private sector. -Where exis-ting recreational facilities provided by public agencies parallels that of private enterprise, rate struc- tures or user fees should be competitive. GOAL: IMPROVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR WATER-ORIENTED RECREATION BY REDUCTIRIG POLLUTION AND CONTROLLING WATER QUALITY IN RHODE ISLAND'S WATER BODIES. Preserve existing tidal marshes and shellfish beds, and im- prove harbors and anchorages to foster growth in the fishing industry and in recreational fishing. -Secure and manage sources of water adequate to meet future needs. -Continue the.close coo rdination of the state's water pollution control planning activiti.es such as those concerned with water resource and land use development. -SupporX efforts to maintain and strengthen the state's regu- latory activities for water pollution control. -Intensify research activities designed to improve the propa- gation of marine life, including determination of the potential effects of thermal pollution and development of innovations in the control of oil spills. 02-02.1 02-02 Recommendations The following recommendations represent the basis fo r a propo- sed action plan designed to provide the.overall guidance for the fu- ture,of outdoor recreation and conservation in Rhode Island. They do not merely identify a series of well thought out proposals, but are substantively backed by either reliable.statistical data or are the result of identifying significant areas of concern that require some form of action. They effectively complement the general goals and policies previously stated and they have not been conceived as permissive.statements subject to liberal interpretation. Many are specific in nature because the facts demand it. This document has benefited from the best supportive survey information on recreation ever available in this state. Making all the recommendations general in scope-would be a great disservice to the time.and effort expended toward this end. Any listing of recommendations usually entails the connota- tion of establishing priorities. Because so many variables can influence priorities of individual needs, it was felt that grouping the recommendations into three categories would be more realistic and useful. In this way the document mandates the highest priority for Category I realizing that staff, financial, or other restric- tions may require temporary substitution of some recommendations . from Category II or III. Thus, a priority format is retained while permitting some flexibility-necessitated by'these variables. Recommendations requiring specific implementation actions are cross-referenced to the section that fully addresses the pro- pos.ed actions. 02-02-01 Recommendations - Category I The State should meet immediate short-term recreational needs first. If additional state funds become available, lower priority land acquisition should be made in anticipation of long-term needs (see page 05-03.22). Improve use opportunities at existing urban and metropolitan parks, and develop additional neighborhood recreation areas in. ac- cordance with the policies of the State Guide Plan (see pages OS-03.21, 09-01.11). Improve public transportation to recreation sites particu- larly,in and around urban areas (see pages 05-0.3.22, 09-01.4). Provide fresh water swimming principally in the west and east metropolitan regions, not only to meet supply deficiencies but also as a substitute for salt water swimming (see pages OS-03.10, 12, 22, 09-01.2). Establish transportation and other programs to improve accessi- bility of the population to existing salt water beaches (see page 05-03.23, 09-01.5). 02-02.2 The Congress should revise the federal funding.formula for the Land and Water Conservation Fund from its present SO-SO match to a substantially higher federal share (see page 09-01.1). Establish a position of Local Recreation Coordinator in the Department of Natural Resources to assist and guide the local commu- nities in addressing their recreational needs (see page 09-01.1S).- Re-organize the existing Recreation Resources Review Comm ittee ,and charge the Committee with determining the suitability of specific recreation proposals in light of the priorities and needs established in the local planning elements submitted for the state's Recreation, Conservation and Open Space Plan (see page 69-01.14). Develop a comprehensive method for the systematic evaluation of the state's we.tland resources (see pages 05-05.4, 09.-01.5). Re-structure the present user-fee system to make it more com- prehensive for providing local financial assistance for recreation (-see page 09-01.13). Adopt a formal arrangement between the Rhode Island Historical Preservation Commission and the Department of Natural Resources for the purpose of facilitating the orderly development of areas that have both historic and recreational significance (see pages 05-05.2, 09-01.6). Land and Water Conservation Fund guidelines should be modified to permit increased utilization of monies for renovation and/or major maintenance of inadequate existing facilities (see page 09-01.1). Complete a feasibility study for the establishment of a scenic and recreational river system in the state (see pages 05-05.6, .09-01.6). .Improve the accessibility of the elderly to recreation sites and increase their participation by modification of existing programs and provision of special needs programs as required (see pages 05-05.17, 09-01.9). 02-02-02 Recommendations - Category II .Redistribute use of salt water beaches to obtain a more uniform.utilization (see 'pages 05-03.10, 05-03.23, 09-01.2). Meet picnicking deficiencies in all regions, and particti- larly the West Metropolitan.and Northeastregions (see pages 05-03.11, 22, 09-01.4 and also Figure 05@03(5)). 02-02.3 Meet statewide supply deficiencies in tennis. These are most acute in the West Metropolitan and Northeast regions (see pages 05-03.17, 22, 09-Ol,3 and also Figure 05-03(5)). The Statewide Planning Program should complete its flood plain management study and examine alternative protection and regulation tech- niques for flood prone areas (see pages 05-05.3, 09-01.11). The effects of non-point sources of pollution and both strut- tural and non-structural solutions for the enhancement of water qua- lity should be evaluated to determine their impact on the quality of outdoor recreation, conservation, and open space areas.(see pages 05-05.2, 09-01.10). The State of Rhode Island should, according to recommended schedules presented in the Bay Islands Park Feasibility Study, ini- tiate the development of presently owned state land, and establish a priority program for acuiring those remaining parcels of land constituting the complete park system(see pages.0.5-04.1,09-01.8). Acuire surplus federal lands that are suitable for satisfying recreational needs of all regions of the state (see page 05-04.1). Develop a statewide system of trails following the recommenda- tions proposed in the Trail Advisory Committee Report, giving special emphasis establishing recreational and commuter bikeways (see pages 05-03.1,8,-19, 20, 05-9.4.13). A definitive study that generates reliable technical data should be accomplished to determine the degree of impact of various recreation activities upon water quality (see pages 05-04.10, 09 - 01. 7) Assign responsibility within state government to effectively coordinate natural areas programs on both the state and New England levels (see page 05-04.5). Because of Rhode Island's climatic conditions, appropriate changes in the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act should be made to enable funding of special facilities that are either adaptable to year round use by seasonal enclosure, or are permanently enclosed, so that the regional demand for certain recreational activities can be better satisfied. 02-02-03 Recommendations - Category III Determine the degree of impact of the present tax structure in Rhode Island on various types of open space land under the juris- diction of the private sector (see pages 05-05.1, 09-01.9). 02-02.4 Investigate legal provisions which create conflicts between private ownership and the recreational use of the state's navigable waterways. Clarify public regulations for recreational use of navi- gable waterways (see pages 05-05.4, 09-01.6). Identify, publicize, and protect areas of scenic, historical, and cultural interest for the large sightseeing population (see pages 05-03.13, 23, 09-01.10). Improve public access to the shore to maximize the opportuni- ties for salt water related activities (see-pages 05-03.10, 14, 16, 2 0 9 - 0 1 . 11) . Provide increased acccss to state parks and management are areas for use by various voluntary or special interest groups, and assist in the coordination of their activities with local and state programs (see pages O5-04.17, 09-01.16). Encourage the Rhode Island Department of Transportation to include recreational considerations in their transportation activi- ties as part of the planning process for new proposals and also as part of any major modifications to existing facilities (see page 0504.13). For the promotion of environmental awareness, encourage the Department-of Education to foster the use and study of appropriate natural areas as part of the educational curriculum in all school districts (see pages 05-05.7, 09-01.7). Minimize, and eventually eliminate, any competitive situa- tions between the public and private sector in providing recreation when the private sector can adequately meet the need. (see page 09-01.16). Assist the private sector with market information so that both the recreation industry and the state's population will re- ceive maximum benefits (see pages 05-03.24, 09-01.16). tA @,@i @Z list Ebb z MT.'

It is bordered on the north and east by Massachusetts, on the west by Connecticut and New York, and on the @south by the Atlantic Ocean (see Figure 03-01(l) ). Bot, h the nor- thern and western boundaries are relatively straight lines, with the remaining lines being irregular. The state encompasses approximately 1,214 square miles, 13 percent of which is the Narragansett Bay. An outstanding feature of Rhode Island is the state's close association with'the' ocean.. In addition to the state's 136 miles of land boundaries, Rhode Island has approximately 420 miles of salt water coastline. Spread along this 420 miles of coastline are more than 100 public and private, developed and undeveloped, sandy beaches set between picturesque vistas of rock-bound, wave-washed shore. A major factor in the state's coexistence with the ocean is Narragansett Bay, an estuary extending about 28 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean. It was formed from a number of submerged river valleys about the time of the Great Ice Age, and now covers approxi- mately 170 square miles. As shown in Figure 03-01(2), Rhode Island is divided into 39 municipalities, eight of which are incorporated as cities. These are Central Falls, Cranston, East Providence,-Newport, Pawtucket, Providence, Warwick and Woonsocket. The remaining 31 municipalities are incorporated as towns. All of the state's municipalities and the area they encompass are listed in Table 03-01(l). The state also contains parts of the three standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA's); the Providence-Pawtucket-Warwick SMSA, the Fall River SMSA, and the New London-Warwick-Groton SMSA (see Figure 03-01(3) ). The five counties in the state, Bristol, Kent, Newport, Providence and Washington, have no governmental functions except in part.as judicial districts. Figure 03-010) MAINE VT. N.H; MAS S.

This is revealed by the oldest rocks in the state, the Blackstone Series, which form a major por- tion of the state's substructure. These large masses of metamotphic rock along the Blackstone Valley show that there was a basin, trough .or shallow sea where the eroding, ancient land mass of Appalachia deposited sand, clay, and limestone. This basin was the result of the upwarping of what is commonly called the Appalachian Geosyncline. As warping continued, the basin sank deeper, filling with several thousand feet of sedimentary and volcanic layers. Then came a period of folding and faulting, caused by crustal movements, that resulted in the uplifting'of the sedimentary masses. Up from below, through this emerging land mass,'came igneous material which cooled when it reached the surface and crystallized into the older granite rocks which now underlie most of Rhode Island. This period ended with Rhode Island being a portion of what is now the Appalachian Moun- tains. All that remains today are the roots left after the mountains were carried away by erosion. During the Pennsylvania Period, about 300 million years ago, this. erosion continued as mountain streams deposited large amounts of gravel, sand, and clay into the lowland, forming the Narragansett Basin sedimentary rocks. Occasionally"at various locations within this basin, there were marshes or swamps in which trees and other plant material accumulated to.eventually form coal deposits. Succeeding the formation of the Narragansett Basin about 250 million years ago, came another mountain building cycle with the sedimentary layers being folded and faulted by the earth's forces, Iollowed by metamorphic recrystallization and granite intrusion. This area then lay relatively quiet for a very long time. About a million years ago, this area had been eroded to a gentle topography, with the Narragansett Basin Coal-Age rocks forming a lowland and the older granites,forming highland. Rhode Island remained this way until recently, geologically speaking. About 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, a large mass of glacial ice moved down from Canada. This was the Great Ice Age. The ice covered the whole state.along with the rest of New England and much of the northern Mississippi Valley. It scraped up pre-glacial soils, and plucked out blocks and boulders as it pushed its way over the state. -Hills were scratched and streamlined in the direction of the ice movement which, at the same time, gouged out many valleys. When the climate warmed, the glacier retreated from the area leaving large quantities of debris or till which characterizes much of*the state today. ((19:15)) 03-02.2 The last major geologic occurrence happened' just after glaci a- tion. The whole area sank with some river valleys being submerged to form Narragansett Bay and its islands.as we know it today. 03-02-02 Exploration, Settlement and Development ((1,8.,22,33)) Some historians believe.that Norsemen first explored the coast and islands of Rhode Island in the llth or l2th century. This sup- position is supported by the theory that the Old Mill, or circular tower, standing'in Touro Square, Newport, was built by Vikings as a place of worship, and by other artifacts. This theory and the theory that Miquel Corte-Real, a Portuguese navigator, discovered Narragan- sett Bay in 1502, have never been proven. ((8:17)) Evidence does show that the first European to enter Narragan- sett Bay was Giovanni Verrazzano, an Italian who sailed in with the tide on his ship "'Dauphin," on May 6, 1524. Verrazzano's records show that during the fifteen days his ship was anchored in Newport Harbor, his crew was in friendly contact with the Indians on both shores of the Bay. Both tribes, the Wampanoags on the eastern shore and Narragansetts on the western shore, were friendly to the early Europeans. ((8:19)) The next European to arrive was Captain Adrian Block, a Dutch- man, who in 1614 explored the state's southern coast, Narragansett Bay,.and Block Island. The first permanent settler in what is now Rhode Island was William Blackstone, who in 1634 located his home in seclusion on a hill overlooking the Blackstone River in what is now Cumberland. He was followed on April 30, 1636, by William Arnold and his son Benedict, who also settled in the wilderness,of the Moshassuck Valley. ((1:104)) Although Blackstone and the Arnolds settled in Rhode Island, the first permanent settlement of any magnitude is credited to Roger Williams, who in mid or late April, 1636, after fleeing from Massa- chusetts with a handful of followers in search of free worship, landed on the shore of the Moshassuck River and founded Providence. In addition to the colony at Providence, there were other set- tlements beginning in other parts of what is now Rhode Island. The second settlement was made at Portsmouth by William Coddington and his associates in 1638. The third settlement was started at Newport by Coddington and a few others from Portsmouth in 1639. Both settle- ments were on the island of Aquidneck which was later called Rhode Island. The fourth settlement was made at Warwick by Samuel Gorton and his friends in 1642 on the northwest shore of Narragansett Bay. ((22:14)) 03-02.3 These four settlements united.in-1643 under a patent of civil incorporation and in 1663 after a number of disruptions, received a Royal Charter from King Charles II. Thi.s changed the name of the corporation and established a new government with the title of "Th@e Governor and Company of the English Colony.of Rhode Island and Provi- dence Plantation in New England in America." ((22:14)) The new colony provided the settlers a greater degree of self-government than any other colony and authorized them "to hold forth a lively experiment that a most flourishing civil state may stand and best be maintained .with full liberty in religious concernments." ((22:19)) The next prominent event in Rhode Island's early history was the King Philip's War, which dealt the colony-a severe blow. This was the most devastating of the Indian wars in New England. The mainland was in turmoil as the conflict raged from 1675 until the Sachem of the Wdmpanoag Indians was killed in'1676., Rhode Island in the last half of the 17th century was an agri- cultural community. What commerce that developed was chiefly due to shipments:of provisions, butter, cheese, pork, beef, and horses to the West Indies in exchange for staple island products such as rum, sugar, molasses and cotton. The absence of established religion h ad, many ramifications affecting even the physical arrangement of the townscapes. Unlike ,settlements in other New England area's where conformity in religion was the pattern, Rhode Island towns did not develop around town squares or commons whose prominent feature was the meetinghouse. Rhode Island towns developed in-a linear fashion, either along a waterfront or a post road. With its Royal Charter of 1663 granting religious. freedom and large amounts of home rule, Rhode 'Island towns were the principal focus of government. Counties never became more than units of judi- cial administration and today have almost no significance. The Gover- nor was chiefly a ceremonial figure until 1935, the real power resi- ding with the legislature whose two houses sitting in a grand committee appointed nearly all office holders until the third decade of the twen- tieth century, when the source,of their appointive power,the Brayton Act was,repealed. From the outset, the wide variety of religious practice, the political contentiousness and competition among the towns and the absence of a strong centralizing force in the form of a powerful governor fragmented and diffused a society which otherwise would have lent itself to easy control and direction by being geographically ,so compact. Add to this mix a Charter which'allowed considerable local initiative and a maritime economy whose base was worldwide commerce and you have the ingredients.for a kind of atomistic anarchy which has been a strong strain, though not always a dominant one, through Rhode Island's history. 03-02.4 At the beginning of the l8.th..centuTy,.the colony@of Rhode Is- land included nine towns.an*d 7,181 inhabitants. The first,'half'of the century was marked by an increasing volume of trade'witth;the ' West Indies and by the profitable.business of privateering that'was flourishing during.the wars between England and,France. -Privateering ive that it was * became so.lucrat* actually'legalized by.the,,state assem- bly.. Political.pressure from other colonie-s and England soon put an end to piracy, but not before Rhode Island gained a reputation for harboring pirates. Also at thi s time,.Rhode Isla d was becoming in volved, in a very lucrative slave' trading triangle-which operated between"Newport, the African west coast,, and the West Indies. The ships orig,ina*ted in Newport loaded with:-C-Airgo which would be traded for slave',s upon reaching Africa. The-ships were then bound for the West Indies or Gold Coast where.the slaves were sold for gold or goods. They would then return to Newport loaded with commodities for the Colony of Rhode Island. The'great wealth pouring into Rhode Island as a result of the wartime independent trade policy could not be contained at the mouth of the Bay. Along with the somewhat slower rise of the northern towns, emulation and then competition occurred. In due course.as Newport boasted of its Trinity Church, Colony House, Redwood Library, Touro Synagogue, and Brick Market; Providence built its first college, .Colony House, Market House, First Baptist Meetinghouse, and Athenaeum. Soon after the end of the last French War, Rhode Island became involved in the turmoil between E 'ngland and the other American Colo- nies. Earlier restrictions on trade in the seventeenth century were not generally enforced in the colony, but severe restrictions on manu- facturing along with the Molasses Actbegan to put a squeeze on the economy.- As the threats of George III and Parliament's interference with shipping intensified, Rhode Islanders reacted by destroying two British vessels in Narragansett Bay, the "Liberty" and the "Gaspee.11 These acts of rebellion brought'forth Admiralty Commissions.and stiff patrols throughout the*Bay compelling the normally indeppndent Rhode Islanders-to seek mutual assistance and.cooperation from their neigh- boring colonies. The outbreak of the Revolution found Rhode Island in' the van- guard. The colony had been the fitst.to*declare4ts independence from the Crown on.May 4, 1776, two months before the signing'of the Declaration.of Independence. This.makes Rhode Island theoldest inde- pendent state in the United States. Although little of.the war was actually.fought on Rhode Is- land soil, many Rhode Is.landers,including Nathan'ael Greene, Stephen and Esek Hopkins, William' Ellery, James Varnum, and William Barton made significant contributions to thecause. Newport was occupied first by the British and then by the French. The Battle of Rhode 03-02.5 Island in 1778 was prob ably the largest engagement which took place in New England. The conclusion of the war found Newport's maritime commerce and most of this oncelgreat colonial city in.a shambles. Unscathed, Providence emerged as the state's principal center. Providence's mer.chants, enjoying greater trading opportunities, extended their interests to South America and then across the Pacific to China. The pre-war political competition was revived. Now the areas .of contention were the State's issue of paper money, the federal im- post, and the ratification of the federal Constitution. With the decline of the Island towns and the steady growth of the northern ones, the imbalance of representation in the legislature which was fixed by the Old Charter began to be noticed. By 1790 the political lines were drawn between the Federalist merchants and their adherents, mostly clustered in the urba'n seaports, and their opponents'who formed a rufal or country party. For the next century and a half, an urban economic elite with a rural base would dominate Rhode Island politics, with only a few interuptions in their-authority. Rhode Island's reluctance to join the Union stemmed from the same impulses which propelled it into the Revolution: The fear of centralized power outside the state controlling activities within, the state. After flirting with the idea of an independent sovereign state, the Constitution was reluctantly ratified. Rhode Island was the last of the thirteen original states to do so. While the state pioneered in transforming its economy from maritime activity to textile manufacturing, it continued to operate under an outdated colonial Chatter whose absurdities nearly dissolved the state into anarchy after several sincere efforts at reform came to naught. Simultaneously with joining the Union,.at a time when its maritime trade was at anew peak for four years, successful attempts to mass produce cloth caused major segments of Rhode Island invest- ment.capital to be transferred from maritime commerce to textile manufacturing. The firm of Almy & Brown, with Samuel Slater's lea- dership and theadaptable artisans of the local forges and cabinet shops, produced good durable machines which made reasonably satis- factory and inexpensive cloth in quantity. Within two decades in- veStOTS who had previously owned fleets of seagoing carriers owned fleets of mills instead. Up the Blackstone Valley and west along the Pawtuxet sprang the mills. Prior urban patterns of seaport towns and post road villages were joined by the phenomenon of the self-con- tained mill village, dominated by the factory owners, its workers disenfranchised by being either -renters or foreign-born-immigrants. The growth of the factories and the increase of profits boomed through- out the local economy giving impetus to the expansion of already existing financial institutions such as banks and insurance*companies. 03-02.6 Following the War of 1812 much effort was spent reforming the state Constitution whi@ch, at that time, was still the King Charles Charter of 1663. This charter specified no suffrage qualifications and by 1840 about half the adult male population was unable to vot 'e. As the mill towns burgeoned, teeming with renters and workers under the control of richmill owners, the probability and possibility of reapportionment and extension of the suffrage became even more remote. The rural, large landowners knew that reapportionment and free suf- frage would end their control of the legislature. After much agitA- tion and resistance and following the Dorr Rebellion of 1842, the state enacted a new constitution in 1843 giving all adult land-owning males the right to vote. This constitution, although amended, is still in effect. A source of energy which.became widespread in Rhode Island around the year 1857 was steam power for running machines and facto- ries. This form of energy for textile manufacturing had been pion- eered:by Samuel Slater.in 1828 in his Providence mill. The produc- tion of boilers, steam engines, and locomotives became a substantial industry in Providence. The use of steam power to turn belts, pul- leys, and spindles meant that textile mills no longer had to be lo- cated at mill dams and falls where energized water conducted through power canals turned wheels and turbines. Instead, mills could be located in port cities with easy access to coal barges or rail trans- port. Within a decade the skyline of Providence, Warren, Bristoll East Gre'enwich, Wickford, and Newportwere pierced by smokestacks and a second era of manufacturing was begun. The 18th century port towns with their pedestrian-@scale gained a nineteenth century indus- trial overlay,.along with a new industrial population of non-Yankees, new problems of traffic congestion,.housing, health and education, not to mention a thick layer of industrial soot. Newport expanded in other ways as well. The summer capital of Rhode Island began its;sedond great emas an Atlantic coast re- -sort. Bellevue.Avenue was opened and the first of the great mansions Appeared. A new group of artists andwriters set up camp beyond the Avenue within the shadow of the Redwood Library. The United States Navy, long a.familiar feature.in town, expanded its ties by expanding Fort Adams and building the Naval War College. During the Civil War the "City by the Sea" also served as the site of the U.S. Naval Academy. Providence continued to grow by filling in low areas along the Providence River making a profusion of fingerlike wharves and dock s. The Great Salt Cove grew smaller and smaller as the railroad, horsecars and utility syst -ems began.to interlace out-lying neighbor- hoods into an urban whole. T-he new population to swell the industrial centers like Provi- dence, Pawtucket and Woonsocket came first from the nearby country towns and farms. Then in the 1830's this Yankee stock began to be 03-02.7 replaced by Irish immigrants. In the 1'86Vs French Canadians were brought in to work in the textile mills, and Italian immigration began in the 18801s. In the 1890's and first decade of the twentieth century came Portuguese, Poles, Ukranians, Armenians,, Jews from Eas- tern Europe, Lithuanians and Lebanese. As the cities continued to grow, and the sons of these immi- grants and naturalized citizens reached voting age, the political balance threatened to shift against the towns within which these compactly settled but unincorporated areas lay. The legislative managers performed a political cell division; Woonsocket was split off from Cumberland, Pawtucket from North Providence, and eventually Central Falls from Lincoln. Each time themore rural counterpart was left-in Republican hands while the new city was likely to have a Demo- cratic mayor, but a Republican city council, since, even under the ex- .panded suffrage of the 1888 Bourne Amendment to the State's constitu- tion, only property taxpayers Could elect councilmen. Under the im- petus7 of'the Brayton Act'of 1901 the rural controlled Senate gained power to appoint key city officials. The period from 1860 to 1990 was one of general business ex- pansion in Rhode Island, but by the first World War, industry began to show signs of age. Equipment and factories were wearing out, and labor was.not content to live under total factory domination. Some textile companies shifted certain processes to the south to be closer to the source of raw material and to have a less expensive work force in new factories. After the war came a series of crippling strikes and a period of little growth followed by the depression of the 19301s. The second World War revived the industry briefly, but in the period from 1946 through the decade of the fifties mill aftermill closed or-was sold to larger corporate combinations. The impact of the economic disaster resulting from the death of the State's primary industry was partly ameliorated by the devel- -opment of majormilitary installations at Newport, Quonset, and Davis- ville during the period,from 1939 to 1945. Following the war, Rhode Island experienced the same suburban sprawl which typified the Eas- ternseaboard from Boston to, Washington,' D.C. Greatest.growth oc curred in the cities of Warwick and Cranston. The somewhat weakened nature of the State's economy, however, has helped Rhode Island es- cape some of the worst excesses of suburban sprawl and some areas of earlier architectural styles survived and have been designated as historic districts., Gradual recovery and slow diversification.of employment into service industries has been the trend of the 1960's and early seventies. The..'soundness of this gradual recovery is under- scored by the general confidence which exists even in the face of the .most recent decisions to close most of the military installations. 03-03.1 03-03 Natural Environment 03-03-01 Climate A. General Rhode Island, a humid state with an average annual precipi- tation of about 40 inches, has a variable climate characterized by frequent but generally short periods of heavy precipitation. It lies in the path of the prevailing westerli-es and is exposed to cyclonic Aisturbances that cross the country from the west or southwest. Rhode Island is also subject to coastal storms that travel up the Atlantic seaboard in the form of hurricanes of tropical origin and storms of extratropical nature called "nor'easters". B. Temperature The temperature within the area varies from summertime highs in the 90 degree range to subzero, occurring for short periods in the winter. The mean annual temperature is 50.5 degrees farenheit (F.) with the average monthly temperature varying from about 72 de- grees F. in July to near 29 degrees F. in January and February. Ex- tremes.in temperature range from highs slightly in excess of 100 de- grees F. to lows in the minus 201s. Mean, maximum and minimum monthly temperatures recorded at the T.F. Green weather station and reported by the weather bureau are shown in Table 03-03(l). C. Precipitation The mean annual precipitation over the ten year period of 1965-74 is 43.57inches as measured at T.F. Green weather station and is rather evenly distributed throughout the year. Rhode Island's greatest annual precipitation recorded during the last ten years was 65.03 inches in 1972 and the minimum annual amount was 25.44 inches .in 1965. Table 03-03(2) summarizes the precipitation recorded by the U.S. Weather Bureau by month between 1965,and 1974. Table 03-03(3) presents the mean, maximum, and minimum monthly precipitation for the years 1965-74. D. Storms The rapidly moving cyclonic storms or "lows" that move into New England from the,west or southwest produce frequent periods of unsettled but seldom extremely severe weather. The state is frequent- ly exposed to coastal storms, some of tropical origin, that travel up the Atlantic coast. The most severe storms which occur during the late summer and early autumn, have been of tropical origin. 03-03.2 TABLE 03-03(l) MEAN MONTHLY MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM TEMPERATURES* AND ANNUAL AVERAGE-WARWICK, R.I.

Existing Topography and Geology ((21,46)) Rhode Island lies in two major physiographic sections of the New England.province. The northwest third of the state, which con- sists of rounded steep hills and narrow valleys, lies within the New England Upland section. The remainder of the state lies in the Seaboard Lowland section of the New England province, and con- sists of rounded hills that are less steep than those of the uplands. A. large portion of this lowland has been submerged forming Narragan- sett Bay. The many islands of the bay are formed by the higher ele- vations of the submerged hills. In general, the lowland area has an altitude of less than 200 feet. ((46:36)) Land surface altitudes in the state range from sea level along the Atlantic Coast and around Narragansett Bay toa high of 812 feet at JeTiomoth Hill in Foster. Surface altitudes are generally less than 400 feet in more than two-thirds of the state and less than 200 feet in about half the state (see Figure 0.3-03(l)). The bedrock geology-in the upland area is underlain mostly by granite rock., but.the eastern part of the upland area extending. from the vicinity of East Greenwich north to Massachusetts also con- tains irregular patches of schist, quartzite, and greenstone. The lowland area is underlain by downfolded and downfaulted beds of con- glomerate, sandstone, shale, and meta-anthracite, all of Carboniferous age. The solid bedrock is exposed as ledges in many places, but it is generally coveted by a layer of unconsolidated glacial drift ma- terial of varying thickness. These deposits are described as being of either hardpan or till material or an outwash. The hardpan or till is generally unconsolidated consisting of boulders, pebbles, sand,, silt and clay mixed together without sorting and without bed- ding. Where present, it generally lies directly over the bedrock. 'Although on the average it is only A few feet thick, some of these till deposits are known to exist in thicknesses exceeding 100 feet. Overlying the till or the bedrock and lying chiefly in the valley areas are outwash deposits of bedded gravels, sands, silts, and clays that were strewn out by meltwater from the ice of the great glacier that covered all of New England some fifteen thousand years ago. In some of the valleys of Rhode Island the outwash is as much as 100 or even 200 feet thick. ((46:36)) Block Island differs from the rest of Rhode Island in that little bedrock is exposed. Here, the deposits overlaying the bed- rock are composed primarily of a great variety of unconsolidated gla- cial. and older materials, including till, gravel, sand, and clay..

((46:36)) B. Soils (19,21,54)) The soilso 'f Rhode Island have developed largely from material accumulated during the Ice Age as glaciers moved over the area depo- siting soil as till or outwash. Since this glacial period, the soils .have generally developed under a forest cover of hardwoods and coni- fers, while some smaller areas have accumulated soils by recent al- luvial and organic actions.- .Since Rhode Island's soils are relatively young, it is impor- tant to note the underlying bedrock or parent materials of the area. This frequently determines characteristics and distribution of soils. The Vedrock underlying most of the state Consists of granite and the similar metamorphic rocks, gneiss and schist. Most of the state's soils have developed from these extensive parent granite materials. In addition, there are areas in the state which are underlain by sandstone, slate, shale and conglomerate. All of this bedrock ma- terialhas been covered by glacial deposits or drift. The upland soils covering the major portion of the state are very stony, the result of glacial action. However, these soils, be- cause of their basic structure and texture, are conducive to good root penetration, water percolation, adequate drainage, and a high water-holding capacity. With clearing, fertilizer, and proper care these soils are favorable for growth of forest grasses and various crops. The soils that have developed on the terraces and outwash plains are relatively stone-free and level. They have good to excessive -drainage and are variable in texture. These soils are less fertile since they were developed from coarser materials and have been leached to a greater extent. Basically, the soils do have good structure, and withan-adequate moisture supply and fertilization, would produce fair yields of crops. The,following list presents the eight general soil associations in the state. These categories, developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service,-represent the basic character-. istics of each association: SOIL ASSOCIATIONS ((21:36)) 1 Narragansett-Gloucester-Paxton association: Deep, well drained, gently rolling and sloping soils on glacial hills. 2 Ridgebury-Whitman-Mansfield association: Deep, poorly and very poorly drained, nearly level soils; on uplands. 03-03.7 3 Hinckley-Quonset-Warwick assotiation: Excessively and somewhat excessively drained, undulating and sloping, sandy and gravelly soils. 4 Hollis-Charlton association: Gently sloping and steep rocky soils that are shallow to bedrock and deep, very stoney soils. 5 Bridgehampton-Enfield-Belgrade association: Level and nearly level, deep, silty soils over stratified sand and gravel. 6 Scarboro-Peat and Muck association: Very poorly drained, mineral and organic soils; on lowlands. 7 Newport-Pittstown association: Gently sloping to sloping, well and moderately well drained soils with fragipans on smoothly rounded glacial hills. 8 Tidal Marsh-Coastal Beaches association:* Very poorly drained shore areas and sandy beaches that are subject to tidal fluctuations. C. Islands Rhode Island has a total of 60 salt water islands, most of which are in and around Narragansett Bay. The following are 10 of the larger islands in Rhode Island: Island City or Town Approximate Acreage Aquidneck Middletown 24,567 Newport Portsmouth Conanicut Jamestown 6,246 Block New Shoreham 6,069 Prudence Portsmouth 3,490 Hog Portsmouth 212 Patience Portsmouth 207 Dutch Jamestown 110 Coaster's Harbor Newport 105 Hope Portsmouth 92 Gould Jamestown S3 03-03.8 D Land-Cover Types ((7)) This section presents an inventory of Rhode Island's land- cover types, giving a-general insight into the impact of man on the various ecosystems. It shows that there remains some natural and unaltered land-cover types, while others have been severely changed or totally eliminated. For example, the diciduous forest, its asso- ciated wetlands, and the coastal salt marshes are among the state's major natural ecosystems, yet each has, during the past 350 years, been subject to great modification. To facilitate comparison of land-cover types and resources, Rhode Island's land surface has been organized into two categories, lands cleared of natural vegetation and uncleared land-cover types. Cleared land: Rhode Island's cleared lands are represented by two groups, urban and agricultural uses. These reflect the commit- ment of land resources to intensive human activity that confine the existence of natural ecosystems. Approximately one-third of Rhode Island's land has been cleared for urban, suburban and diminishing agricultural uses. Municipalities in the western and interior parts of the state have less than 25 percent cleared land while coastal and northeastern areas have more than 25 percent of their lands cleared (see Figure 03-03(2)). ((7:15)). Urban: These are lands used for residential, commercial, and industrial development, or those areas-other than farms that have been cleared of their natural vegetation cover. Today, Rhode Island has about 18 percent of its land area committed to urban usage. The majority of this urban land-cover is concentrated at the head of Nar- ragansett Bay (see Figure 03-03(3) ((7:17)) Agriculture: Active agricultural lands include farms, pastures And orchards, or those cleared of trees and covered with grass or the reamins of a crop. Almost every city and town in Rhode Island has some agricul- tural land-cover with the statewide total being about 11.6 percent of the state's land area. Agriculture has been in a constant state of decline since 1850, being first replaced by forest and then by urban development, generally of the residential type. ((7:18)) Uncleared land: Rhode Island's uncleared lands are classi- fied into three groups: forest, forest succession, and wetlands. These groups represent the existing natural ecosystems and cover approximately 70 percent of the state's land. Forest: Forest land is the dominant land-cover type in Rhode Island, comprising nearly 65 percent of the state's area.

Of these, hardwood and mixed forests are 'the most extensive, occupying a wide variety of ecological situations, while softwood forests are, least abundant. Of the 39 cities and towns in Rhode Island, only two have less than one percent of their land covered by forest. ((7:18)) Forest Succession: This category, classified as abandoned fields, abandoned orchards, and shrub types, although not extensive in area, has a wide distribution throughout the state. It represents land that has been cleared of its native vegetation, used for agriculture or .some other purpose, and then abandoned and permitted to-return, through natural plant succession, to forest. Comprising nearly 5 percent of the state's land area, it offers a unique vegetation type that-results from previous natural or man-related alteration of forest ecosystems. ((7:18)) Wetlands: The land-cover types described'as'w6tlands are fresh watef marshes, salt water marshes, and shrub swamps. Considered the scarcest ecosystem resource, they cover only 1.5 percent of Rhode Island, although practically every city and town has.som.e,,acreage in wetlands. ((7:19)) .03-03-03 Water Resources A. Inland Surface Water Rhode Island has a total of 357 fresh water lakes and ponds which comprise approximately 2.5 percent of the state's area or 28.8 square miles. These fresh water impoundments offer a shoreline of 464 miles. In addition, there are 26 inland salt ponds,.covering approximately 10.7 square miles, offering a shoreline of'96 mil'es. Of the total 383 impoundments, 8 percent are used to provide drinking water for various communities throughout Rhode Island. These account for 29 percent of the surface area covered by, and 20 percent of the. .shoreline encircling, the state's lakes and ponds. ((48:xi)) Rhode Island also has 272 streams grouped into 7 major river basins including the Moshassuck, Moosup, Blackstone, Pawtuxet, Paw- catuck, and Woonasquatucket Rivers. Of these rivers, the.Pawcatuck is the longest as it winds its way 33 miles across the southern por- tion of the state. These rivers and their tributaries are also di- vided into two groups, those that flow into Narragansett Bay, having a combined drainage area of about 750 square miles, and those that drain into Long Island Sound, having a combined drainage area of about.300 square miles. B. Ground Water ((54)) Precipitation is the source of essentially 'all theground water supplies in Rhode Island. The ground wells.bored into the.ign:eous 03-03.10 and metamorphic rocks yield an average of about 12 gallons per mi- nute, while those bored into sedimentary rocks average about 31 gallons per minute. The total withdrawal of ground water in Rhode I-sland is approximately 25 million gallons per day. Of this about 12.3 million gallons are pumped for public supply, 10.4 million gallons for industry, and 2.3 million gallons for agricultural uses. The supply of underground reservoirs is continuously being replenished by local precipitation which yields 17 million gallons of water per square mile for every inch of rain. Thus, Rhode Island, with a total area of 1,068 square miles and a mean annual precipita- tion of approximately 43 inches, catches over 780 billion gallons of water per year. 0.3-03-04 Fish and Wildlife ((21)) Rhode Island's geographical location and natural features pro- vide *conditions suited for a wide species spectrum of fish and wild- life. The profile from the granite uplands to the coastal outwash plain combined with its many fresh and salt water ponds and marshes as well as rivers and salt estuaries provide the habitat necessary for species survival. The 357 fresh water lakes and ponds provide good fishing for bass, pickerel, panfish, and recently northern pike. The smaller ponds as well as the fresh water swamps and marshes provide excellent breeding and nesting areas for wood, black and mallard ducks, as well as muskrats, mink and otter. The upper Pawcatuck River and its tri- butaries, the Wood, Queens and Beaver Rivers, provide some of the fi- nest trout fishing in southern New England. The salt water marshes that occur along the coastline and the salt water ponds that lie behind the barrier beaches protecting the state's southern coastline provide spawning and nursery areas for -trash and game fish as well as such shellfish as scallops and oysters. The nutrients flowing from the decaying vegetation feed the plankton which in turn feed the numerous fish, shellfish and crustaceans which inhabit the open waters. They also provide resting, feeding and win- tering areas for migratory waterfowl. A. Wildlife There are still thousands of acres of o pen land along the wes- rn edge of the state. The hardwood/pine forests,provide the food and cover to maintain deer herds, ruffed grouse, snow-shoe rabbits (otherwise known as varying hare) grey fox and grey squirrel. The hemlock and cedar swamps provide winter cover for these same species. 03-03.11 The more open areas of the southern and eastern portions of the state (which also experience milder winters due to their proxi- mity to the shore) support populations of bob white quail, cotton- tail rabbits and red fox. Raccoons are found in all areas of the state as is a recent newcomer, the oppossum. A melting pot of the north and south gives Rhode Island a mul- titude of songbird species. There are over 40 permanent residents (including relatively recent species such as the cardinal and mocking- .bird) and.135 other species have been identified. Block Island, lying in the middle of the songbird migration route, is world famous for its census counts and bird watching. Most of the state's wildlife exist on private land which com- prises over 93 percent of the state's total land.area. Some owners permit hunting by request, while others have posted their land and allow no hunting at all. The state now manages approximately 34,000 acres of land with emphasis on upland gamespecies. Hunting license fees collected by the state are used to improve all types of wildlife habitat. Recrea- tional usage of these game management areas is often much greater by non-hunters than by hunters. The number of, deer in the state has been estimated at 1,200 to 2,400 animals. Mortality data and field observations indicate that the deer population has not fluctuated perceptibly in the past ten years. Actively farmed areas, which support the highest game popula- tions, are gradually being urbanized, reducing many lands formally used for hunting. Therefore, the State has adopted a program of land acquisition for game management. This land management system ,now includes 28 locations, 15 of, which are open to hunting, totaling over 21,000 acres. B. Fish T'here are approximately 60 recognized salt water fishing areas in the state, abounding in species such as,stripers, blues, flounder, tautogj marlin and tuna. .Fresh water fishing is available throughout the state. How- ever, of the 357 lakes and ponds, only 15 percent or 55 have public access. The remaining are privately accessible or completely unac- cessible, as in the 12 water supply -reservoirs. Native fish, such as large and small mouth bass, pickerel, and panfish are found almost everywhere. In addition, certain lakes and streams have been stocked with northern pike and trout. 03-04.1 03-04 Human Environment 03-04-01 Topulation Characteristics ((50,51))@ Rhode..Island.ls@po'pulation growth in recent decades may be cha- racterized in simplest.terms by two trends: stabilization and subur- banization. Stabilization ofthe total population,appears to be taking place, closely geared. to economic conditions (see Table 03-04(l) Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, rapid eco'nonic expansion, spurred on by cotton manufacturing, was accompanied by steady population growth. In this century,'growth has gradually slowed. The decline of the textile industry, the decreasing number of immigrants, and. the depression of the 1930's all contributed to a slackening of growth. Between 1950 and 1960 there was actually a net out-migration of population, although it was offset by a net natufal increase. Since'1960, however, the population growth rate has been relatively moderate and constant. Suburbanization is an equally recent phenomenon. Beginning in the eighteenth century, Rhode Island was more highly urbanized than the country as a whole. Early industrial. and commercial acti- vities, accelerating in the mid-nineteenth century, caused population growth to concentrate in Providence and, later, in Newport. Between 1850 and 1900, more than half of the population growth in the entire state took place in Providence and Newport. Following the Civil War, Woonsocket and Pawtucket also lost the'characteristics of rural towns and developed into urban'centers. It was around the end of World War I, however, when urban population growth began to decline, while suburbanization gained momentum. Areas just outside the Providence- Pawtucket urban core, such as Barrington, Cranston, East Providence, Johnston, North Providence, and Warwick started to increase rapidly in population. The trend was even more marked after World War II. @Older central cities (Central Falls, Newport, Pawtucket, Providence, and Woonsocket) suffered a net loss in population, while suburbani- zation spread to outlying communities like Coventry, Cumberland, East Greenwich, Middletown, Narragansett, North Kingstown, Portsmouth, Smithfield, South Kingstown, and Tiverton. Analysis of current population projections resulting from the interacting components of birth, death, and net migration show a gradual reduction in state population growth, with forecasted per- centage increases remaining below those anticipated for the nation. The population projections for the state of Rhode Island, its five counties, and 39 municipalities, from 1970 to 1990 by five year in- tervals.are presented in Table 03-04(2). 03-04-02 Transportation Facilities ((25,35)) There are eleven major highways which tTaveTse the state form- ing the major arteries of an efficient integrated roadway network, 03-04.2 TABLE 03-04(l).

Since 1956, $304 million.has been expended in Rhode Island for interstate highway construction alone. The heart of the program is a system of limited access routes which will link the metropolitan center with major interstate highways to New York, Hartford, Spring- field, Worcester and the Massachusetts Turnpike, Boston and Northern New England, Fall River, New Bedford and Cape Cod. All of the original 171 miles of interstate highways allocated to Rhode Island were completed and opened for traffic by 1975. ((25:114)) In 1969, the state's final segment of Interstate Route 95 was completed, bringing the total length to 43.3 miles from the western border with Connecticut through Providence to the Massachusetts line, where it connects with Massachusetts' portion of Route 95. Inter- state7 Route 195 is a branch route,to southeastern Massachusetts, while Interstate Highway 29S circles the metropolitan Providence area to the west (see Figure 03-04(l) ). Except for the Newport and Mt. Hope bridges, highways in Rhode Island are toll-free. ((25:114)) There are six state airports in Rhode Island with scheduled flights of Allegheny, American, Eastern, National,, and United Air- lines providing passenger and cargo service from Rhode Island's @ Theodore Francis Green Airport in Warwick to other points throughout the country. There is a current average of 65 scheduled flights per day, with direct flights to New York, Washington, Albany, Baltimore, Boston, Hartford, Miami, Philadelphia and Cleveland. ((25:113)) The two and one half million dollar terminal facility at Green Air- port, dedicated in 1961, handled 807,931 airline passengers and 22 million pounds of air cargo in 1971. The Penn Central Railroad which runs between New York and Boston provides all of the passenger and much of the freight rail service in Rhode Island. Additional freight lines owned by the Providence and Worcester, Moshassuck Valley, Narragansett Pier, Seaview, and Warwick rail companies feed cargo into the Penn Central's main line at various points along its course through the state. Passenger service is pro- vided solely by the Penn Central Railroad which operates the Amtrak service (a Federally-assisted public corporation) between New York and Boston, and its own commuter line from Westerly through Providence to Boston (see Figure 03-04(l) Interstate bus service to and from.the state is adequately provided by the Greyhound, Trailways, Almeida, and Bonanza bus com- panies. Intrastate fixed route scheduled operation is provided by the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority, and the ABC and Bonanza bus companies.

During the fiscal year 1972, Providence handled approximately 8.5 million tons of goods. Much of southern New England's domestic and industrial petroleum products are unloaded at Providence for trans-shipmen.t to inland areas. At the head of Narragansett Bay, it consists of approximately 10 miles of commercial water front on both sides of the.Providence River, and has a 40 foot channel,.600 to 1,300 feet wide. Facilities are provi- ded for handling bulk and general cargo at 27 private and public docks, one of which is used primarily for passeng 'er and automobile purposes. There is also a major shipping area centered around. Tiverton, Rhode Island, which handled one million tons of cargo during the 1972 fiscal' .year. In addition to these two terminals, the state operates piers at Pawtucket, Bristol and Narragansett. 03-04-03 Agriculture ((25)) In 1969, farm land in Rhode Island totaled 68,720 acres or approximately ten percent of the state's land area. Of this,. crop- land -and open pasture accounted for 31,840 acres or 4.7 percent of the total land area. There were 700 farms in 1969, a decrease of 400 since 1964. ((25:179)) Agriculture in the state has declined to a point.where now less than one percent of Rhode Island's labor force is primarily engaged in farming. This decrease in farming activity is partly the result of pressure from other labor markets, and partly a result of increased urban growth which is depleting available cropland. The limited agricultural base that does exist in Rhode Island is princi- pally made up of dairy livestock and poultry farms, nurseries and greenhouses, field crops, and fruits. The chief field crop in the state is potatoes with a production of 907,000 cwt in 1972 while the .principal fruit crop is apples with a production of 3,200,000 pounds in 1972. ((25:179).) 03-04-04 Manufacturing and the Economy ((25,40)) Agriculture was first replaced by a manufacturing economy, based largely on textiles, and.in recent.years, by a mixed manufac- turing and services economy, in which non-manufacturing employment in Rhode Island now provides more than three-fifths of the jobs avail- able. However, manufacturing remains an important component.of the total economy. Manufacturing has expanded from. textiles into metal trades, jewelry and silverware, rubber products, plastics and electronics. All but one of the twenty-one major manufacturing groups listed in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual are included in the state's' diversified industries. Tobacco products manufacturing is the only industry not represented in the state. 03-04.6 The total average montly employment for manufacturing in 1973 was 124,012, providing almostt 990 million dollars in annual wages. The largest single manufacturing industry in the state is jewelry and silverware manufacturing, employing over 20 ,000 . Rhode Island is the costume jewelry center of the world and home base of Americas leading silversmiths. Companies such as Coro, Bulova, Gorham and Speidel are included in the more than 800 jewelry production and precious metals firms in the state. The next largest industrial classification is textile mill product manufacturing, employing about 6,800. The lar- ger textile factories of the past have been replacedby smaller, spe- cialized plants. Work involving synthetics and fine lace constitutes much of the textile operation in Rhode Island. Although total nonfarm employment for the first 9 months of 1974 was down 1.2 percent from 1973, due in large part to military-civilian cutbacks, the state's total manufucturing employment increased by 1.1 percent. Average weekly hours for production workers continued at the 1973 level of 39.3, while weekly production worker wages for the first 9 months of the year were up 7.5 percent and averaged $141.18. However, long term employment indicators show that manufacturing has dropped to approximately 34 percent of the area's total wage and sala- ry employment, compared to levels of 52 percent in 1939 and 51 percent in 1947. At the same time, service and trade industries have become increasingly important. Losses in manufacturing activity relative to service and trade industries have been offset by the development of a more diversified and thus more stable industrial base. Anticipated continued longer expansion of service and trade industries, in- cluding tourism trade, regional services, and research, should further diversify and stabilize the economic base. Personal income in Rhode Island increased by $2.198 billion in the period from 1-965 to 1973. In 1973 Rhode Island ranked 25th among the 50 states in per capita income ($4,841), according to the U.S. Department of Commerce income data-for that year. The established trend toward industrial decentralization is expected to continue, at least for the short term. This trend is likely in spite of continuing coordinated economic, transportation, natural resources and land development planning programs and poli- cies which encourage more compact urban growth. While urban sprawl may be controlled over the long term, industrial development pres- sures in semi-rural communities surrounding the urban core will in- crease as attractive sites such as those on the new circumferential Interstate Highway I-295 and the surplus Navy land at Quonset Point, become available and vacant land within the urban core disappears. Expansion of the area's economic base, including manufacturing, is particularly important in light of the current recession which has brought the area's unemployment level to 16 percent for the second quarter of 1975. While such expansion is directly dependent upon 03-04.7 national policy in fiscal.*and.energy matters, attempts at the re- gional and.local levels to attract industry will certainly continue. Semi-rural communities with vacant prime indu'strial.land.are likely to encourage industrial investment through zoning, tax incentives and extension of community,facilities, including sewers. Significantly, efforts to regain pre@1973 levels of economic activity in the area are expected to focus industrial development pressure on those same semi-rural communities which-are experiencing the impact of population growth and redistribution.- C(40:8)) 03-04-05 Education' ((25:153)) There are 40 school districts in Rhode Island, including three regional districts, two of which operate regional high schools. This public school system had an average daily attendance in 1973 from kindergarten to 12th grade of 172,582 with a pupil-teache.r ratio of .approximately 16:1. According to the 1970.Census, 46.4percent of,.-,,, ,.Rhode Island's population 25 years and older have completed four :- years of high school or more. General supervision'-and'formulation.,. of policy for this system are the responsibiliti.es of the state Board of Regents. Th ere are six vocational schools operated by local school dis- tricts with state support and one state-operated voc4t1onil school in Rhode Island. In addition, there is one state operated school for theblind and two privately operated schools for the.handicapped. Schools of higher education include three state institutions, :the University of Rhode Island, Rhode Island College, and Rhode Island Junior College. In addition there are eleven private colleges and universities including Brown University, Rhode Island School of De- sign, Bryant College, Roger Williams College, and Providence College. The total enrollment in 1973 for all 14 collegesand universities came to 48,555 including graduate students. 03-.04-06. Media Mass media coverage is achieved through the efforts of the seven dailynewspapers, four television stations, and nineteen radio stations in Rhode Island. Of the seven newspapers, the Evening Bul- letin has the largest daily circulation of about 143,000 while the morning version, the Providence Journal, has a circulation of nearly@ 693,000." The five other daily newspapers have a combinee'@circulation of close.to 88,000. In addition, the largest Sunday newspaper,, the .Providence Sunday Journal, has a circulation of close to 203,000. Three of the four television stations in, Rhode Island provide national network broadcastin'g,while the fourth, WSBE., is a state supported educational station. PART 151- 04 04-01.1 151- 04 OUTDOOR RECREATION, CONSERVATION, AND OPEN SPACE INVENTORY Outdoor recreational.activity in Rhode Islandis dependent upon many factors including the:availability and,accessibility of existing, suitable outdoor recreationalresources. The most signi- ficant of these resources are land and water. In order that Rhode Islanders might enj oy the recreational experience afforded by these resources and their related features, various types of facilities have been developed throughout the state. In most cases these facilities serve the needs of the public by providing access to those areas and sites set aside for recreational use, and the opportunity for parti- cipating in various outd oor recreational activities. Since these sites and areas vary greatly in location, size, and activities served, and.since the total supply of facilities is so vital to.the comprehensive overview of outdoor recreation in Rhode Island, a detailed inventory, identifying all outdoor recreation sites, must be considered an integral part of any plan. The purpose of this part of the plan is to document that inventory. This part'is divided into five chapters. The first chapter identifies those federal, state, local, and private agencies which administer significant recreation resources and activities in Rhode Island. It,als.o notes the levels of re,sponsibility these agencies have in providing outdo Ior recreation opportunities. The second chap- ter contains two sections. One lists, 'in tabular form, the inventory 0f all federal, state, municipal and private outdoor recreation, con- servation and open space lands. This tabulation, identifying the sites with their facilities, is presented for each of'Rhode Island's cities and towns. Plost of this data was supplied by local planning departments, the state Department of Community Affairs, the Soil Con- servation Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and, when neces@ary, by direct contact with various private recreational establish- ments Section two of this chapter presents detailed maps showing the 1@cation of existing outdoor recreation, conservation, and open space facilities. They are mapped on the United States Geological -Survey series of 71-, minute Rhode Island quadrangle sheets, aerial photo revised for 1970 (1:24,000). The third chapter is an inventory identifying all sites in Rhode Island included in the National Regis- ter of Natural Landmarks, and areas eligible for the Register of Natural Historic Landmarks, as well 'as other areas of statewide his- toric significance. Chapter four presents a separate treatment of scenic or historic routes and recreational trails that provide valua- ble recreation opportunities that1would no-t otherwise be included under the standard inventory format. Chapter Five presents an.exa- mination of,public rights-of-way. Separation of these areas from the total inventory is warranted by the special opportunities and problems relevant-to the recreational use of this type of facility. 04-01.2 04-01 ARencies With Recreation Responsibility Historically, governmental agencies at various levels have had theirinfluence on recreation programs in the state. This role has been expanding in recognition of future needs, not only for man's pleasure and enjoyment but also to protect such natural resources as,forests, water courses, wildlife, and unique geologic or natural areas. Outdoor recreation has become primarily a responsibility of .government so that needs can be met in an orderly manner, while com- plementing the necessary protection of natural resources. Various types of recreation facilities required are usually supplied by dif- ferent levels of government, and in some cases, by the private sector. However, the state's role mandates that the full spectrum of recrea- tional demand should be satisfied. In instances'where facilities can- not be adequately provided by other governmental agencies or private orgaiiizations, satisfying this demand becomes the responsibility of state government. There are five sectors which.have the capability and respon- sibility of administering outdoor recreation facilities and programs in Rhode Island. They are the federal, state, regional, local and private jurisdictions. Presented here is a description of the roles and responsibilities-of various agencies within these sectors. 04-01-01 Federal There are five federally owned sites in Rhode Island which are considered areas capable of providing an outdoor recreation.ex- perience (see Table 04-01(l) ). Four wildlife refuges are adminis- tered by the Fish and Wildlife Service of the Department of the In- terior. The Roger Williams National Memorial Park in Providence is also within the Department of Interior's jurisdiction, but it is ad- @ministered by the National Park Service. A. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service With the protection of key wildlife habitats in mind, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service manages four refuges in Rhode Island. As well as conserving the nation's wildlife resources, it provides protection for various land and water areas through the Na- tional Wildlife Refuge system. This is especially relevant to our state, where the Service owns over 245 acres of Rhode Island's envi-' ronmentally significant coastal lands. The Fish and Wildlife Service was established by the Fish and@ Wildlife Act of 1956. Under this act and subsequent acts including the Migratory Treaty, Black Bass, Endangered Species, and Marine Mam- mals Protection Acts, the Service has been assigned major responsibi- lity in Rhode Island for conserving and preserving the coastal estua- rine habitat. As a part of this broad charge, the Service investi- gates and approves water resource development programs and comments 04-01.3 TABLE 04-01(l) RHODE ISLAND'S FEDERALLY OWNED OUTDOOR RECREATION SITES Site Municipality Acreage Block.Island National Wildlife Refuge New Shoreham 27.8 Ninigret Wildlife Refuge Charlestown 27.5 Sachuest Point National Wild- life Refuge Middletown 75.0 Trustom Pond Wildlife Refuge South Kingstown 115.0 Roger Williams National Memo.rial Park Providence 5.0 Source: General Services Administration, June 30, 1973. on the probable impact of such projects on fish and wildlife resources prior to construction or licensing by the federal government. It rec- commends steps for enhancing the environmental conditions of these resources based upon various research studies. It also keeps popu- lation and migration statistics, sets regulations pertaining to water- fowl, and investigates the effect of pollution on fish and wildlife. To.encourage improved and expanded facilities for conservation, hun- ting, and fishing, the Service has the capability of providing federal funds to Rhode Island for acquisition of wetland areas. The four wildlife refuges in Rho de Island pro vide many oppor- tunities for passive recreational enjoyment including swimming, surf-fishing, hiking, wildlife observation, and wildlands appreciation. In addition, these refuges serve to preserve significant and vulner- able wetland areas, sand spits and barrier beaches. At all four sites, the Fish.and Wildlife Service offers the opportunity for con- ducting environmental education and research programs. The Fish and Wildlife Service has.entered into a cooperative management agreement with the Town of New Shorehamfor administra- tion of the Block Island National Wildlife Refuge, and with the Rhode Island Department of Natural Resources for administration of the Ni- nigret Wildlife Refuge. The remaining two, Trustom Pond and Sachuest Point Wildlife Refuge, are managed directly by the Service. 04-01.4 B. National Park Service Historically the Department of the Interior's National Park Service has emphasized preservation and management of scenic and na- tural areas throughout the country. More recently the Service has become involved with preserving and administering areas of historic and cultural significance. One such area is the Roger Williams Na- tional Memorial Park located in the City of-Providence. This memo- rial marks the site of Roger Williams first settlement in Rhode Is- land in 1636. This area achieved further significance in 1930 when ,it was@donated to the City in memory of the first citizen of Jewish faith to be elected to public office in Providence. By the 1965 Act of Congress funds were appropriated to the National Park Service for acquisition and development of the site. With the anticipated acqui- sition to occur, the Park Service, with assistance of the Providence Redevelopment Agency and the Providence Preservation Society,"proceed- ed to draft plans for the park's future preservation and development. These development plans were recently completed, and in Janua- ry, 1975 the Park Service was able to purchase the site from the City of Providence. State, local and private interests ate now an- xiously awaiting the National Park Service's participation in the Roger Williams National Memorial Park's development program. C. Other Agencies, Programs and Responsibilities In addition to the two discussed above, there are other fed- eral agencies that administer various programs under which state, local and quasi-public agencies and private groups may qualify for assistance in outdoor recreation, conservation and open space. This assistance involves credit, cost-sharing, technical aid, educational services, research, training, resource management, and regulation. Table 04-01(2) presents a listing of the federal agencies involved ,in some form of recreationally oriented assistance. The Community @Development Program (Title I of the Housing and.Community Development Act of 1974) is the newest federal vehicle for assistance, but in effect represents a consolidation of previous open space and other programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Devel- opment (HUD). 04-01-02 State ((23,46)) Several state agencies provide resources-and administer pro- grams that play a significant role in furnishing opportunities for outdoor recreational experiences in Rhode Island. Together, these agencies have numerous responsibilities including the acquiring, plan- ning,,developing, and managing of significant land and water resources for recreational purposes. They also strive to protect unique natural 04-01.5 TABLE 04-01(2) FEDERAL PROGRAMS IN OUTDOOR RECREATION BY DEPARTMENT, AGENCY AND FUNCTION ((52:59)) E 17 Depar I ment- Agencies Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service X Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service X Cooperative State Research Service X Economic Research Service.

Presented here is a brief description of the roles and respon- sibilities of those'state agencies which are active in the outdoor recreation, conservation and open space spectrum. A. Department of Natural Resources The Department of Natural Resources has broad responsibility for all of the natural resources of the state and is charged with en- suring their perpetuation, development and utilization. The Depart- men.t operates through eight separate divisions (Agriculture, Boating Safety, Coastal Resources, Enforcement, Fish and Wildlife, Forest Environment, and Parks and Recreation), and is assisted by a seven member Advisory Council. Throughthese divisions the Department car- ries out the statutes and regulations pertaining to the protection of the state's natural resources. ((46:42)) Division of Agriculture: The functions of this agency involve various programs concerned with plant protection, pesticide use, and marketing of agricultural products. This division does not have any activities that are directly related to recreation, conservation and open space. ((46:46)) Division of Boating Safety: This division's primary respon- sibility is for the registration of boats and the inspection of these boats for compliance with safety provisions of the state motorboat laws. This safety inspection is carried out in conjunction.with the U.S. Coast Guard and other-.federal and state agencies. Division of Coastal Resources: This division is concerned with the development and improvement of the state's natural resources, particularly in regard to its navigable waters and coastal zone. In cooperation with federal and local agencies, other state agencies, private concerns, organizations and individuals, it is responsible for effecting such development and improvement in addition to respon- sibility for navigational and shorefront improvement, flood control, shore-erosion control, hurricane protection, and preservation of natural resources. Duties performed by this division, in addition to serving as the staff for the Coastal Resources Management Council and the Rhode Island State Pilotage Commission, concern the operation, maintenance, supervision and rental of such state properties as are under the di- vision's jurisdiction.: these include land, buildings, wharves, piers 04-01.8 and other structures located in Providence, Pawtucket, Narragansett Pier, Tiverton, Galilee and Jerusalem. This division is also res- ponsible for the maintenance of two breachways in Charlestown, one in Westerly and the Mummychaug Ledge Sport Fishing pier on Ocean Drive in Newport. Other services include issuing state assents for construction of waterfront structures and miscellaneous other work in,the tidal waters of this state, consideration of and/or establish- ment of changes in state harbor lines; and investigating complaints of alleged illegal coastal activity. Division of Enforcement: This division enforces the state laws and departmental regulations enacted or promulgated to protect the use of the state's natural resources and to safeguard the health safety, and welfare of those individuals who make use of these resources.. Often this is accomplished.in cooperation with other state or muni- cipal enforcement agencies. It also administers some of the depart- ment's licensing and registration functions, including those for snow mobiles. The division consists of three sections, Marine Patrol, Upland Patrol, and Park Police. The Marine Patrol is responsible for patrolling coastal waters in order to prevent theft and vandalism on boats, enforcing pollution laws concerning. shellfishing in uncertified areas in cooperation with the Department of Health, and enforcing all fishing laws including those for lobster and shellfish. The Upland Patrol enforces all laws and regulations governing hunting, freshwater fishing, boating on the inland fresh and salt ponds, littering, salt marsh encroachment, and forestry and forest fires. The Park Police Section is responsible for maintaining order at public recreation areas and protecting the life and property of individuals using state-owned and operated facilities. The Enforce- -ment Division also maintains a licensing system whereby it issues lobster and shellfish permits, in addition to all other fishing and hunting licenses. ((46:46)) Division of Fish and Wildlife: The duties of this division are varied and involve all facets of wildlife, fresh water fisheries, and salt water fisheries research and management. These include the administration of the Federal Aid to Fisheries Restoration Program, Federal Aid to Wildlife Restoration Program, Commercial Fisheries Act of 1964 (P.L. 88-309), Anadromous Fisheries Program (P.L. 89-304), federal aid cooperative northern lobster program, fish hatcheries, non-federal aid funded fish, wildlif'e and marine fisheries work, the marine maintenance section, the maintenance of public rights-of-way, and information and education functions. The division also operates marine fishery research and management programs including shellfish and finfish surveys in order to make special recommendations for management of finfish and shellfish. 04-01.9 Staff assistance is provided to various federal agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, Department of State, New England River Basins Commission, Environ- mental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Various state agencies including Statewide Planning, the Water Resources Board, the Depart- merits of Health, Transportation, and Economic Development, and the University of Rhode Island avail themselves of the technical expertise within the division. The various municipalities and the private sector are also served by the division staff on request. The Division, with the aid of the Pittman-Robertson and Dingell- Johnson Acts, has purchased approximately 6,000 acres of land for hunting and operates 60 boat launching sites of which 26 were pur- chased. In addition the division is responsible.for wildlife manage- ment on.the Department's holdings of approximately 30,000 acres. Major facets of wildlife research center around waterfowl and mourning dove landing and the aging and uterine research on dead deer. Evaluation of the effectiveness of management programs and their im- provement are a continuing process. 'In the field of fish management, stream enhancement by crea- ting pools by either rough rock dams or with logs or the reclamation of some ponds for certain species is paramount. Tagging, stocking and partial poisoning to determine growth rates and species composi- tion provide the data for management practices. Eight fish ladders have been constructed with more to follow to re-establish anadromous fish populations. The various taggings, surveys and attempted propogrations of various fin and shellfish will lead to better management and there- fore better recreational opportunities in the form of fishing and non- commercial fishing. .One other major function.of the division is the operation of the hunter safety instructors course. This will insure that people entering the woodlands to hunt will handle firearms safely and therefore, by reducing conflicts between landowners and hunters, per- petuate their sport. Division of Forest Environment: This division is responsible and administers programs for the'protection, utilization, management and development of the state's forest resources. It assists other state agencies, local governments, and private landowners in forest related endeavors. To aid in meeting the need for public understand- ing of forest resource values, the division promotes a conservation education program in various schools and camps. Also the division manages nearly 30,000 acres of Rhode Island's forest lands on a mul- tiple-use basis, thus providing recreation and wildlife opportunities. ((23:375)) This division is divided into two sections, Forest Fire Control and Forest Management. 04-01.10 The Forest Fire Control Sectionis responsible for forest fire law enforcement, fire detection, communication, prevention, and sup- pression. The section works cooperatively with the various towns through the supervision of the forest warden system and shares with the towns the costs of forest fire suppression. The section further maintains forest fire suppression equipment for its own use, as well as,supplying the various fire companies throughout the state with forest fire equipment where it can be effectively used.- ((46:47)) The Forest Management Section operates a forest warden system .and shares with the towns the cost of forest fire suppression. It also is responsible for providing forest management information to forest landowners and wood operators to encourage reforestation and better use of our forest resources. ((46:47)) Division of Planning and Development: This Divisionis res- ponsible for the department's land acquisition program, development of ca:pital improvements, and administration of the Inland Wetlands and Dam Safety Acts. It coordinates state and local outdoor recrea- tion, acquisition and development projects which use federal matching funds, and provides public information and education related to natural resourcest protection and use. In cooperation with the Statewide Planning Program, it produces the state's guide plan for recreation, conservation and open space. ((23:379)) The division consists of the Land Acquisition, Engineering, Planning,-and Fresh Water Wetlands Sections. The Land Acquisition Section is responsible for the acquisi- tion and development of all state areas that serve the public through the use of natural resources. Included are parks, beaches, forest and game management areas, unique natural areas, fishing access areas, roadside rest areas having a recreational aspect, scenic overlooks, historic sites, causeways, and harbors and river basins. In the past, many of.these acquisitions were financed by the Green Acres Land Acquisition Act of 1964. The objective of this Act was to aid the state and its cities and towns in acquiring and developing land for open space preservation, recreation, and conservation uses. The program was supported through federal, state and, in some cases, local participation. Initially, the state's contribution was financed by a special bond issue which is now virtually exhausted. However, federal funds ate still available for the state's recreation develop- ment from the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and other federal agencies. In locally spon- sored,projects, the municipalities contribute from 0 to 50 percent of the total project cost. The division's Engineering Section provides engineering and other technical skills which are utilized in planning new projects and developing existing areas for other divisions within the Depart- ment of Natural Resources. All new projects, facilities, construc- tion and improvements that affect the state's natural resources are first evaluated andresearched by this section. 04-01.11 The Planning Section has, as its major function, the develop- ment of the state recreation guide plan. Planning activities are performed with the cooperation and assistance of the Statewide Plan- hing Program. The section also prepares, publishes, and distributes technical documents intended to guide the efficient acquisitiont' development, operation, and maintenance of the state's recreational areas at the state, local, and private levels. The Fresh Water Wetlands Section's responsibility is to in- sure that flood plains,marsh, bogs, swamps and ponds are not 'need- lessly@destroyed. Division of Parks and Recreation: This Division carries out all activities related to the operation, service and maintenance of the state park system, beaches, roadside rest areas and other recrea- tional facilities. To further serve the recreational needs of the pub.li*c, they conduct program's which supplement.community and pri- vate efforts. These recreation areas, facilities and programs serve this need without regard to municipal boundaries. Th e state park system is comprised of 88 areas covering approx- imately 9,900 acres. At all areas in the state with bathing, surf- ing, and skiing facilities, the Division of Parks and Recreation has 'legal responsibility for proper administration and supervision of safety personnel, drowning prevention, lifesaving, first aid and safety equipment. In addition, this division is responsible for the maintenance of certain parkways, historic monuments and historic sites.. ((23:377)) B. Department of Health This department's Divisions of Water Supply and Water Pollu- tion Control have a direct effect on the use of the state's water resources. The Water Pollution Control Division is responsible for regulating and prohibiting pollution of the state's waters. This division maintains a continuous surveillance of state waters and facilities for the prevention of pollution. It is also responsible for the classification of the waters of the state. The basic five level quality classifications for salt and fresh water incorporate the following restrictions: ((46:47,48)) Salt Water Class SA suitable for all sea water uses including shellTi'sh harvest for direct human consumption, bathing, and other water contact sports. Class,SB suitable for bathing, other recreational pur- 17 dustrial cooling and shellfish harvesting for poses, in human consumption after depuration; excellent fish and wildlife habitat; good aesthetic value. 04-01.12 Class SC - suitable for fish, shellfish and wildlife habitat; suitable for recreational. boating and industrial cooling; good aesthetic value. Class SD - suitable for navigation, industrial cooling, and migration of fish; good aesthetic value. Class SE - nuisance; unsuitable for most uses. Fresh Water Class A - suitable for water supply and all other water uses; character uniformly excellent. Class B --suitable for bathing, other recreational purposes, agricultural uses, industrial processes and cooling; excel- lent fish and wildlife habitat; good aesthetic value; ac- ceptable for public water supply with appropriate treatment. Class C - suitable for fish and wildlife habitat, recrea- t-io-n-a-T-boating, and. industrial processes and. cooling; good aesthetic value. Class D - suitable for navigation, power, certain industrial processes and cooling, and migration of fish; good aesthetic value. Class E - nuisance; unsuitable for most uses. The Water Supply Division is responsible for the safety of drinking water supplies. It also provides advice to the public re- garding the construction and operation of private water supplies and is responsible for the licensing and inspection of swimming pools. C. Department of Transportation Within this department are two functional divisions which have a direct relationship to recreation, conservation and open space in Rhode Island. These are the Division of Planning and the Division of Public Works. Planning Division: The division is charged with planning the activities associated with the implementation of short range plans for improvements to existing and proposed transportation' systems. These activities include the pre-planning for proposed highway Sys- tems and an evaluation of their impact on the environment. -It is at this stage where plans for future roadside rests and scenic overlooks, in conjunction with highway projects, are developed. This division also plans to encourage the multiple use of highway rights-of-way to include the development and improvement of bicycle paths and pedes- trian walkways. 04-01.13 Division of Public Works: The major concern of this division is the design and construction of all state roads and bridges. Since these arteries lead to Rhode Island's outdoor recreational and scenic areas,- characteristics of this system greatly affect development of the state's recreational opportunities. Special procedures are employed to assure that highway projects do not indiscriminately disturb the state's natural resources. The Department of Transportation is re- quired to hold public hearings where it presents several altenat.ive corridors in an attempt to find the most desirable route for any pro- posed highway. The Department of Natural Resources is charged with ,evaluating these routes with respect to the potential damage inflicted on the state's recreation, conservation, and open space facilities and areas. A second review is required on the proposed design of new projects. The Department of Natural Resources may again criti- cize the plan if, for example, it believes drainage aspects of the project will seriously alter neighboring water bodie-s and/ormarshes. Lastly, all proposed bridges which span the navigable waters of Rhode Islan*d must receive a permit from the Division of Coastal Resources. D. Department of Community Affairs The Department of Community Affairs was established in 1968 in recognition of the statels.obligation to supply technical and finan- cial aid to its municipalities. This assistance is primarily aimed at enabling communities to effectively plan and conduct physical, economic, and human resource programs for community development. In meeting this responsibility, the Department coordinates relevant activities of the state, other levels of government, and private in- terests, This agency's involvement in resource plann *ing is evidenced by its authority in most aspects of community development. Specific activities include assistance to municipalities in preparing plans for land use, zoning controls, water supply, flood control, parks. Tecreation areas, and conservation of natural resources. The depart- ment promotes the utilization of state resources by local governments and coordinates federal programs in order to aid the municipalities' development of these areas. ((46:49)) The department's Division on Aging plans, promotes, and exe- cutes various programs to meet present and future needs of Rhode Island's older citizens in areas such as transportation, housing, health services, and recreation. ((23:113)) One in particular, the summer recreation program, begun in 1972, provides leisurely outings in the country and at the shore for elderly inner-city residents, plus special groups from Zambarano Hospital, Ladd School, and members of other-senior clubs or organizations. During the summer of 1974, ap- proximately 250 elderly persons per day participated in the program at various sites. For some of these'seniors a day at a program site was their only break from the inner-city or.from their institution all summer. 04-01.14 E. Department of Economic Development This relatively new department studies, investigates, pro- motes and encourages the preservation, expansion and development of industry, business, commerce and tourism in Rhode Island. It compiles and disseminates information related to the natural and economic re- sources of the state including agriculture,.fisheries and recrea- tional facilities. It also encourages the development of new industry, commerce, agriculture and recreational facilities in the state, by pro- services to such group's as the Recreation Build- ing Authority. - Directly relating to outdoor recreation, the Department of Economic Development has a policy of stimulating and increasing the volume of tourist and vacation business in the state by means of grant- ing funds to agencies involved in tourist planning and promotion. Through its Tourist Promotion Division, the department,publishes in- formational brochures on various recreational facilities in the state. F. Executive Department Office of the Governor: Within the Chief Executive's Office a policy review process is being developed to affect the way that decisions are made at the state level by establishing a mechanism through which the Governor will annually formulate and issue a policy statement designed to both inform the General Assembly and the public of his objectives and program for the coming year, and provide direction to the operating agencies of state government which will guide them in carrying out this program. The underlying rationale of the proposal is to strengthen the ability of the Chief Executive to meet the responsibilities which a representative form of government imposes by giving him a means of directing and coordinating the opera- tions of the executive branch toward pre-established objectives which .are derived from the democratic process and which are also consistent with long-term policies. ((94)) Division of Stat e Police: This division has a limited but distinct responsibility for protection of the state's natural re- sources. The State Police in cooperation with the Department of Nat- ural Resources' Division of Enforcement and the U.S. Coast Guard are responsible forenforcing all laws and regulations relevant to the -protection and use of Rhode Island's natural resources. ((46:51)) G. Water Resources Board The Water Resources Board is charged with major responsibility for planning and coordinating all programs for the development of the water resources of the state. In conjunction with this responsibility the Board is required to formulate a long-range plan for the develop- .ment, conservation, and use of water resources. Its powers include the ability to acquire land, to construct water supply facilities, and to review and approve all municipal and private activities in- volved in the distribution of potable water. ((46:50)) 04-01.15 H Statewide Planning Program This agency, within the Department of Administration, is au- thorized to prepare and maintain long-range plans and programs for the state in cooperation with localk federal and other state agencies. The general-problem areas of the Program are the'environment, economic development, conservation and use ofnatu.ral resources, transportation, and public facilities and service. All of these areas have, toa vary- ing degree, a bearing on both current and future recreation opportu- nities, and as 'plans and recommendations are implemented, they undoubt- edly will'ha'Ve a significant effect' on the development of recreational opportunities. With the cooperation of the Department of Natural Resourcest this agency is charged with the responsibility of preparing the out- .door recreation guide plan for Rhode Island.' This plan forms an ele- m'ent' ofthe State Guide Plan. Other Agencies and Commissions The state has.also established a 'number of special agencies and commissions which investigate specific problems that affect out- dbor'.rec.rea'tion opportunities. Rhode Island Historic Preservation Commission: This commission, created by an act of.the general assembly in 1968, is charged with three major areas of responsibility. First is the survey of historic sites in Rhode Island, and from that survey, a documentation of those places of local, state or national significance recommended for in- clusion in the'National Register of Historic Places. Second, it administers a federal grant-in-aid program to assist acquisition and development projects for places on the national register. Third, it also has the responsibility of developing the state historic pre- serva,tion plan to protect areas of archaeological and historical significance and assist in their development. ((23:SO4)) Rhode Island Recreational Building Authority: This five member authority, created in 1965, has the ability to.insure mortgage loans up.to $5,000,000 for purposes of constructing new recreational faci- lities and developing or expanding existing recreational projects in the state. The purpose of the authority is to aid in the promo- tion of tourist related activities such as the construction.or expan- sion of new or existing marinas. Coastal Resources Management Council: This council was esta- blisheid following the passage,of the Coastal. Resources Management Act in 1971. The primary goal of this, management council is to assure proper protection and long range use of the resources of Rhode Island's coastal zone. Its activities are closely coordinated with those of the Statewide Planning Program and the Department of Natural Resources. Staff assistance is provided by the University of Rhode Island's Coastal Resources Center and by,state agencies. 04-01.16 Coastal Resources Center: With the pas sage of the Coastal Re- sources Management Act of 1971, the University of Rhode Island formed the Coastal Resources Center to support the activities of the Coastal Resources Management Council, and to assist the state and its munici- palities in solving their marine resources management problems. Rhode Island Public Rights-of-Way Commission: This commission works closely wi.th the Department of Natural Resources to identify and make recommendations for the use of the public rights-of-way to the shore. The commission was formed to aid in increasing the public's access to.and recreational use of the shoreline. Rhode Island Trail Advisory Committee: In 1972 the Director of the Department of.Natural Resources appointed a Trail Advisory Com- mittee to assist the Department in the development of a program for a statewide trail system. This step was taken in response to -the De- partment's growing concern that Rhode Island does not have an adequate program designed to capitalize on the state's many trail opportunities. The Committee is composed of representatives from three state depart- ments, the Federal Highway Administration, and various trail-oriented user groups. With principal staff assistance provided by the State- wide Planning Program, the Trail Advisory Committee has prepared an advisory report which discusses opportunities and current problems in the establishment of a trail program and recommends actions to correct or temper these problems. This report is further discussed in Part Five of this document. Governor's Environmental Task Force: This was created by then Governor Licht by Executive Order Number 29 of July 1, 1972. Since 1972 this group has been involved in studying the feasibility of combining water.resources and pollution abatement programs into one structure,* and-investigating and recommending solutions to the solid waste management problems of the state. Currently, the Task Force is in the process of studying the state government's entire approach to environ- mental matters with a view towards developing recommendations as to how the necessary regulatory, management and planning can be more effectively integrated. The Statewide Planning Program provides the principal staff and administrative assistance to the Task Force. 04- 01-03 Regional ((11,12,13)) There are several regional public agencies serving the north- east which have the capability of assisting Rhode Island in the management and control of its natural resources. These agencies should be recognized as a valuable level of governmental control in the coor- dination of policies and activities among Now England states. 04-01.17 A. New England River Basins Commission The New England River Basins Commission, encompassing the six New England states and part of New York, was established by the Pre- sident in 1967, under the authority of the Water Resources Planning Act of 1965. It is a federal-state partnership comprised of members from the seven states, ten federal agencies and six regional agencies. The Commission's main function is to assure coordination between the New England states and the federal government in the planning and management of water and related land resources. Their basic program. is thed evelopment of policies and support of regional action programs to meet the immediate resource problems confronting the region, and the formulation of a comprehensive plan to guarantee that decisions and action's are made in context of a long-term coordinated program. To develop these various recommendations and programs, the Commission is charged with undertaking various studies. One such study is the Southeastern New England Water and Re- lated-Land-Resources (SENE) Study. The findings of this study will have major significance to Rhode Island since the program area in- cludes most of the state in addition to nearly all of coastal Massa- chuestts and a portion of Connecticut. The major charges of this study are to identify and recommend actions for providing clean water, open space, adequate water supply, and public access to water resources. It also hopes to assist inreducing flood damages, im- proving fisheries,and providing for optimum utilization of valuable wetlands and existing public lands. Other studies and activities of the commission include the promotion of wise use of flood plains, the protection against poten- tial dangers unsafe dams, and the encouragement of cooperative regional action for management and control of water uality. B. New England Regional Commission This Commission, composed of federal and state, members, was established under Title V of the Public Works and Economic Develop- merit Act of 1965. In addition to promoting the economic and social development of New England, the commission has recently directed its efforts toward assuring a quality environment for the region. The commission also provided research funds for such groups as the New England Natural Resources Center. New England Natural Resources Center This group, concerned with the regions diminishing natural resources, has undertaken the management of a coordinated effort to inventory New England's remaining environmental amenities. The result of this effort, named the New England Natural Areas Project, 04-01.18 was the development of a New England Natural Heritage System. The thrust of this system is the identification, registration and protec- tion of unique natural areas in federal, state, local, and private ownership recognized as regionally significant. This system is main- tained by the New England Heritage Council with cooperation and support of the New England Natural Resources Center. 04-01-04 Local ((6,46)) The municipal sector in Rhode Island has the power to-control its social, economic, and physical development, and has the respon- sibility for providing recreational facilities for the immediate needs of its own residents. In reality each community determines, on the basis'of its needs.and resources, the priorities it will assign to recreation, conservation and open space. The number of dif- ferent types of organizations that deal with outdoor recreation on the local level are too numerous to categorize in this plan. Muni- cipal recreational activity, ranging from planning through operation and maintenance of facilities, relies upon a wide spectrum of respon- sible organizations. Many of the more populated municipalitieshave well structured recreation programs administered by full-tine recrea- tion directors. However, in the more rural and developing communities-, the major burden of providing outdoor recreation facilities falls increa- singly upon local part-time planning boards or commissions, conserva- tion commissions, and the private sector. A graphic representation of the types of local public agencies directly involved in outdoor recreation is provided in Table 01-04(l). Given these widely varying approaches to outdoor recreation. and conservation, there are still some standard methods available to all cities and towns to satisfy the needs of their citizens. A. Zoning Ordinances Probably the most traditional mechanism by which local govern- ments guide physical development is land use regulation through toning ordinances. Rhode Island municipalities have been exercising the powers of zoning and using the concepts of land use planning for many years. Zoning can permit communities to allocate areas for residen- tial, commercial, industrial, or other uses. In addition, it can specify the type and location of recreation facilities, and potential- ly assure the protection of valuable conservation and open space areas. In practice, local zoning ordinances may not always be successful. Pressure from industrial, commercial, or residential developers, coupled with the growing demand for tax revenue which is heavily de- pendent on land use, may permit.other factors to outweigh sound land use policy. Some recent trends in zoning, such as planned unit development and cluster zoning, along with open space zoning, can be extremely 04-01.19 TABLE 04-01(l) RECREATIONAL PLANNING AT THE MUNICIPAL LEVEL Planning Board, or Planning Recreation Conservation Town or City Commission Staffs' Directors2 Commissions Barrington X D X X Bristol X M & D X X Burrillville X D X Central Falls X M Charlestown X D X Coventry X.

It is an effective means for providing open spaces which can both serve neighborhood recreation and conservation needs, and.a.lso enhance the open space character of the area.

Jamestown (Recrea- 10. West Greenwich tion Zone) B. Subdivision Regulations Although not extensively employed up to this time, dedication of open space (or a prorated contribution of funds) as a requirement for the acceptance of a subdivision is justified on the grounds that each subdivider should provide community open space in relation to the demand generated by the development. In addition to dedication, reser- vation of areas through official map procedures can also be us*ed to prevent development of certain parcels for a specified period of time. This enables the. local government to set aside these parcels until such time as funds for acquisition and development become available. C. Easements These types of rights are especially useful in terms of conser- vation, open space preservation, and as a means of providing access- ibility for passive recreational purposes. Their most important advantage is that areas having great open space value can be pre- served for the benefit of the public without a large expenditure of funds. D. Leases It is advantageous for municipalities to avail themselves of the opportunity of entering into long-term leases for the active use of lands under federal, state or private jurisdiction. In order to qualify for federal funds for the development of recreation facili- ties on leased land, a minimum term of 25 years is generally required. 04-01.21 E. Joint Sponsorship in certain communities having accessory recreation facilities under the jurisdiction of the school department there is often a prob- lem of underutilization. Every effort should be made to,make these facilities more available for use by the local residents. A program ofJoint sponsorship, which could serve the school-age population as well as the recreation needs of the general populace, is an extremely useful tool requiring local inter-agency coordination. 04-01-05 Private ((46)) There are many private interest groups on the local, state and national levels which affect the,administration of various outdoor recreation, conservation, and open space opportunities in Rhode Is- land.. Their activities often fill in areas where public action is wanting., and they also can help to shape government policies or pri- orities into closer conformance with the wishes of the general public. .In other instances, they serve as protective mechanisms to ensure that their interests in the state's resources are upheld. The followin g is a partial list of private organizations which have dedicated themselves for various reasons to the enhancement of the state's environment: Broad-Based Interest Groups Audubon Society of Rhode Island Ecology Action for Rhode Island, Inc. League of Women Voters Natural Resources Group Rhode Island Clean Waters Association Rhode Island Historic Preservation Society Rhode Island Environmental Council Rhode Island Association of Conservation Commissioners The Nature Conservancy Save the Bay, Inc. Specific Interest Groups Federated Rhode Island Sportsmen's Clubs, Inc. Narragansett Bay Yachting Association Rhode Island Family Camper's Association Rhode Island League of Anglers Rhode Island Mobile-Sportsfishermen's Association Rhode.Island Party and Charter Boat Association Appalachian Mountain Club Boy Scouts of America Girl Scouts of America Young Men's Christian Association Young Women's Christian Association Narragansett Bay Wheelmen ' Christian Youth Organization 04-02.1 04-02 Outdoor Recreation Facilities Inventory Recreational planning efforts cannot be undertaken without first establishing the foundation of necessary base data upon which effective plan.formulation can be built. In view of the imporrtance of the thoroughness and accuracy of this data, a more comprehensive, coordinated system of data input from federal, state, local and pri- vate agencies 'was instituted. It was felt that past inventories of the supply of recreational facilities in Rhode Island were in need of improvement. This is especially evident for those facilities under private jurisdiction. The system initiated to facilitate the compilation,of data was to require, under terms.of a contract with'the state Department of Natural Resources, that all agencies with local planning responsibilities submit six basic planning elements for inclusion in the State Recreation Guide Plan. One of the most important elements was a complete inven- tory of outdoor recreation, conservation and open space sites to in- clude specific-facilities available that could be quantified for compa- rison v@ith data supplied by various demand sources. Although problems of inconsistency with the data were present, the system did serve to fill in gaps of information on various sites, as well as providing a significant amount of previously unavailable information on privately and municipally owned facilities. In effect, by utilizing input from various federal, state and local agencies it was possible, by process of comparison and investigation, to construct the most accurate and comprehensive statewide outdoor recreational survey to date. This inventory is presented in both tabular and graphic form. All areas are tabulated by municipality and are mapped on the USGS quadrangle series. Both of these inventories are arranged by the following jurisdictions: Federal - Most of the applicable federally owned areas in Rhode Island are utilized for passive recreation such as wildlife refuges and conservation areas. They are designed to provide aesthetic enjoyment to the entire population of the state. There are other large tracts of federally-owned land that have tremendous recreation potential, some of which are no longer needed for federal activities. It is anticipated that the state or local sectors will eventually administer these areas when they are officially surplused. State - There are over 30,000 acres of state owned recreation, conservation, and open space land in R.I. Most of this acreage is in the form of management areas. The state operates multi- use areas (parks and management areas) as well as specific facilities (boat launches, campgrounds, beaches, and roadside groves) which are designed t*o provide recreational opportunl- ties for all residents of the state. Also owned by the state 04-02.2 and included within this inventory are large tracts of school lands which in addition to providing open space, contain devel- oped recreational facilities. The vast maJo.rity of recreational land owned by the state falls under the-juri-sdiction of the Department of Natural Re- sources4 However, there are areas-such as scenic overlooks and state operated schools which are administered by other agencies such as the Department of Transportation and the Board of Regents. Local - The local sector provides the widest range and the greatest number of recreation sites. The sites within this sector are owned and operated by the municipal government. @They include school lands, multi-use parks, playgrounds and other areas of open space and conservation value. This sec- tor generally provides the majority of facilities necessary for organized sports activities whose service area is inherent- ly community oriented. -Some municipalities, however, do contain multi-use facilit,ies that have a regional service area such as large parks. Private - The private sector generally provides for the in- tensive recreational needs of.a specific segment of the popu- lation. Although private facilities do not usually provide a broad range of activities, their value cannot be discounted when considering the total supply of recreational opportuni- ties in Rhode Island. In many instances -they provide oppor- tunities which are beyond the scope and Lpabilities of other jurisdictions. This sectorincludes those, privately owned , facilities that are both commercial and non-profit operations. The only limitations to the service area of these facilities are the specific interests of the clients and the expense in- volved in participation. Each of the above jurisdiction* is designated graphically by its own unique symbol, which appears in both the tabula- tion sheets and mapped inventory, to facilitate ownership identification. 04-02-01 Tabulation Sheets The following index sheets, containing the data accumulated by the inventory of various outdoor recreation opportunities, are arranged alphabetically by city and town * The recreation, conserva- tion or open space sites located in each community are arranged ,alphabetically within each of the four jurisdictions - federal, state, local and private. In addition, a unique quadrangle sheet 04-02.3 identifying number is located in the extreme left column to facili- tate the conjunctive use of the maps with the tabulation slieets. In ,this way the tabulation sheets are useful in locating sites by name, while the quadrangle sheets are best suited for locating sites geo- graphically. The following is a brief explanation.of the data found in each of the remaining columns of the tabulation sheet: Description Every effort was made to use the most common or locally known name to identify each site. In instances where specific facilities were located within larger outdoor recreational sites, even though these specific facilities often held prominence of their own, they were included within the larger area. For example, a fresh water beach, generally known by name, located within a large park or manage- ment area, is tabulated along with all other facilities in that park or area. Acreage Acreage figures are rounded to the nearest tenth of an acre. Sites with an undetermined area have no entry in the acreage column, while those with extremely small areas (i.e. certain marinas and boat ramps) are noted with a dash (-). Only those water bodies that were wholly contained within a site were included in the acreage figure of that site. To maintain consistency, total site acreages were al- ways used, even in the instance where recreational facilities. were located on school or other public building grounds. Acreages of vacant, undeveloped areas interpreted as having conservation or open space value were also included. For those sites which transcend one or more town boundaries, only the acreage within the boundary of each municipality is listed. Game Fields To facilitate the demand data comparisons with the inventory., the game field category includes: 1) basketball and volleyball courts; 2) softball, baseball, football, soccer, and field hockey fields; and 3) other formal playing turfs. Tennis Courts This column lists only outdoor courts. Salt Water Beach Frontage The figure in this column denotes the linear salt water beach frontage in feet. In some instances, this figure was the result of a factor (93.75 foot average depth) applied to the total beach area. In other cases, especially where irregular configurations existed, the linear frontage was derived from aerial photographs. 04-02.4 ...Fresh Water Beach Frontage This figure denotes the linear fresh water beach frontage in feet. An some instances, this figure was the result of a factor (56.25 foot average depth) applied to the total beach area. Where irregular configura,'tions existed, the linear frontage was, in some cases, derived from-aerial photographs. Pool Area 'The figures in this column represent the outdoor swimming pool area (water surface) in square feet. When the only information available was a'description such as "olympic size", a standard of 6,600 square feet was used. Boat Slips This category generally applies to marinas, boatyards, ship- builders, and yacht clubs. It denotes the number of slips and moor- ings at these facilities. The vast majori,ty of slips and moorings are at privately owned, salt water sites. Boat Launch Ramps Thi s column notes the number of fresh or salt water boat launch- ing ramps at each site. Camp Sites The figure in this column is the number of campsites at each facility. In many instances it is a combination of both vehicular and tent sites. Picnic Tables The picnic table data may, in some case s, be an underestimate or completely lacking since, at certain areas, tables are removed during the off-season. Golf Holes This category presents the number of regulation golf holes at each facility. In the case of miniature golf courses and driving or practice ranges the number of holes or positions are noted in parentheses and not included in the totals.. Horse Trail Miles This is the length of trails at each site for horseback riding, given in,miles. In..some cases the trails are not totally within the 04-02.5 facility named, but are in close proximity and are considered avail- able for riding. 'Hiking Trail Miles This is the length of established hiking trails available at various sites, given in miles. 0; @o 0:,c c Z; @o Z: @p -4 CAP. c i s i s i it 's el In v to a it V. ;Lr,-n Zr 'c.- @rlzt & cz rlu un L@I- ru -4@ OD n 0 M W; too "L I 1 .941.

Interpre- tation of the use of historic districts for outdoor recreation can lead to a false indication of recreation facility adequacy for an area even though some areas which are designated as historic districts also qualify as outdoor recreation facilities tinder the standard cri- teria (i.e. Roger Williams Park in Providence). Because of this prob- lem, a separate inventory of all historic areas is considered the best solution, keeping in mind that those areas which make some formal at- tempt to provide facilities or foster recreational use will also qua- lify for entry in the inventory under the more standard criteria. This list corresponds with the most current listing of historic pro- perties entered on the National Register of Historic Places, as pub@ lished by the Rhode Island Historical Preservation Commission.

The survey is presented in the form of a composite map (see Figure 04-04(l) ) accompanied by a brief description of each of the various routes and trails in Rhode Island. They have been categorized as 1) Recreational Trails, and 2) Scenic and Historic Routes. 1) Recreational Trails These trails occur predominantly within the system of state parks and management areas, and accommodate hikers, horseback riders, trail bike riders, and snowmobilers. Most of these trail networks, shown in red on the composite map, are readily accessible by auto- mobile. They are located generally in western rural Rhode Island and usually entertain year-round use.. y Diamond Hill (Map Reference A) 373 acre Diamond Hill Park in Cumberland has approximately 1 mile of formal hiking trails in addition to its skiing, picnic and game field areas. Lincoln Woods (Map Reference B) Lincoln Woods, a 687 acre multi-purpose state park in Lincoln, has 7.5 miles of recreational hiking trails. The numerous stables surrounding the park offer opportunities to utilize the additional 7.5 miles of horseback riding trails. George Washingto n/Pulaski Area fflap Reference C) George Washington Management Ar "ea and Casimir Pulaski Memo- rial State Park, contiguous state properties within Burrillville and Glocester in the northwestern part of Rhode Island, provide over 14 miles of hiking trails through attractive wild areas. Included in this system is the Walkabout Trail, a circuit of about 8 miles in length, which was origi .nally cut and blazed by a group of Australian sailors in the summerof 196S while they were waiting for work to be completed on their ship, H.M.. A.S. Perth. ((56:384)) Trestle Trail (14ap Reference D) The Trestle Trail is an 8 mile abandoned railroad right-of-way which has been developed into a year-round multi-use trail. It stretches from Stump Pond in central Coventry west to the Connecticut border. The State leases this trail from the Narragansett Electric Company which acquired this abandoned stretch from the New Haven Railroad in 1970. 04-04.2 Arcadia/Beach Pond (Map Reference E) The Arcadia State Management Area, Beach Pond State Park, and adjacent lands provide a multi-use trail network close to 100 miles. in length. The system has been designed for use throughout the entire year. Hiking trails include the Yellow Dot or Breakheart Trail which has been in existence for about fifty years, plus a network of white blazed trails of a more recent period. The system of horse trails makes extensive use of the many miles of gravel roads, and is cen- tered on the recently established Horse Bivouac Area in Escoheag. Also within the immediate area is a loop of about 60 miles for use by recreational vehicles. Great Swamp (Map Reference F) Within the Great Swamp @.-Tanagement Area there are approximately 10 miles of hiking trails which traverse the area of the historic Great Swamp Fight, a conflict which took place in 167S during King Philips War. Kimball Bird Sanctuary (1-Jap Reference G) Within this 30 acre sanctuary in Charlestown are about 2 miles of'walking trails for the enjoyment of wildlife observation and pho- tography. 2) Scenic and.Historic Routes These routes, denoted in red on the composite map, are gen- erally accessible to automobile travel. They make up a system of scenic roadways connecting various historic villages and towns around Narragansett Bay. Onceat these villages and towns, it is possible to leave the automobile and stroll along picturesque streets, viewing historic sites and structures. Where possible, maps have been devel- oped to accompany the brief descriptions of the historic areas. These show the walking or driving route that would provide the best view of.various points of interest. New England Heritage Trai 1 (Map Peference #1) Rhode Island's section of the New England Heritage Trail stretches from Westerly to Providence and Little Compton. It passes, or is located near, most of the state's historic and scenic attrac- tions, recreation and resort areas, beaches, sa.1t marshes and bird sanctuaries, Indian monuments, and by the Atlantic Ocean and Natra- gansett Bay.

From Newport the Trail continues northward on Rte. 138, pick- ing up Rte. 24 to Tiverton, then southward through Little Compton to Sakonnet Point. Journey-Cake Way (Map Reference #2) The North Kingstown Historic Trail is named for the Rhode Island Jonny-Cake, which was originally called Journey-Cake. In early days, stage coach travelers checking out of various inns in lVickford @nd surrounding villages were given Jonny-Cakes to take along on their journey. This trail winds its way through historic villages such as Saunders-town, Allenton, Hamilton, Lafayette, and Wickford bringing the traveller into contact with historic birthplaces, farns, churches, and museums. 04-04.4 Wickford (114ap Reference #3 and Figure 04-04(2) Visually one of the most outstanding villages in Rhode Island, Wickford presents, in much of its original context of wide streets and flat waterside terrain, the aspect of a late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century town. Its character is generally dc- rived from the line formed by the many two-stoTy, gable-roofed wooden houses set along the street. Asense of variety is gained from an occasional gambrel roofed house and.other buildings dating from the Greek Revival. The public waterfront and com mercial buildings have adjusted well to this village's character. Figure 04-04(2) WICKFORD LEGEND HERITAGE TRAIL 141STORIC DISTRTCT SCALE rS C NIX _6 to> r-ows.

Pawtuxet today is a self-contained community with a strong sense of its his- tory. It reflects three major themes in Rhode Island development, sea-trade, the textile industry, and recreation. Plany interesting buildings still remain on either side of the cove. These buildings are generally small, gable-roofed, wooden structures sited close to the road on small lots, creating cohesive neighborhoods.

PART 151- 05 05-01.1 151-05 THE NEED FOR OUTDOOR RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES The purpose of this part of the Guide Plan is to describe various methodologies employed in the development of specific demand data, and to relate this demand. to the available supply of recrea-, tional facilities summarized in the Inventory Part of this document. Also, utilizing various factors affecting recreational participation, forecasting models for specific activities, requiring additional faci.- lities, have been generated to show future needs. In addition to findings based upon specific survey data, areas of special needs and/or problems have been identified and examined resulting in recommendations for further actions. 05-01 summary of Survey Methodologies One of the most significant elements of effective recreation, conservation and open space planning is an understanding of present and future.use of resources and the capability of resources to sus- tain such use. This analysis has been given many names: demand study, statement of needs, use estimates. Indeed the methods used in conducting such studies aye Tnore varied than the titles. The Tea- son for this variety of methodologies is well known to recreation plan- ners:. no methodology has successfully accounted for all the factors @hich affect the recreational choices of population. The situation is further complicated by the methods traditionally used to determine need, namely determining the carrying capacity of siipply and then con- paring that capacity to the calculated demand estimates. There are significant problems with this approach. Is the calculated estimate of demand for the entire season, for an average day, or for a peak day? Is the standard used to calculate carrying capacity realistic? In some cases these questions can be logically answered. In other cases ' many variables make it difficult to derive a universally accept- able solution. Even the determination.of accurate supply data is complicated by many factors. How does one define the supply for sightseeing or bird watching? Such recreational activities defy any type of quan- tification. It is virtually impossible to designate physica.l. facili- ties to meet the needs of these types of activities since they can and do occur over a wide range of locations. To date there is no universally accepted method of estimating present demand or predicting future demand. There also is no univer- sally accepted method of determining recreational needs from demand estimates. This plan studies demand in ways that are similar to past studies and some in ways that are different, but can be statistically substantiated. The demand section here attempts to utilize those as- pects of previous demand studies which have been most successful as functional planning tools. Where sophisticated quantification of both use and supply is felt to be a functional planning tool, it is utilized. Where more qualitative descriptions are felt to be most 05-01.2 practical, they are utilized.. Howev er, there is one comnon t'heme recurring throughout this analysis: recreational behavior and re- creational needs are a function of many factors. It is not sufficient to simply estimate use, determine capacitie.s, and infer need. One ' must consider as many social and economic factors as possible to effective- ly understand recreational behavior and recreational needs. Demand and use estimates must be compared not only to supply, but also to socio- economic characteristics of the participant. In order to gain the ne- cessary data base to undertake such analysis, the Rhode Island Depart- ment of Natural Resources contracted with the University of Rhode Island to design and conduct surveys of the Rhode Island population. Three surveys were designed and conducted. The following is a brief description of each: 05-01-01 Diary Survey Information is required to support the hypothesis that recrea- tional demand and use, just like any other social activity, is a func- tion of the socio-economic characteristics of the participant and the existing supply of the areas or facilities needed. Information of this type. is usually generated through the sur- vey questionnaire technique. For the purposes of this study, a variety of survey types were considered: a home interview survey, a telephone survey, a mailed questionnaire survey, and a diary survey. Tradi- tionally, one of the first three techniques is utilized in recrea- tional demand analysis.- The' diary survey, a form of a mailed question- naire, where the respondent is not asked to recall his participation but to simply record his recreationalact-ivities on a daily basis, was chosen for this study over other techniques for the following reasons: Respondents record their activities as they perform them, thereby greatly reducing the error introduced when asking a respondent to recall his activities for the past year. A higher response rate than the mailed questionnaire (50-7S percent as compared to less than 30 percent) is usually obtained. It is less expensive than the home interview survey and highly competitive with the telephone and mailed questionnaire survey. The diary survey also offers a great degree of accuracy espe- cially.when one wishes to make observations of specific activity over time, as is the case with recreational participation. Although in the past, the diary survey has.nevey been used to determine recrea- tion participation, its accuracy, combined with reasonable cost, make it ideally suited for this purpose. 05-01.3 Sample selection was the responsibility of a consulting firm engaged to administer the survey. The consultant agreed to.sel'ect a sample which would produce 1,000 useable q'uestionnaires for each period of the survey. To accomplish-this, the consultant recruited a sample of 2,000 households, anticipating a minimum response of 50 percent. Apanel of 700 households had been previously engaged by the consultant for use in national surveys. This panel had been selected and balanced to meet the income and age characteristics of the population as shown by the 1970 census. The remaining 1,300 households were selected at random from a comprehensive telephone directory for the state of Rhode Island. In order to effectively d. evelop and administer the survey, the Department of Natural Resources and the University of Rhode Island con- tracted with a firm that specializes in diary surveys. It should be emphasized that the role of the consultant in this study was to choose the sample, assist in the development of the questionnaire format, print and mail the questionnaire, encourage response, and code and punch the data. The consultant had no analytical responsibility, but only provided hard, clean data for a representative sample of the Rhode Island population. Such an arrangement has the advantages of minimizing consultant costs, freeing state agencies from performing 10 the rote details of survey administration (for which they are not adequately equipped), and insuring that the analysis of the data is performed by the responsible recreation planner, not a dissassociated consultant. As a result, the survey was professionally administered and the data was responsibly analyzed. The diary survey asked for a record of the household's single and multiple day recreation trips and an inventory of their recrea- tional goods. As a result the following information was generated: 1. Quantity of participation by age group and by activity. 2. Whether each trip took place in Rhode Island or outside the state. 3. Expenditures incurred during the trip. 4. Wages (if any) forfeited to engage in this recreational trip.. S. Distance travelled.- 6. Means of travel. 7. The location of the recreational experience. 'A 05-01.4 In addition to the recreation activity information, the follow- ing was determined about the nature of the household surveyed: 1. Ownership of summer horie, its value, when purchased,, loca- tion, and amount of use. 2. Comprehensive inventory of recreation goods related to the activities surveyed. by the questionnnaire. 3. Membership in any of seven types of recreational clubs and the cost of such membership. 4. Home ownership and car ownership. 5. Age distribution of the household. 6. Education'of head of the household. 7. Total annual income. 8. Occupation. 9. Whether or not participation would occur in any of 18 activities, if facilities were less crowded. The diary was conducted for five monthly periods so as to obtain information for all recreation activities covering the four seasons. The time periods selected were: 1. July 1 to July 31, 1.974 2. August 1 to August 31, 1974 3. October 15 to November 15, 1974 4. January 15 to February 15, 1975 5 April 1 to April 30, 1975 Presently, final demand data are available only for the summer activity months, but the same procedures and models will 'be applied to the other recreation seasons to determine demand for other activities. 05-01-02 On-Site Recreational Survey In order to make estimates about the quantity and nature of out-of-state participation, it was necessary to conduct astudy of out- of-state use during the summer of 1974. 05-01.5 The major difficulty was arriving at a sample. In theory, the universe is all non-Rhode Island,residents who recreate in Rhode Island. The most comprehensive method to handle this universe would be to con- duct a cordon study, that is, to man every roadway leading into the state and stop and interview the drivers of out-of-state vehicles. Such a method is obviously costly and impractical. An alternative method was to select a sample of recreation sites in the state, count and interview the out-of-state users of these sites, and finally pro- ject these data to the universe of out-of,-state users. Such a method, although perhaps not as statistically comprehensive as a cordon study, offers satisfactory accuracy at,moderate cost. In order to effectively choose a sample, it was necess ary to de- fine a universe of useable pu 'blic recreation areas. The areas were selected and grouped in the following categories: Category 1 a. State Beaches b. Municipal Beaches C. Private Beaches (open to the public) Catego ry 2 a. State'Parks and Campgrounds (greater than 1 10 acres) b. Municipal P arks (greater than 10 acres) Category 3 a. State and Municipal Boat Launch Sites Category 4 a. State Parks (less than 10 acres) b. Municipal Parks (less than 10 acres) C. State RoadsideRests The staff arbitrarily decided that three beaches would be chosen from Category 1, five parks from Category 2, two boat launch sites from Category 3 and two areas from Category 4. Beaches were weighted accord- ing to beach area, while parks were weighted'according to total area. Categories 3 and 4 were not weighted because of their small size. Ele- ments of the universe were numbered consecutively and a sample was chosen using a table of random numbers. The following were selected by this method for the On-Site Survey. The general location of each site (as numbered) is shown on 05-01.6 a state map in Figure 05-01(l). Beaches 1 Dunes Park Westerly 2 Sand Hill Cove - Narragansett 3 Second Beach - Middletown Parks and Campgrounds 4 Burlingame Charlestown 5 Colt Park Bristol 6 Goddard Park - Warwick 7 Pulaski Park - Burrillville 8 Veteran's Park - Pawtucket .Boat Launch Sites 9 Galilee Boat Launch - Narragansett 10 Third Beach Boat Launch - Middletown Roadside Rests 11 Lehigh Hill - Portsmouth 12 Shady Lea - North Kingstown Ten part-time summer employees were hired by the Division of Planning and Development of the Department of Natural Resources to con- duct the survey. The actual survey was conducted from July 18 through August 14. One to five persons were assigned to an individual site. Counters were stationed at all entrances while interviewers systematic- ally moved through the site, usually identifying out-of-state parties by vehicle license plate. At beaches, interviewers moved through the area, simply asking various parties their state of residence. As in the Diary Survey, determining quantity of participation was the primary task of this survey. For this reason, a control sheet was used to record 1) the number of cars and persons entering the faci- lity per hour by state, and 2) the weather conditions by hour. In addition to the basic quantity of use information, a survey was administered to out-of-state users. The purpose of this survey was to develop.data similar' to the type of information generated by the diary survey including the following: 1. Residence of t he user. 2. Composition of the group. 3. Age distribution. 4. Primary purpose of the visit. 5. Length of stay in Rhode Island. 6. Type of accommodations. 7. Record of expenditures. 8. Occupation and unemployment.

I The information generated by the On-Site Survey was primarily_ used to supplement the information developed in the Diary Survey, es pecially as this data applies to accessibility/distribution, site qua lity, and user income levels. 05-01-03 Site Quality and Willingness to Pay Survey In order to build an effective econometric model, it was nec- essary to add to the data base information concerning the subjective preferences of users. Of particular interest was the user's perception of the quality of particular recreation sites, how far the user was willing to travel to use that site, and what he was willing to pay under certain conditions of crowding. It was assumed that crowding is one of the more significant variables.detracting from the recrea- tional experience. Data collection was accomplished utilizing procedures similar to those employed in the On-Site Survey with two basic changes: 1) both entrances and exits were counted, and 2) any user at the facility was interviewed. The only criteria considered in the site selection was obtaining a reasonable mix of state, municipal, and private facilities. The following areas were selected. Their location as numbered is indi- cated on a state map (Figure 05-01(2)).' 1. Burlingame State Park - Charlestown 2. Fishermen's Memorial Campground - Narragansett 3. George Washington Campground - Burrillville 4. Fort Getty Campground - Jamestown 5. Dunes Park - Westerly 6. Misquamicut State Beach - Westerly 7. Moonstone Beach - South Kingstown' 8. Sand Hill Cove Beach - Narragansett 9. Scarborough State Beach - Narragansett The survey is designed to generate the same basic set of socio- economic data as the diary and on-site surveys. In addition, the survey provides the following information: 1. The actual fee paid by the user. 2. The maximum fee that might be paid by the user. 3. The fee that might be paid by the user if the crowd were doubled and if the crowd were halved. 4. Distance traveled and time of travel. 5. Length of stay. 6. Preference for other facilities, 7. Frequency of visits. 8. Preference for outdoor recreationactivities.

Therefore, a Phase I analysis designed to yield useful information on the highest number of recreational activities was pro- grammed and completed. Phase I analysis essentially treats summer outdoor recreation activities as they relate to five broad categories: quantity of participation, socio-economic characteristics, non-resi- dent use, supply, and forecasts. OS-02-01. Quantity of Participation' Many measures have been used to define this fundamental dimension of analysis. Such terms as activity days, person occasions, peak days, days per person, days per participant, etc. are-not unknown to the recreation planner. Part of the analysis requires that some measures of activity must be compared to some measure of supply. In order to plan for the optimum recreation experience, it was decided that faci- lities,should be provided for the "average peak day". In a quantita- tive sense, the "average peak day" for Phase I analysis will be com- puted as the,level of use for a particular activity on the average of.the highest five days in July. This is also commonly referred to as the "design day" * As a functional planning tool, the "design day" figure indicates the amount of supply needed to satisfy all of the people most of the time. Indeed, there will be peak occa- sions when the level of use cannot be satisfied. However, the benefit achieved by providing the necessary facilities to meet the peak day load is not normally justified by the increased cost for providing such faci- lities. New York's forecast of outdoor 'recreation provides an excellent description of the "design day" concept: Annual participation estimates are not directly relevant for predicting capacity needs. Facilities.should not be designed ,to accommodate the few absolute peak day loads that occur each season, but they should provide a reasonable level of service on at least some of the more popular days. Given the changes in climate and the temporal patterns imposed by school and work, total annual use divided by 365 days yields a surperfluous statistic. The appropriate day for use as the basis..fot designing an optimal recreation system or evaluating the adequacy of an existing system (the "design day") varies across activity groups. In most cases, the average peak season weekend day,. or the tenth highest day, has proven to be a dependable es- timate of the design day. ((14:36)),, The diary survey provides a ready mechanism for calculating de- sign days. All activities were recorded by the sample on each day for 05-02.2 a one month period. (Five months were surveyed in the study; however this first phase of analysis uses only the month of July.) Total par- ticipation can then be calculated for the entire month and for highest five days for those activities which normally take place during that month. There is a problem with utilizing data for only the month of July. -This restricts the analysis to summertime activities which tend to peak during July, such.as swimming, tennis, boating, golf, etc. Hunting, skiing and fresh water fishing cannot be analyzed fairly using July data. However, four other months throughout the year have been surveyed, thereby providing significant data for other types of outdoor recreation activity. Future updating of the Recreation Guide Plan will include an analysis of this data. 05-02-02 Socio-Economic Characteristics In addition to the quantity of participation, there is a wide range of other factors which affect recreation planning policy. The surveys conducted in Rhode Island attempted.to measure a variety of these characteristics. Phase I analysis treats five characteristics specifically: a Ige, income, automobile ownership, education, and dis- tance traveled. These variables were chosen, a priori, as ones which appear to have the greatest effect upon recreation participation. Quantitative relationships between elements of each characteristic and quantity of participation have been developed. These relation- ships expose a profile of the recreating population which has signifi- cant bearing on planning policy. 05-02-03 Non-Resident Recreational Activity There have always been strong convictions by many Rhode Is- landers that certain recreation areas in the state are heavily used by out-of-state residents. For example, traffic studies done during the middle 60's indicated that over 90 percent of the use at Misquamicut State Beach was by out-of-state residents. However, no studies have been done to determine the amount of use by out-of-state -residents of spe- cific recreation facilities on a comprehensive, statewide basis. As previously mentioned, an intensive study of 12 randomly selected recrea- ion areas.was performed during the summer of 1974 in order to estimate the quantity of non-resident use in Rhode Island for as many recrea- t* tional activities as possible. In addition to these data, information from the 1972 external cordon study done by the Rhode Island Department of Transportation was used to supplement and corroborate the on-site survey data. It must be emphasized that estimates of recreation activity by non-residents in Rhode Is.land on a statewide basis is not fully statistically reliable. However, the studies do provide sufficient evidence to make rea s onable arguments as to the relative quantity of use for different activities by non-residents. 05-02 .3 05-02-04 Supply A statement of need for every particular activity cannot be made unless supply is thoroughly examined and compared to a use estimate. One of the most significant elements of outdoor recreation planning is the completion of an accurate inventory. The inventory units for a particular activity, where possible, are converted to person capacities so that demand and supply may be effectively compared. To accomplish this, a series of standards and turnover rates have been adopted in order to make this conversion. Standards and turnover rates were de- rived from a variety of sources, the primary criterion being that the standard reflect the optimum recreational situation. For example, tennis court capacities were computed utilizing a standard of 2.5 persons/court and a turnover rate of 3/day. It could be argued that a tennis court could serve 4 persons and turns over more than 3 times per day. However, this plan strives for the optimum situation; there- fore, more'conservative standards were instituted. Obviously, there are activities such as bird watching or sight- seeing where detailed quantitative measures of supply are impractical and meaningless. For these activities a more qualitative discussion of supply is most useful. The location of supply also has a direct bearing on recreation- al need. Indeed, use is often distributed over supply unevenly so that ,one may find individual areas which are overcrowded, but in fact have a surplus of supply on a statewide basis. Although this edition of the Recreation Guide Plan does not present a sophisticated di 'stribu- tion model it does present the problem of supply location in as spe- cific terms as possible. Also, the quality of supply must be considered. One may note a statewide swimming capacity for 100,000 persons, but indeed some beaches may be used little or not.at all because of poor quality, access, or other factors. This, of course, must receive some atten- tion in any analysis of supply. 05-02-05 Forecasts Forecasting recreational use is the most critical and fundamental aspect of recreational planning. Forecasts, in the past, have been made using a variety of methodologies. Trend analysis projections assume that future activity will increase or decrease as it has in the past. Other methods assume that participation increases or decreases with the size of the population. Still others relate recreation participation to economic growth. It remains the major contention of this plan that present and future participation is a function of many variables and that recreational participation forecasts should be dependent on these variables. In this Phase I analysis, an econometric regressi.on model 05-02.4 has been developed which forecasts participation as a function of sev- eral pre-determinedvariables. These variables areincome, education, and automobile ownership. It should be noted that no forecast.is perfect. The forecasting model utilized in the report should be continually refined and improved. The present model in no way accounts for all the factors, but the variables chosen are believed to be among the most significant influ- ences on recreational behavior. 05-03.1 05-03 Demand Survey Results Some general conclusions can be drawn from the preliminary eva- luations of the statewide demand data. a. of the 15 activities measured, the five most popular per- formed by Rhode Islanders in Rhode Island by order of popularity are: 1. Saltwater swimming 2. Freshwater swimming 3. Picnicking 4. Sightseeing 5. Boating Figure 05-03(l) graphically depicts the relative popularity of all acti- vities measured by "monthly activity days." An activity day is defined asone person participating in a particular activity on one day. Ib. Household income limits level of participation in the acti- vities measured. This is principally explained by costs of participa- tion, lack of open space in urban areas,.and the reduced access by the urban poor to rural recreation areas. c. Accessibility is a principal factor which affects level of participation. Car ownership statistics reveal that persons owning no car or one car participate less than families owning two or more cars. Although this factor can be directly related to income in some instances, there are many middle income familiies who own only one car. d. For typical day use. activitie's, persons will generally travel to the closest available supply. This is an important concept because it implies that there is overcrowding of facilities in and around population centers. e. A simple demand distribution model demonstrates that faci- lities in some urban regions are likely to experience overcrowding. The facilities most needed in these areas are for freshwater swimming, tennis and picnicking. f. It is suspected that for many activities, demand is unevenly distributed due to not only the location of supply, but also the qua- lity of facilities and the fees charged to participate at these facili- ties. g. Non-resident use affects the adequacy of supply for certain activities. Studies show that the majority of non-resident use occurs in camping (61 percent of the total demand) and salt water swimming (29 percent of the total). Although quantitative measures are diffi- cult to apply, sightseeing is suspected to be third. h. With the exception of tennis and picnicking there is a sur- plus of supply on a statewide basis for the activities analyzed.

That saltwater.s.Wimning'is-the most popular 'activity, is. entirely understandable when one considers that over 22 miles of beaches are available in Rhode-I.sland. Picnicking is still a very popular weekend activity enjoyed by .-many in Rhode Island. Fresh water swimming is the third most popular activity in terms of "design day" estimates, fol- lowed by sightseeingand b,oating.of all types. Outdoor games (i.e. vol- leyball, basketball,,f,o.otbal.-l,.soc.ce'r),, salt water fishing,', tennis, golfing, and camping complete the eight most popular activities. There are ten activities where supply capacities could be measured. Except for picnicking and tennis, every activity showed a significant surplus of supply over the design day estimate. In the case of picnicking the deficit is not entirely accurate as a good deal of picnicking takes place at homes, open fields, etc. where picnic tables are not required. The only real supply deficit in the state is in tennis where the surge in popularity of the sport has generally ex- ceeded the ability to provide the needed courts. On a statewide basis, every other activity has more than enough supply to satisfy the ex ing demand. The figures below summarize the demand/supply comparisons: Activity Design Day Supply Capacity Salt water swimming 91,854 persons 173,288 persons Picnicking 57,653 32,047 it Fresh water swimming 50,094 53,792 Boating (slips and ramps) 19,848 46,471 Camping 15,886 17,104 Tennis 5,523 3,968 Outdoor Games 8,551 23,060 Golf 4,604 11 328 it 2 Horseback Riding 2,569 11,940, Hiking 3,620 17,847, It would be @implistic and unreasonable to.infer that most recreation opportunities are satisfied simply on the basis.of statewide supply versus statewide demand. In reality, there are several other key areas of analysis which have significant bearing on recreation planning policy. 05-03-02 Primary Variables in Phase I Analysis. The,Rhodo Is-land recreation "studies of 1974-75 developed three factors which have some bearing on the -recreational opportunities of the population: 1) income restriction, 2) accessibility restrictions, and 3) demand/supply distribution.

Income Restrictions In many instances income restricts the capability of a family to participate in recreational activities. Income should be treated in any discussion of recreational need because it is the most meaning- ful measure of participation by socio-economic class. The effect of income on rec reation opportunity is graphically illustrated in Figure 05-03(2). In every activity, participation gen- ,erally increases with household income. In some activities, the in- crease is more pronounced than.in others. High cost activities such as golf and boating demonstrate very strong income relationships. How- ever, those activities such as picnicking, swimming and fishing which were often thought to be predominately low income activities exhibit a similar participation increase to income ratio. There was not one activity where the "under $5,000" households participated more than the $9 - 15,000 middle income group. There are many explanations for this phenomenon, but it is most accurate to say a combination of factors account for this situation. Cost of participating: This is the first and most obvious ex- planation. The price of a boat, the cost of a country club membership, or the purchase price of bicycles are often times beyond the budget of many low income groups. This can be corroborated statistically. The diary survey inventoried the stock of recreation goods and showed that only 25 percent of households which earned under $5,000 claimed owner- ship of a bicycle while nearly 75 percent of the households earning over $13,000 claimed ownership of a bicycle. Lack of open space in urban areas: A large percentage of the poor live in densely populated urban areas. In areas of high popula- tion density there is little opportunity to engage in traditional out- door'recreation activities simply because there is no space to perform them. Lack of accessibility: Accessibility to open space outside the urban community by low income groups is also restricted because of their lower rate of automobile ownership. Average automobile owner- ship by low income households is only 1.03 cars per family compared to nearly 1.8 for the entire population. There is also very little mass transit available to open space areas outside the urban area. As will be fully examined. in the next section, quantity of participa- tion is strongly related to automobile ownership and for low income groups their lack of transportation capability accounts in large mea sure for their lack of participation.'

Accessibility Restrictions The capability of the population to travel to areas for recrea- tional pursuits is important in determining the recreational opportuni- ties available to the population. One measure of accessibility is car ownership. Figure 05-03(3) indicates the relationship of auto ownership to participation. It is important to note that in every activity (except for fresh water swimming) participation increased with automobile owner- ship. For example, only 10 percent of the households not owning a car participated in picnicking, compared to 36 percent of the households owning two or more cars. It is a fact that car ownership relates strongly to income and, as noted in the previous section, low automobile ownership by the poor may well explain their lack of participation in certain activities. However, accessibility restrictions as explained by car ownership data also extend to middle income groups. Over 40 percent of the households earning between $9,000 and $15,000 own only one car. As demonstrated in Figure 05-03(3), one-car families participated less than two-car families, indicating that accessibility restrictions of participation extend even to'middle income groups. To summarize, relating participa- tion to automobile ownership indicates that recreational participation is partly a function of accessibility. The "distance traveled" data (see Figure 05-03(4) ) illustrates the round trip distance persons travel to participate in particular activi- ties. This information,is useful in determining if supply is properly located with relation to the geographic distribution of demand. The peaking of activity in the 0-9 mile round trip category for many of the typical day use activities indicates that facilities located near popu- lation centers may be overcrowded. There are many reasons which affect how far one will travel to participate in a particular activity: the duration of the activity, the location of supply, the transportation capabilities of the participant, etc. Camping, birdwatching, hiking, and sightseeing are long distance activities. The chief reason for this is that enjoyment of the activity is either generally enhanced by long distance-traveling or by the fact that most activity days occur as part of multiple day vacation trips. The remaining activities show a marked tendency towards short distance. traveling. Figure.05-03(4) also indicates that persons will not only tend to'travel shorter distances to participate but will participate more often when the supply is closer. This may be stating the obvious but it is-. an important point to keep in mind when discussing the problem of demand/supply distribution. If supply is distributed long distances from the population, and if accessibility restricts participation,,and ,if persons tend to travel shorter distances because of lack of transpor- tation or simply because they don't want to, there could very well be overcrowding of many facilities even though there may be a surplus,of supply on a statewide basis.

Demand/Supply Distribution There are several factors which affect the'distribution of derpand over the available supply. Some have already been discussed, namely accessibility as measured by automobile ownership and distance traveled patterns. Other issues have been irnplied and will be presented more fully in this section. These are the relative location of supply and demand, the quality of certain facilities, and the restrictions on use imposed by certain private facilities. In order to-'analyze the distribution of demand, a simple dis- tribution model has been developed. Basically, it estimates "design day",loads within each of the seven regions in the state for five typi- cal day use activities. Regions were selected according to physical boundaries and population densities. They also can be correlated to a large degree with the'previous "Recreation Systems" employed in the 1971'Recreation Guide Plan (1-letropolitan,,Coastal, and Woodland). The regions are defined in Figure 05-03(5). The five activities were chosen because they are among the most popular day use activities and because their supply capacities could be easily calculated.. They are salt water swimming, picnicking, fresh water swimming, tennis, and golf. For purposes of analysis the model hypothesizes that all the demand takes place in the region. This of course is not the case. Persons do travel outside of their regions to recreate. However, in the light of accessibility restrictions and distance traveled patterns much of the demand will tend. to stay in or near the -region. Further- more, a comparison of demand and supply within a region, although not entirely realistic, is very useful in determining regional deficien- cies in supply (see Table 05-03(2) The demand figure is the estimated number of persons from that re- gion Who participate in a particular activity on the "design day". The supply figure is the number of persons who can be served by the facili- ties located in that region. Several comments should be noted concerning the use of the model. The salt water swimming distribution is of course unrealistic. Only those regions which have coastline can provide supply. Those regions which show large surpluses are in fact provid-ing the supply for those regions which have none. Also, the salt water swimming design day" figures do not include the estimated use by non-residents. The.purpose of displaying these figures is;to emphasize that persons from the Northeast and lVestern Rural regions must be served by supply in other.regions. It should be noted that persons in regions with.little or no salt water swimming will often substitute ftesh-water swimming. For example, in the Northeast region it can be hypothesized that the defi- cit in salt water swimming is alleviated.by the.."surplus of fresh water swimming facilities. Since the model is not specifically designed to provide these conclusions, such interpretations should bo cautiously made in order to understand the true impact of regional deficiencies.

OS-03.8 Information for the other four activities provides a reli.able broad-based description of demand/supply distributions. It is useful at this point to review the exact meaninng of the figures in the table From them it can be shown that the West Metropolitan region has deficits in four of the five activities. The Northeast shows deficiencies in , three of five activities. Western Rural, East Bay Rural and Aquidneck Island show only two deficiencies each, andlVest Bay Coastal shows no deficiencies. From this supply data, in conjunction with the concepts developed concerning accessibility and distance traveled patterns, a des- criptive profile of distribution can be established. There are significant supply deficiencies in the Western Metropo- litan and Northeast regions. In the case of salt water swimming, much of this excess demand utilizes the excess supply in the Western Coastal and Aquidneck Island regions. But as can be seen from the distance travelled data, tennis, golf, fresh water swimming, and some of the picnicking remain in or near the region, or at least indicate a ten- dency to do so. This results in overcrowding of existing facilities in those regions on the "design day". Tennis is the most striking example of this For example, in the town of Johnston and North Provi- dence there are only eight tennis courts,serving a population of more than SO,000 persons, who generate a ."design day" load of 250 tennis players. This number of players would require over.30 tennis courts to satisfy normal standards. All of this is not to say that every region should have the supply capacity to meet -its demand. The major thrust of this model is to show that supply is distributed unevenly in relation to the demand. If the use tends to locate close to home because of accessi- bility restrictions, or any of the other,factors which affect the dis- tance traveled, one can expect overcrowding of facilities in deficient regions, even though there may be a surplus of supply on a statewide basis. Another factor which causes overcrowding is the quality of supply available. No effort has been made in this Recreation Guide Plan Inven- tory to rate the quality of facilities. It is entirely reasonable to assume that a certain percentage of facilities are either heavily un- derused or not used at all because of poor quality. For example, salt water beaches which have poor sand, dangerous surf, and are unclean will receive far less use than a high quality beac@ with convenient parking and unlittered areas. There are tennis courts in the metropo- litan area with cracked asphalt and other physical deficiencies, yet in the inventory they are given the same value as higher quality courts. Poor facility quality is therefore an important factor which indeed conditions any demand-supply comparison and furthermore can greatly affect the distribution of demand over supply. A third factor which affects the distribution of demand over supply is the number of public facilities versus the number of private 05-03.9 or limited membership facilities. The inventory includes all facili- ties and the demand is measured for use over all facilities. However, a public golf course, for example, receives far more use and is more likely to experience overcrowding than a private, members only, golf club. The degree to which this affects demand distribution is not presently known. It is recognized that this factor, although difficult to measure, is significant enough to warrant future surveys or studies to refine the demand/supply distribution data. 05-03-03 Other Variables There are two factors which have considerable influence on any comprehensive analysis of outdoor recreational activity. They are non- resident use and age group preference. A. Non-Resident Use Considerable effort was made to determine the quantity and nature of non-resident participation in Rhode Island for the activities analyzed in thediary survey. The previously discussed On-Site Survey yielded much of this information. A considerable amount of valuable data was collected ranging from information on expenditures to,personal opinions concerning quality of facilities. The data has already proved useful in developing specific administrative policies concerning recreation by non-residents in Rhode Island. The prime objective of the study was to determine, by activity, the amount of non-resident use. Unfortunately, the data was not as comprehensive or conclusive as originally desired. The study does provide, however, excellent data formaking estimates concerning non-resident use for camping and salt water swimming. Furthermore, examination of cordon study data provided by the Rhode Island Department of Transportation supports the conclusion that the major non-resident use occurs in camping and swimming, and additionally, that non-resident use in other activities is minimal. The study did show that non-resident salt water swimming is es- timated -to be 29 percent while non-resident camping is estimated at @61 percent.of the total participation. These proportions can be applied to the "design day" figure determined from the survey of Rhode Island households. The results are that on the average peak day 26,348 non- resident salt water swimmers and 9,690 non-resident campers can be ex- pected in Rhode Island. The cordon studies done by the Rhode Island Department of Trans- portation during May and June of 1972 indicated an average of 32,000 persons per day entering the state on recreational trips. Although comparing this figure to the 36,038 total above is not.statistically valid, it does provide some indication that the greater part of non- resident recreation in Rhode Island is camping and salt water swimming. Participation in other activities is fairly minimal (less than 10 per- cent). Sightseeing, no doubt, accounts for much of the remainder. 05-03.10 It should be cautioned that the above data is not statistically conclusive but is presented as reasonable evidence concerning non I-resi- dent use of recreation facilities in Rhode Island. Because of the re- gionalized impact of tourist-oriented activity in Rhode Island, further research would be of both economic and recreational importance. B. Age.Group Preference Little has been said about the effects of age on recreational behavior. Obviously certain activities are enjoyed more by certain age groups (see Figure OS-03(6) ). Activities such as swimming and outdoor games are enjoyed by younger groups while golf and fishing are enjoyed by middle aged groups. As is the case, with other variables there is a high degree of correlation between age and recreation activity. Certain age groups have accessibility restraints due to lower income and less mobility. The higher rate of participation in certain activi- ties by younger age groups can be directly related to these factors. Older age groups with generally higher income and more mobility tend to show greater participation in activities with cost or distance res- trictions. One of the principal problems revealed in the age data is the recreation situation of the elderly (defined here as persons over 6:0 years of age). Many of the facilities surveyed are obviously not meet- ing the needs or interests of this age group. Rather then treating this issue here, a comprehensive summary is presented in the special studies chapter of this part. 05-03-04 Activity Analyses A. Salt Water Swimm ing water' Rhode Island's most abundant recreational resource is its salt beaches. There are over 22 miles of such beach in Rhode Island which could serve 173,300 persons in one day. The "design.day" estimate which includes non-resident.use is 91,854. This startling surplus of supply is conditioned by three factors discussed earlier: income limi- tations, accessibility restrictions, and distribution. Both family income and automobile ownership affect and limit the level of participation in salt water swimming. One is of course related to the other. The principle to be distilled from these obser- vations is that the distance of salt water swimming facilities from population centers limits the amount of participation by low to middle income groups with minimal transportation capability. A second observation to be made is the distribution of use over the available supply. Overcrowding of particular facilities is ex- plained by three factors: Percent of Activity Days 0 CAM Cn Cro ME C +1 1 ICL X -4 a IN Ch tj CL 40 00, 0. In V.

Therefore those beaches located closest to the populati on centers and those located along major transportation routes are more likely to experience overcrowding. Quality: There are certain large, well known and well main- tained beaches which are obviously,preferred by.the population over smaller, poorly maintained beaches. Ownership: Several salt water beaches are privately owned by clubs which restrict use to the membership of the club.

Supply capacity will be exceeded by the "design day" estimate between 1990 and 1995 assuming no new development of salt water beaches. B. Picnicking Picnicking is defined as eating outdoors specifically for re- creation purposes. Next to salt water swimming, more persons partici- pate in picnicking on the "design day" than any other activity. Similar to other activities analyzed, participation in this activity is moderately restricted by income level and automobile ownership. Also, picnickers tend to-travel farther from home than participants in other typical day use activities such as fresh water swimming, golf, tennis, boating and bicycling. Picnicking shows a tendency to occur on weekends or holi- days more often than the other activities. Nearly 70 percent of the picnic experiences took-place. on weekends or holidays, accounting for the very high "design day" figure of 57,653. The supply capacity for picnicking in the state, based on the number of picnic tables, is 32,047, indicating that there is a deficit of supply on a statewide basis. However, it should be noted that picnicking can and does take place without picnic tables. Furthermore, the actual supply of tables at various sites may have@been underestimated since some of the inventory was conducted during the fall and winter when many picnic tables are being stored away for summertime use. To infer need based strictly on the supply of picnic tables is unrealistic. However, there is no other method of 05-03.12 quantification available. Interpretations of deficits for this activity should be tempered by these considerations. The distance travelled data and the peaking on weekends characterize picnicking as a leisure day activity which occurs outside the neighborhood, perhaps in some environmentally or aesthetically pleasing setting. It would seem, there- fore, that providing a natural setting is as important to picnicking as providing picnic tables.

Compared to other outdoor recreational acti- vit.ies, these figures do not represent significant increases. C. Fresh Water Swimming For purposes of this analysis, fresh water swimming is defined as swimming in any fresh water river, lake, pond or artificial pool. Rhode Island fresh water swimming facilities can accommodate 53,792 persons while the "design day" estimate is SO,094. Again, based on all the.facilities available over the entire state, there is presently a surplus of supply. The significant observations concerning fresh water swimming are: 1) it is the only activity analyzed where a greater portion of one car families than two car families participated, and 2) nearly 70 percent of the activity took place within 10 miles of home. Fresh water swimming is apparently enjoyed by a broad spectrum of the population. It is an activity which takes place close to home and therefore lends itself very well to distribution analysis by regions. There are significant supply deficiencies in the West Metropolitan, ,East Metropolitan and Aquidneck Island regions. Furthermore, it can be theorized that fresh water swimming is frequently a substitute activity for those persons less capable of accessing salt water facilities. It is important to note that the increased popularity of individually owned, backyard and residential complex pools should be taken into account as an additional source of supply for this recreation need. It is important to quantify this factor, but survey modifications could elm@minate its influence on the data. 05-03.13 Forecast Fresh Water Swimming Surplus/ Year Design Day Supply(Persons) Deficit 1975 50,094 53,792 + 3698 1980 54,042 - 250 1985 60,316 -6,524 1990 68,290 -14,498 1995 75,183 -21,391 2000 85,580 -31,788 By 1980 supply capacity will have been reached by the "design day" load. The deficit indicated in 1985 will necessitate an additional 3,600 linear feet of fresh water beach to meet the demand. By 1995, the requirement. will be an additional 11,000 linear feet. D. Sightseeing This very difficult to define activity is the fourth most popular analyzed. It can include everything from a walk through a neighborhood park to a long distance, out-of-state trip. It is apparent from the survey data that sightseeing often occurred in conjunction with or as a result of other recreational pursuits. For this reason, it can often be described as an activity that supplements the primary reason for a round trip. The "design day" estimate for sightseeing in Rhode Island is 23,931. However this accounts for only one-third of the activity as nearly 46,000 Rhode Islanders can be expected to go out of state on the "design day". The distance travelled data bears this out, showing that over 50 percent of the activity took place over SO miles from home.. Determining supply capacities for this activity is obviously impossible; therefore, making observations from which meaningful plan- ning objectives can be derived is difficult. It can be emphasized that 70,383 persons recreating in.a particular activity on one day do require consideration. Since sightseeing does not require formal facilities, such features as scenic trails, views, historic areas, and other points of interest should be considered when planning to satisfy this recrea- tional need. Forecast Sightseeing Surplus/ Year Design Day Supply(Persons) Deficit- 1975 23,931 N/A N/A 1980 27,380 1985 34,037 1990 41,605 1995 51,633 2000 64,364 05-03.14 of all the activities studied, sightseeing is expected to show the greatest increase in demand over the next 10 to 20 years. In 10 years, the'increase will be 42 percent while in 20 years it will more than double. This projection must be tempered however, by the fact that continued cost increases for fuel may have a very significant negative impact on the sightsee ing activity. E. Boating In this study, boating comprised all types of fresh water and salt water activity ranging from canoeing to yachting. It is not sur- prising that boating should be in the top five recreational activities. There are over 20,000 registered boats in Rhode Island and there are another estimated 20,000 to 30,000 unregistered boats in the state. The "design day" estimate for boating is 19,848 persons. Neither the inventory data nor the demand data are specific enough to make obser- vations on the needs for salt water marinas vs. fresh water boat launch- ing sites, and the like. The 183 boat launching ramps in the state with an estimated parking capacity for 3,536 cars can at present accom- modate 75 percent of the total "design day" demand. However, . accommo- dating the total "design day" with boat launches is not the major issue; rather, it is whether there are enough marina slips to berth larger boats for a season. Marinas are generally full in Rhode Island through- out the season indicating a potential need for more facilities. How- ever, the issue of marina development to meet boating demands is best handled by the private sector working with coastal zone planners * Demand analysis can only*provide a generalist view of boating partici- pation and supply. A more detailed study of the problems associated with boating should be undertaken in the,private sector. Forecast Boating Surplus/ Year Design Day Supply(Persons) Deficit 1975 19,848 46,471 +26,623 1980 22,519 +23,952 1985 26,492 +19,979 1990 31,772 +14,699 1995 38,018 + 8,453 2000 46,270 + 201 AsAndicated in the table above, boating is the third fastest growing activity in Rhode Island, with "design day" estimates increasing by @ more than 92 percent over the next 20 years. This rapid rise in boat7 ing is principally accounted for by the increase of the population's real income over the same period of time. 05-03.15 F. Camping The inventory notes that there are 4,276 campsites in the state with a capacity for 17,104 campers. The "design day" estimate for camp- ing is 6,196 Rhode Islanders plus 9,690 non-resident campers for a total of 15,886 campers. Camping is enjoyed by all income groups and is pri- marily a family activity. A survey of campers at Burlingame State Park showed that over 89 percent of those campers interviewed were there as a family group. The study also showed that camping occurs as part of an activity cluster including picnicking, hiking, bicycling and swim- ming. Rhode Island's salt water coast is the greatest attraction for campers And although there is a surplus of sites on a statewide basis, campgrounds located along the southern shore are generally filled to capacity for most of the season. Camping is also an activity usually requiring travel of some distance. Over 65 percent of camping activity. by Rhode Islanders took place out of state. Similarly 61 percent of the camping activity taking place in Rhode Island was by non-Rhode Island residents. Forecast Camping Surplus/ Year Design Day Supply(Persons) Deficit 1975 15,886 17,104 + 1,218 1980 16,528 + 576 1985 17,242- - 138 1990 17,933 - 829 1995 18,360 - 1,256 2000 18,875 - 1,771 Participation rates per family for camping will decrease over time. The slight increases in camping activity are due to total population in- creases. The actual participation rate per household unit is projected to decline slightly over the next 25 years. G. Outdoor Games This category of activity was intended to measure formal and in- formal outdoor games requiring open space. However , demand studies aimed at measuring participation in 15 activities sometimes suffer from lack of specificity. The outdoor games category was ill-defined and too broad and, as a result, it is suspected that considerable under- reporting took place by survey respondents for this activity. Studies presently being conducted find that participation in this activity is. considerable and that most times, the only facility required is an open field. The mere maintenance of open space in theurban area, can satisfy a great deal of demand for active outdoor activities. 05-03.16 In addition, properly maintained football fields, baseball fields, and basketball courts require minimal cost, but can satisfy a great deal of need, expecially in and around urban neighborhoods. Forecast Outdoor Games Surplus/' Year Design Day Supply (Persons) Deficit 1975 8,551 23,060 +14,509 1980 8,950 +14,110 1985 9,427 +13,633 @1990 9,884 +13,176 1995 10,137 +12V923 2000 10,472 +12,S88 These figures show only a moderate increase, less than 20 percent, in outdoor game activity over the next 20 years. 11. Salt Water Fishing This activity is defined as rod fishing either from the shore or boat in salt water for recreational purposes. It does not include shellfishing. The "design day" estimate for this activity is 7,650 persons No supply capacity in terms of persons is estimated for this activity for ideally, salt water fishing can tal,-e place anywhere along the 420 miles of Rhode Island's coastline. It is an activity enjoyed by most income groups. However reference to Figure 05-03(l) indicates that twice as many two car families participate than one or no car families. It would seem, therefore, that one's capability to access the shore is a factor which determines the level of participation. There is another factor not exposed in the survey which has a definite effect on the recreational opportunity of the salt water sport fishermen: the adequacy of public rights-of-way. Many public rights-of-way have @been identified by the Rhode Island Public Rights-of-Way Commission; however, many of these public rights-of-way do not have adequate park- ing, nor-are they properly maintained. Furthermore, pollution of the upper bay and increased private ownership of the coast is depriving the sports fishermen of available fishing areas close to population centers. A program aimed at identifying, improving' and protecting prime areas for fishing*would be extremely beneficial to the salt water sports fishermen. Such a program might be financed through the much suggested salt water fishing license. Forecast Salt Water Fishing Surplus/ Year Design Day SupplylPersons, Deficit 1975 7,650 N/A N/A 1980 8,006 1985 8,455 1990 8,894 1995 9,199 2000 9,550 05-03.17 Participation in this activity is estimated to increase by only 11 percent over the.next 10 years and only 20 percent over the next 20 years. I. Tennis Tennis is one of the more specific activities to be studied; both the demand and supply characteristics lend themselves to quanti- tative treatment. It is obviously one of the faster growing outdoor recreation activities. The calculated design day for tennis is 5,523 persons. The supply capacity is 3,969 based on 2.5 persons/court and a turnover rate of 3. As can be seen there is a deficit of facili- 1 but deficiencies are most pronounced in ties on a statewide basis ' I the West Metropolitan and Northeast regions (reference Table OS-03(2) Figure 05-03(2) exposes tennis as a middle to high income activity, but. this is not due to the high cost of participating, as costs for-this activity are fairly minimal. Rather, it is due to the fact that, tra- ditionally, tennis has been enjoyed only by high income groups and also because of the non-availability of tennis courts in the urban areas where lower income groups are concentrated. If more courts become available in low income areas, this discrepancy should disappear. It is also important to note that the inventory includes all tennis courts reg'ardless of physical condition. There are courts in the metropolitan area which are in a state of disrepair and virtually unuseable. This further emphasizes the needs of the metropolitan region. Forecast Tennis Surplus/ Year Design Day. Supply(Persons) Deficit 1975 5,523 3,968 - 1,555 1980 6,066 - 2,098 1985 6,826 - 2,858 1990 7,711 - 3,743 199S 8,687 - 4,719 2000 9,889 S,921 Of the activities analyzed, tennis is the fifth fastest growing activity. Participation is expected to increase by 24 percent from 1975 to 1985 and by 57 percent from 197S to 1995. The opinion that tennis, is currentl Iy a "fad" and that it is being promoted widely by the media is 'a variable not accounted for in the forecasting model. As a result, there may be changes in tennis participation that would be significant- ly different than that which appears in the above table. J. 'Golf Similar.to tennis, supply capacities for golf are easily calcu- lated. The 708 golf holes in the state provide recreational opportuni- ty for 11,328 persons.@ The "design day" estimate for golf is 4,604, 05-03.18 far less than the capacity of golf courses in the state. Analysis of distribution by regions exposes no real problems, as all regions show a surplus of supply. The high cost of participating in golf tends to make it a middle to high income activity. One of the attractive fea- tures of golf is its age characteristics. Reference to Figure 05-03(6), shows that golf is enjoyed by many middle aged and elderly persons. It should be noted that approximately 30 percent of Rhode Island's golfing activity takes palce out of the state. This occurs not be- cause of the lack of facilities in Rhode Island., but rather, because of the availability of nearby golf courses in neighboring states. Forecast - Golf Surplus/ Year Design Day- Supply(Persons) Deficit 1975 4,604 11,328 + 6,724 1980 5,151 + 6,177 1985 5,953 + 5,375 1990 7,002 + 4,326 1995 8,240 + 3,088 2000 9,827 + 1,501 Significant increases in golf participation over the next 10 and 20 years can be primarily attributed to increases in real income. The increase over the next 20 years will be nearly 80 percent. K. Hiking The "design day" figure for hiking in Rhode Island is 3,620. This apparently low figure can be attributed to two factors: 1) the true hiker, usually prefering a wilderness setting with a variety of natural attractions, does not feel that the urban nature of Rhode Island affords this opportunity; 2) the hiking trails that do exist in the state are poorly mapped, poorly signed and underpublicized. The inventory shows t hat there are 198 miles of hiking trails in the state. Utilizing a standard of 15 persons/mile and a turnover rate of 6 yields a supply capacity of 17,847 person/day. However, in many cases, it is not high quality hiking trail as previously mentioned. As a result, some 5,200 hikers leave the state on the design day to par- ticipat.e in their activity. It is interesting to compare the total . "design day" including persons who leave the state (Not included in "de- sign day" calculations) for tennis and hiking. For hiking, the figure is 8,829 and for tennis, 7,464. This comparison reveals a popularity for hiking that may be often underestimated. 05-03.19 Forecast Hiking Surplus/ Year Design Day Supply(Persons) Deficit- 1975 3,620 17,847 +1 4,227 1980 3,852 +13,995 1985 4,119 +13,728 1990 4,407 +132440 1995 4,683 +13,164 2000 5,002 +12,845 Forecasts for hiking activity show only moderate increases over the next 25 years, with the supply capacity not being reached within that time frame.. L. Bicycling Many recent recreation studies have noted the increased popu- larity of bicycling. Some studies have found bicycling to be the most popular recreational activity. The Rhode Island demand studies of 1974 measured bicycling in a restricted fashion. Trips around the neighborhood were excluded and in effect only tour biking as an activity was measured. The result was a very low "d6sign day" figure of 3,897 persons. There is every reason to believe that bicycling is as popular in Rhode,Island as it is in other states. It is reason- able to infer, therefore, that most bicycling activity takes place around the neighborhood. (This enforces 'a major contention of this study that many activities take place close to home, especially those activities of short duration.) The supply for bicycling is the heavily travelled roadways of the more densely settled areas. The fact that there arean estimated 400,000 bicycles in the state indi- cates that this activity should be studied to a greater extent. Forecast - BicXcling Surplus/ Year Design Day Supply(Persons) Deficit 1975 2,897 N/A N/A 1980 3,063 1985 3,293 1990 3,505 1995 3@706 2000 3,933 The "design day" estimates only reflect participation in tour biking; the forecast tends to show a very moderate increase in activity over the next 25 years. 05-03.20 M. Fresh Water Fishing The "design day" figure for fresh water fishing uti 1izing data from the month of July is 3,191. It is important to note that this is not the optimum month to participate in this activity since the fishing season occurs during the'spring and fall, making it illegal to fish for many species during July. Therefore, it was determined unappropriate to develop a complete analysis and forecast for fresh water fishing based entirely upon July data. It is anticipated that additional statistical evidence based on surveys during optimum fishing months will yield a more comprehensive statement on the needs of fresh water fishing in Rhode Island. N. Horseback Riding Next to birdwatching, horseback riding has the lowest "design day" figure of the activities surveyed. Less than 2,600 persons can be expected to participate in this activity on the average peak'day, and much like hiking, the urban nature of the state discourages parti- cipation in this activity. The 238 miles of designated horseback riding trails in the state can accommodate nearly 12,000 persons, pre- senting no difficulty with the quantity of supply available. However, there are two principal barriers to participation in this activity: 1) horses are difficult to keep in predominately urbanized regions, and 2) costs are high for transporting horses to riding areas. It is interesting-to note that barely 1 percent of the population owns horses and that yearly maintenance costs run over $500 per year. Forecast Horseback Riding Surpl'us/ Year Design Day Supply(Persons) Deficit 1975 2 569 11,940 + 9,371 1980 2:652 + 9,288 1985 2,771 + 9,161 1990 2,879 + 9,061 1995 2,953 + 8,987 @2000 3,055 + 8,885 Next to birdwatching, horseback riding shows the lowest rate of in- crease over the next 25 years. Actually, per capita rate of partici- pation will decrease over the same time period. The increases in "design day" figures are due to increases in population. 0. Birdwatching Only 1,934 persons can be expected to participate in birdwatching in Rhode Island on the "design day". However, this represents only 20 percent of the total activity as nearly 80 percent of the activity takes 05-03. 21 place out-of-state. Apparently, this is an activity where the true enthusiast will travel long distances in order to view a variety of species. Also, it is generally an older and low to middle income group which enjoys this activity according to the survey data. Again, it must be emphasized that the urbanized nature of this state does not always lend itself to the enjoyment of this activity. However, there are several bird sanctuaries in the state, including Block Island, considered one of the prime birdwatching areas in New England. The proportionately low level of activity does not maRe it one to 'receive a high priority when considering future recreational facility needs.

As with horseback riding, this activity reflects an in- creasing "design day" figures due to population increase. 05-03-09 Recommendations It should be emphasized that the preceding analysis is based on data for only the month of July, 1974. It is the first phase of ana- lysis and is therefore incomplete in some respects. Presented in this section are a series of recommendations which result from the Phase I data analysis. They are intended to function as the link between the data.of this demand section and the actual poli- cies and objectives of the plan. Improve use opportunities at existing urban and metropolitan parks and develop additional neighborhood recreation areas in accordance with the policies of the State Guide Plan. These recommendations are aimed specifically at the income and accessibility restrictions previously discussed. They are general in nature in that they do not opt for any particular activity. They es-. tablish the concept that the metropolitan recreation area, when properly developed and maintained, can solve some of the problems exposed in the demand surveys. At first glance, this appears to be a municipal res- ponsibility. However, the high priority of this recommendation indi- .cates that-the state should assume a major role, not only in providing funding but also in terms of technical assistance. 05-03.22 Improve publ ic transportation to recreation sites, particularly in and around urban and metropolitan areas. One of the overall goals of this plan is to insure that recrea- tional opportunity is available to all persons regardless of socio- economicclass. Many times the only reason a household may not be participating is their lack of transportation. Coordination with public transit agencies to create routes which access recreation areas can in some measure alleviate this inequity., The State 'should 'meet immediate short-term recreational- needs first. 'If excess fun'ding.is available, lower priority landiacquisi- tions..c.ould,be made.in anticipation of long-term needs. Although, for example, there appears to be no real need on a statewide basis for'acquiring additional salt water swimming facilities over the first 10 year period of.this plan, the long-'range forecast indicates a potential need by 1995. Thereforel, consideration could be given to Acquiring facilities for long-term needs in the immediate future if it is economically feasible, and after higher priority, short- rangeneeds have been satisfied. Past policies of pursuing.land acqui- sitions strictly on an opportunistic basis@have served to provide the state with many diversified parks and management areas. However, the time-has come'to re-orie'nt the recreation planning direction at the state level, and give highest priority to addressing the more urgent needs of the recreationally-disadvantaged by improving existing faci- lities in the urbanized.Area and increasing the accessibility of faci- lities outside the deficient metropolitan centers. Meet supply 'deficiencies in tenn .is, particularly in the West Metropolitan and Northeast regions. Meet picnicking.deficiencies.in all regions, particularly in the West Metropolitan and'Northeast regions. 0 Provide fresh water s:w'imm Iing.in the West and East Metropolitan areas, not only to meet.supply deficiencies., but also as a.substitute for salt water swimming deficiencies. These three recommendations are grouped together because they are an outflow' of the distribution model. The major deficiencies are in the Northeast and We'st Metropolitan regions, and, in light of the distance travelled data and accessibility restrictions, it is suggested that facilities be provided as close. as possible to those regions showing deficiencies. The presence of state parks such as Lincoln Woods, Snake Den, and Goddard Park offer the state Department of Natural Re- sources excellent opportunities to meet a percentage of these defi- ciencies in picnicking, fresh water swimming and tennis. It is also anticipated that the municipalities most affected will react,to the observed need., It should al so be emphasized that both Snake Den and 05-03.23 Lincoln Woods Are major recreation areas easi ly accessed by theurban communities, of Providence, Pawtucket and Central Falls. 0 Esta,blish transportation and other programs to improve the accessibility'61 the population to existing salt water beaches. Redistribute use of salt water beaches to obtain more uniform utilization. Certainlyl*,''the supply of salt water beaches is not a factor in salt water swimming needs. The crucial issues are addressed in the recommendations:, 1) salt water beaches in the southern towns are not easily accessible to low and low-middle income groups living in the northern urban areas and 2) there is strong evidence which suggests that large state and municipally owned beaches are over used while' smaller privately a 'nd.municipally owned beaches are under used. The bus opera- tion instituted-by Department of Natural Resources and the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority during the summer of 1974 was an excellent first step in providing transportation for those persons in one-and no- car families with limited transportation capability. Programs such as this s'hould.be continued and sponsored at both the state and local levels. Salt water swimming is the most popular activity in the state not only in terms of demand but also in terms of supply. Yet, the public is poorly informed of the beaches available to them. A program aimed at informing the.public of the variety of salt water beaches available, both public and private, might ease the crowding problem at the larger more well known public beaches. The Department of Economic Development publishes several recreational guides on camping and boating. A simi-. lar effort for salt water beaches could be an excellent start. Identify, publicize and protect areas of scenic, historical, and cultural interest for the large sightseeing population. As noted,,previously, nearly 24,000 Rhode Islanders can expect to be sightseeing in Rhode Island on the "design day". In addition, another 46j452 Rhode Islanders travel out of state to partake in this activity.- This total of 70,383 is the third highest "design day" demand. It is important therefore that this seemingly simple activity receive consideration by responsible recreation agencies. Little has been done to accommodate thig large@population. The recommendation calls for an inventory of sce.nic and cultural areas such as highways, historical places, etc.-and making this inventory well known to the public. Such an 'inventory wiH serve two purposes: 1) the public will be aware of the many areas available in the state and 2) significant public recog- nition of aesthetic areas often serves as a very strong protection me-. chanism. Improve. public access to the shore to maximize t he opportunities for salt water fishing and other salt water related activities. 05-03.24 For years the Rhode Island coast has been seemingly a limitless source of supply for the salt water fishermen. However, increased development and private ownership of the coast may have a serious ef- fect on the.salt water fishing activity, especially near population center (over 7.0 percent of fishing activity takes place within 15 miles of @ome). Furthermore, salt water fishing is actively enjoyed by all income groups and for the most part it is relatively inexpensive. It is an activity which can be enjoyed throughout life. However, there has been no comprehensivc program to identify and protect optimum fishing. areas. The work of the Public Rights of Way Commission has improved the knowledge of public access to the shore, but public rights-of-way do not generally have adequate parking. The thrust of this recommen- dation is to accommodate and encourage salt water fishing by providing public access to optimum fishing areas as close as possible to the population centers. 0 Assist the private sector with market information so that both the recreation industry and the population will receive maximum benefit. There are several activities analyzed in this report which should be provided by the private sector. When the private sector shows the desire and the ability to provide recreational services for the public, they should be encouraged to do so. As a result of the studies done by the state several recommendations can be made to the private sector; for example, a good deal of data has been collected'on Rhode I'sland.'s camping market, particularly the fact that campgrounds located near salt water recreation areas are by far the most popular. In a more negative fashion, golf course development need not be encouraged because of the optimum supply situation in the state. The income character- istics of tennis players is shifting downward as the activity becomes more popular indicating that lower fees at private courts may attract more players and generate more profit. However, communicating these facts to the private industry will require a good deal more than lip service. 05-04.1 05-04 SDecial Studies Quantitative measures are essential in identifying areas of need. Their importance cannot be over-emphasized. However, many po- tential needs must be recognized which cannot be quantified. This recognition necessitates a qualitative process which does not always reflect structured patterns. The following.subjects are addressed in an attempt to meet some of the potential recreation needs in Rhode Island. These studies have been undertaken as a result of qualitative decisions made during the continuing planning process. it is important to note that the conclusions and recommendations generated by these studies predate the results of the statistical ana- lyses. Although the quantitative results usually serve to reinforce earlier policies, in some cases the statistical evidence does offer apparent contradictions. In some instances, policies based on quali- tative judgements of particular situations and needs have, in fact, been modified by statistical data that became available at a later date. It would probably be more appropriate to say that apparent policy conflicts have merely been more efficiently examined, yielding more refined statements of need that clarified the general policies and enabled development of more specific objectives to provide a frame- work for future'recreation planning. One must always be conscious . @ of the fact that goals and policies are subject to continuous reconsi- deration and.modification in accordance with statistical data which indicates changing needs. 05-04-01- Bay Islands Park Study After nearly two decades of sporadic interest in developing a park system on the islands of Narragansett Bay, the reduction in Navy activities which began in 1973 created the first opportunity to real- istically investigate its feasibility. Several thousand acres of prime coastal and island property unexpectedly became available for public use, including recreation. .Funding to undertake a feasibility study was obtained from the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation in the Department of the Interior, and the state Department of Natural Resources. A joint interagency-uni- versity research team was organized under the direction of the Coastal Resources Center, University of Rhode Island, and work began early in 1974. Sinc'e-that time the research team has worked closely with a forty member'Citizen's Advisory Group and has published a preliminary report (April,, 1974) and a final proposal (fall, 1975). A. Conclusions of the Study The research team found that not only was development of a Bay Islands Park feasible, but highly desirable as a recreational asset, a bulwark against further aesthetic and physical deterioration of the Bay environment, and a potentially significant generator of income 05-04.2 through tourism and business activity. It found that a nucleus of high quality state recreation areas were already in operation or under development in and around the Bay and that the acquisition of key sur- plus federal holdings and several private tracts could contribute to a viable system. It was concluded that the Bay islands represented a uniquely valuable recreational resource whose use and development should be guided by a clearly defined set of policies and objectives. These include the following: Inexpensive and convenient access should,be equally avail- able to ail. A wide range of recreational experiences should be offered, especially those such as swimming, picnicking, fishing, scenic viewing, boating, and hiking, which are in greatest demand. Recreational use should be in harmony with the environment and.should.not detract.from or debase natural beauty or eco- logical systems. The system should complement existing facilities.by concen- trating on amenities that are either not available or are in short supply. As,previously.noted, a primary objective in designing the new park system was to make it easily accessible to the state's citizens. After rejecting the options of state operation or subsidy of a public ferry system as unfeasible, it was decided that the cheapest and most efficient way to guarantee the desired level of service would be to negotiate service contracts with private carriers. The state could then set routes, schedules and fares without, assuming responsibility for the operation of a transportation system. Tentative interest in a franchise arrangement was expressed by those carriers approached. Ter- minals in Providence at the head of the Bay, Allen Harbor on the West shore, and Melville and Newport on the East shore, are recommended. Each of these locations has serviceable piers available and is proxi- mate to concentrations of potential park users. Ferries-from these points would service the proposed major recreation area on the south end of Prudence Island, again utilizing an existing pier. Access from there to outlying.islands would be via smaller ferries or launches operated on the same concession basis as the larger vessels. it was further concluded-that financial, political, and adminis- trative realities dictated that developmental priorities be identified. A phased development strategy through which highest immediate priority would be placed on continued improvements of existing state holdings 05-04.3 and acquisition of surplus federal properties was proposed. It is be- lieved that this will provide the least cost nucleus of a Bay-oriented recreation system. B. Areas Under State Ownership Exiting state holdings slated for expansion and improvement under the Bay Islands Park proposal are Dutch Island, Fort Wetherill, Fort Adams, and Brenton Point. Dutch Island has already been designated a Bay Islands Park and most of the picnic tables, camp sites and hiking trails recommended are in place. Additional improvements would include further clean up and construction of an improved landing pier. Improve- ments at Fort Wetherill, Fort Adams,' and Brenton Point are proceeding according to long range plans developed by the Department of'Natural Resources. *All were state parks before the Bay Islands Park concept was seriously proposed, but are fully compatible with the new system. Planned improvements at Fort Wetherill include installation of picnic tables and sanitary facilities, construction of new trails, an improved road system, and additional parking areas. Work in progress at Fort Adams involves restoration and reconstruction of historically signifi- cant military structures and fortifications. At Brenton Point on New- port's scenic Ocean Drive eleven automobile turnouts have been completed and building restoration, road, and bicycle trail construction are proposed for interior sections. All improvements to these areas are tarried as separate items in the Department of Natural Resources capital development budget and as such do not representnew costs genereated by the Bay Islands Park proposal. With the exception of Dutch Island, all.are accessable by automobile and capable of supporting substantial numbers of recreators, both features which will contribute to the flexibility and diversity of the new system. Hope Island is thus farthe only former naval property actually transferred to the state for use as a Bay Islands Park. It is proposed that it be managed as a low intensity day use area, although a limited number of primitive camp sites would be prepared. Clean up, trail clearing, provisi6ns for fishing access, and picnicking would complete .proposed improvements. A major objective in developing the island's recreational potential is to preserve its rugged natural beauty and valuable wildlife habitat, including one of the state's only heron rookeries. Since the island is accessible only by boat, it is proposed that it be serviced by launch from the central ferry terminal located on,the southern end of Prudence Island. Hope Island development costs are projected at between $20,000 and $25,000. C. Areas Under Federal Ownership ,Of the five recreationally attractive naval properties already or soon likely to be surplused, the state has surrendered its. interest 05-04.4 in two to the parent communities. ((57)) Allen Harbor in N.orth Kings- town and Melville Boat Basin in Portsmouth will both be developed for municipal recreational use, although the Bay Islands Park proposal would provide for a ferry terminal at each. These terminals would provide island access to the West.Bay and Aquidneck Island communi- ties. Development of these terminals should not conflict with local plans for the areas. Of the three remaining sites, the most critical to the Park proposal is the former ordinance supply depot at the southern end of Prudence. Island.. Because of its central location in the bay this area is proposed as a receiving area for the water accessible elements of the park system. Prudence Island is also accessible from Bristol by ferry. It is further proposed th 'at this area support concentrations of recreational facilities such as walks and hiking trails, camping and picnic sites, open fields, an information center, and a hostel- education complex housed in refurbished military structures. Size, topography and the availability of electric power and potable water all enhance the capacity and recreational value of the site. Improvement costs are estimated at $125,0.00. The state's bid for recreational use of this area has, however, been held up pending com- pletion of studies investigating other potential uses. Navy holdings in the Beavertail area of Conanicut Island have As yet not been surplused, although the Bay Islands Park Study proposes their inclusion in the system when and if they area. A large level and open parcel on the western side of the island would be developed for intensive day use with upgrading of existing roads and parking areas, walkway construction, installation of picnic tables and sanitary faci- lities and preparation of several informal game fields. Estimated costs are $65,000 to $70,000. A smaller but highly scenic area com- prising B@eavertail Point itself would also be acquired for recreational use if surplused. The site of the third oldest lighthouse on the At- lantic seaboard, it is a popular vista point and fishing area. -It is proposed that future recreational use reflect these preferences. Park- ing would be provided and an existing road around the point would be converted into a edestrian mall for strollers. Costs are projected at approximately M,000. D. Areas Under Private Ownership Three private holdings are proposed for inclusion in the Bay islands Park. Of these, the two largest, Patience Island and the north end of Prudence Island, are on the market. The Prudence site is parti- cularly attractive -- large, scenic, and essentially undeveloped. It contains some of the state's largest and most beautiful salt marshes and the only swimming quality sand beaches on any of the Bay islands. Its interior is richly vegetated and has an irregular terrain ideal for hiking and nature observation. These, along with informal swim- ming, picnicking, and camping are the primary activities proposed for 05-04 .5 what would essentially be a nature area.- Access would be-via private boat or launch from the south end of the island or by the existing ferry service to Prudence Island. Costs for trail clearing, picnic and camp site preparation and sanitary facilities are estimated at $65,000. Land costs will inflate this estimate so much that some combination of donation and federal assistance will probably be necessary for the state to acquire the area.. The same would hold true for nearby Patience Island. It is proposed that this island be acquired as a management area with only a few trails and campsites cleared in the heavy undergrowth. Pier restoration and other minor improvements would cost some $20,000 to $25,000. A small parcel of some three to five acres on the North shore of Conanicut Island is the final proposed component of the Bay Islands Park. It would provide public access to the shore, parking,-and a scenic view up the Bay in an area where all are currently in short sup ly. Costs not including land acquisition are estimated at $7,000 to 310,000. Again, acquisition costs may be the controlling factor in the location and design of this facility. 05- 04-02 Rhode Island Natural Areas Survey The Rhode Island Natural Areas Survey is part of a New England- wide regional study undertaken to locate, evaluate, classify, and deter- mine possible protection techniques for the region's unique and signi- ficant natural areas. The study was conducted under the auspices of the New England Natural Resources Center (NENRC) utilizing federal funds allocated by the New England Regional Commission. The NENRC in turn contracted with and funded one or more private conservation agencies in each of the six New England states to undertake the inven- tory process. The Audubon Society of Rhode Island was the state pro- ject coordinator for Rhode Island. Since February...1973, the Rhode Island Natural Areas Project working through the Statewide Planning Program, has sustained an on- going inventory program, established a coordinating center for natural area information, and begun the development of various protection me- chanisms for the state's natural areas. During this period, it has become apparent that one of the major uses of the inventory phase has been its incorporation into the programs of both state and local plan- ning agencies..,'The Statewide Planning Program has incorporated natural area information into its Land Use Policies and Plan. Two elements of the Survey have been substantially complet.ed and are summarized below: A. Inventory To initiate the natural ake'a inventory, a system of 24 volun- tary field monitors was established throughout the state. These in- dividuals searched local town halls for names and addresses of natural 05-04.6 area land owners, determining abutting property owners, tax status, type of zoning, etc.., and in many cases visited the property regularly to determine the continuing physical status of natural areas. The next task was to notify owners that their land had been recognized as a natural area. The program of notifying owners was undertaken using material supplied,by the field monitor team. It was hoped that the owners of these areas would be encouraged to take . @reater concern in their land and not inadvertently despoil or destroy it. About 80 percent of landowners were notified of selection of their property for inclusion in the inventory. There was an unexpectedly large positive response to notification which consisted of a two page description of the project and a postage paid reply card. The response rate was 20 percent, with private, corporate, and municipal owners re- questing further information on protection possibilities. All owners @vere personally contacted and, in some instances, negotiations regard- ing alternate protection plans have been proceeding. One project under- way at Ell Pond/Long Pond involves private purchase. Negotiations are being handled by the Nature Conservancy. Other projects that involve putting lands in trust include swamp land in South@Kingstown, a botan- ical area in Lincoln, the Matunuck section of South Kingstown, and land along the north branch of the Pawtuxet River. All inventory data has been computerized and is fully retrie- vable. Annual updating is essential to reflect deletions as well as new discoveries. B. Evaluation of Areas (Protection Priorities) Areas have been designated as being of natural, regional, state, or local significance according to a rating system devised for that purpose. Each area in the inventory is rated in order to determine priority for protective action. Ratings are scaled from one to five with one representing a low or negative rating and five a high or posi- tive rating. A total score of 70 indicates highest priority, while a score of 14 indicates that resources for protection projects should be assigned to othe@r areas first. Rating scale: 1. Vulnerability (1-low, 5-high) 2. Degree of immediate threat (1-low, 5-high) 3. Rare features present (1-few or never, 5-several or often) 4. Uniqueness within state (1-low, 5-high) S. Esthetic quality (1-low, 5-high) 6. Ecological or wildlife quality (1-low, 5-high) 7. 'Educational value (1-low, 5-high) 1* Diversity of features (1-low, 5-high) 9. Size (1-1 acre or less, 5-over 1,000 acres) 10. Scientific or research potential (1-low, 5-high) 05-04 .'7 11. Accessibility to large population (1-low, 5-high) 12. Owner attitude toward protection (1-negative, 5-highly positive) 13. Duplication of features in other natural areas (1-many, 5-few) 14. Useability for unrelated but compatible purposes (1-not useable, 5-high useability) It is recommended that annual revisions be performed to reflect changes in threat status, funding,.public attitudes, and state or local priorities. Revisions to the system itself may be necessitated by availability of more refined methods of definitions and evaluation techniques. The following three elements of the survey are preliminary out- lines designed to serve as recommendations or proposals for further activities. C. Development of Management Plans Individualized plans for each area should be made prior to deci- sions on specific protective mechanisms to be used. Several projects have been started on an ad hoc basis, independent of the project staff. Ideally however, initiation of a project.should be preceded,by develop- ment of guidelines and detailed coordination among all parties interested in natural area protection. Approaches to owners of natural areas on specific proposals should be made only after the above have been accom- plished. Uncoordinated efforts by federal, state, local, and semi- public or private interests could seriously impair the chances of Sig- nificant accomplishments in natural area protection within the state. It is therefore recommended that the State of Rhode Island finance a staff of one coordinator and one secretary to work with the Rhode Island Natural Heritage Council on the following projects: 1. Creation and maintena nce of aRhode Island Natural Areas I Register. 2.- Coordination of Rhode Island Natural Area programs with those of other states and with federal natural areas programs. 3. Making application for and receiving federal funds available for natural area protection. 4. Developing appropriate protection and management plans for the entire inventory of natural areas in Rhode Island. 5. Working with cities and towns within the state on local natural area projects. 6. Maintain the natural areas inventory. 7. Consulting with state, local, and federal agencies proposing projects affecting inventoried natural areas. 05-04'. 8 The principal staff member should be thoroughly familiar with legal protection techniques,,able to match an area and its resources with an.ownership level (federal, state, town, semi-public, private) and be able to prepare and/or evaluate management plans for a wide range of natural area protection plans. Plans should include guidelines for specific pr otection' techniques and a specific level or category of protective ownership for each natural area. Some suggested minimum criteria are: 1. Deg ree of fragility of the principal feature(s). 2. Tempo rality of feature(s). 3. Available knowledge relative to effects of manipulation .of land, water, and biota on principal feature(s). 4. Nature and degree of threats from surrounding causes. 5. Useability of the area for activities compatible with pro- tection of major feAture(s). 6. Ability of proposed ownership to manipulate and control access, use, and associated land, water, and biota. 7. Willingness of a proposed ownership to manage for protec- tion first and compatible use, if any, secondarily, and to provide continuity of management policy to a degree con- sistent with the temporality of the feature. D. Development of Protection Techniques Some essential techniques presently recognized as tools for natural area protection are: Purchase in fee simple - Some areas should be acquired outright by fee simple acquisition by federal, state, or local governments or private agencies or individuals. This can be done by various federal funding programs that match revenue raised through bond issues. Some examples are the Land and Water Conservation Fund, Pittman-Robertson Fund, and Dingell-Johnson Fund. In addition, the Audubon'Society is currently working on a program that will accept property adjacent to or.near a proposed project in lieu of matching funds. Easement rights These should be used as a means of restricting private speculation from a natural area through the acquisition of de- velopment rights, timber cutting rights, excavation rights, etc. Legis- iation should be enacted enabling private trustees to obtain the same rights as governmental agencies. OS -04@. 9 Leases - Long-term leases can be an effective means of pr6ser- ving the status quo until other actions, such as those requiring either funds or legislative changes,.can be accomplished. Legislation - Various proposals for natural areas protection techniques have been drafted and reviewed by legal advisors. One recommended proposal would establish a system of natural preserves in Rhode Island. Some others recommended for further investigation are: 1. Legislation which would establish differential assessments for rural land at valuations based on current use rather than poten- tial use as an inducement for owners of natural areas to retain them in an undisturbed state. 2. Establishment of a State Registry of Natural Areas similar to the present State Registry of Historic Places. Administration and management could be done by the Rhode Island Natural Areas ,Council. Iriclusion'in the registry would automatically protect certain lands from development. 3. Legislation enabling groups of citizens or a community to create semi-public local land trusts. Such a group would determine what assets there are in their community and how to protect and manage them. Zoning Ordinances - Zoning is only as useful as the enforcement exercised by local governments. Cities and towns should enact clear and legally sustainable open space and natural area zoning ordinances and regulations with special provisions for environmentally protective zoning. The technique of Transferable Development Rights (TDR) should be studied for use in protection of natural areas. This concept allows higher density development if the developer also buys open space adja- cent to this development. Distinct.zoning districts for open space would have to be determined in the communities before this plan is im- plemented. Some of the advantages of TDR are to: balance growth and development, while not excluding either; preserve in current use open spacei natural areas, forest land, etc., without public payment for damages; and relieve the burden of controlling land use solely through public acquisition of land. Title Exchange Exchange of title for lands can be accomplished when private interests own rights to a natural area. Inventories of state and town owned land should be made to identify lands with poten- tial for such exchanges so that individuals do not suffer a loss. An example of this technique is the exchange of recreation rights with the state in return for the acquisition of the Arcadia State Manage- ment Area as part of the Wood River Reservoir system. Gifts -.Although not commonplace, the tax incentives may serve as sufficient inducement to the private owner in some cases. However, most people would apparently rather donate land or interests therein 05-04.10 to private trusts than to government agencies. Creation of a statewide Rhode Island Natural Heritage Council is urged that would promote spe- cific protection guidepoints thus encouraging people to put land in public trust. Management agreement between owner and protection agency Under this agreement, ownership remains with the individual with specific allowable uses being granted to the protection agency. Reliance on integrity of owner - This protection technique is the least reliable since there is no formal or binding agreement and. protection over any time frame is always tenuous. However, it is the only method available in some cases. E. Dispersal of Information One'function of the project is to act as a clearinghouse or coor- dinator of information. Various organizations and agencies have in- quired about natural areas, mainly for planning purposes. A natural areas booklet is being prepared explaining the objectives of the in- ventory, containing text, maps, and pictures. It is also essential that local conservation commissions become involved to a. much greater extent in the protection and management of natural areas within their jurisdictions. Educational programs should also be established, especially for land owners, but also as-part of the curriculum of schools and col- leges. 05-04-03 Technical Paper 47: "The Potential Values and Problems in Using Water Supply Reservoirs and Watersheds for Recreational Purposes" Prompted by a major drought in 1966 and the growing concern over efficient use of land, increased attention has been given to the provi- sion of additional water resources. -Because of the increased land area required for these watersheds, the possibility of allowing recreational use of some facilities has also been proposed. This paper examines both sides of this issue, questioning whether multi-tisage is both technically feasible and necessary in Rhode Island. The methodology used consisted of a review of existing literature on the subject,"interviews with con- cerned interests, and analysis of all information. Although all water suppliers, both public and private, control and maintain their own reservoirs, the Rhode Island Water Resources Board has review power over any new construction or additions. It is under their review and approval that new sites are acquired and developed. The state Department of Health has responsibility to determine the standards of water quality. State law and departmental policy prohibit dumping, swimming, and washing in waters used as public sup- plies, but these activities frequently occur despite such rulings. Recreation activities such as fishing, boating, and hiking are not mentioned in the state's law. 05-04.11 Rhode Island has 27 surface water impoundments totaling an area of 7,191 acres. However, the total land area of one reservoir may be more than 4 times the water surface area. For example, the water area of the Scituate Reservoir is 3,633 acres, but total land area is over 15,000 acres. Water supply reservoirs which have been proposed - the Big, Wood, Nipmuc, Tarkiln, and Moosup - would require considerable amounts of land, with the Wood River alone requiring up to 3,000 acres within the Arcadia State Management Area. It is this problem of allo- cating such a high percentage of the state's scarce land resources to one use, that urges the consideration of multiple usage of these reservoirs. A. The Case Opposing Reservoir Recreation The position opposing recreational use of reservoirs is perhaps best expressed by the American Water Works Association (AWWA). Their policy states that recreational use of reservoirs could he harmful and result in increased costs to the public. However, AIVIVA also indicates that multi-use of watersheds should be considered by urban utilities and cites a study in Washington state that concluded that recreational acti- vity did not affect water quality. At present, all forms of recrea- tion @rithin primary reservoir lands are opposed by the Rhode Island Water Resources Board. The only modification it would consider is allowing non-body contact activities on secondary reservoirs. The Providence Water Supply Board (PWSB) adheres to a policy in con- formance with that of.th@e AI%11VA. Their report gives examples of con- taminaied water from two incidents in New Hampshire in the early S01s. Add'itional problems cited are vandalism, increased expenditures in development and maintenance, litter, and liability for disease trace- able to,the water supply. Despite these criticisms, the Board feels that five supplementary reservoirs of the Scituate complex could be opened to boating and fishing under the management of the Department of Natural Resources and the approval of the PWSB. To date, terms have not been reached between these two agencies, and no affirmative action has been taken. B. The Case Supporting Reservoir Recreation If the proposed Big and Wood River Reservoir system is imple- mented, the land deficit created in existing management areas will"be well over 9,000 acres. This plus general trends showing water-based activities to be one of the most popular and.fastest growing of all outdoor activities, would place a heavier demand on existing fresh water facilities.. Being bordered by both a bay and an ocean, Rhode Island has an ample supply of salt water resources for recreational purposes. However, because of the high incidence of private ownership of the saltwater shoreline, transportation and other constraints, the state's inland fresh water bodies do receive recreational use. It has been recommended therefore, that all lakes and ponds larger than S acres 05-04.12 should be a Iccessible to the public. Although nearly one half th e state's lakes and ponds within this category are partially owned by the state, in most cases ownership is limited to small portions of the shoreline. Therefore, full implementation of this policy would require a costly acquisition program. It is viewed as more financially feasible to avoid land acquisition costs by utilizing a reservoir recreation program where already publicly owned site's.are employed.. Reservoir usage in the nation seems to follow a regional pat- tern; generally recreational activities are prohibited in the northeast and the three western states (California, Oregon, and Washington), but accepted in the majority of the nation, with only 8 percent of all reser- voirs excluding recreational use. There have been recent trends in the northeast and the west towards acceptance of multi-use as seen in Con- necticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, and California. C. 'Health Considerations .Many of the state's reservoirs are used for recreation or have unsewered development at their shores despite the law's restrictions. The extent of such activity is not known, but to date there have been ,no cases of contamination attributed to such usage. One study made of Carr's Pond, part of the proposed Big River Reservoir, shows its quality to be consistent with the Department of Health's classification as a Class A water body, in spite of its shoreline development and .recreational use. The Providence Water Supply Board operates one of the most modern and effective treatment plants in the country at the Scituate Reser- voir. This wat.er, which supplies Providence and several surrounding communities., is recognized to be of a very high quality, a standard not quite met by the other treatment plantsin the state. The proposed Big and Wood River Reservoirs would receive the same type'of treatment as that of Scituate. These processes are considered sufficient to also treat waters open to recreational use. D_ Conclusions and Recommendations Recreational,use of the state's reservoirs and watersheds is technically feasible, and no further treatment would be necessary. How- ever, a problem that requires further study is the effect of gasoline in water. Another question is, how many existing treatment plants are now operating at their optimum level, and would be taxed by additional purification requirements resulting from recreational usage? To determine if a need for recreational use of reservoirs does exist, certain critical questions must be answered: 1. Do present or potential patterns of land development and rate of land absorption justify such action? 05-04 .13 2. Does the present or future level of recreation a nd tourism demand justify such action? Car eful demand studies should be made to determine if the concept of reservoir recreation is viable. On the assumption that these demand' studies indicate the need for the multiple use of watersheds, an edu- cational and public relations program must be initiated if the public is to accept such recreational use. The cautious position taken by the Water Resources Board and the Providenc.e Water Supply Board re- flects the public's attitude toward their water supply's use. With passage of the 1964 Big River-Wood River Reservoir Site Acquisition Act, the General Assembly reserved the right to decide the usage of these reservoirs regardless of who controls development. Amend- ment or repeal of this legislation is urged in favor of a controlled multi-use program which would allow appropriate recreational usage except swimming on secondary reservoirs. It is also recommended that an experimental program be initiated in order to evaluate the effects of all recreational activities, including swimming. 05- 04-04 Report of the Trail Advisory Committee The report of the Trail Advisory Committee makes recommendations to the state on the institution of a trail program in Rhode Island. The report emphasizes the Toles and responsibilities of state, fed- eral and local governmen ts, and private interests. The committee was appointed by the Director of the Department of Natural Resources in response to a growing concern regarding the need for a statewide trails program. Such a need was particularly stressed by the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation's review of the State- wide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan; the Outdoor Recreation Resources Commission; passage of the National Trails Systems Act; the Southeastern New England Study of Water and Related Land Resources, and the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation's Nationwide Plan. A. Opportunities This first part of the study investigates where paths could be made, who has jurisdiction over such areas, and how they relate to state and federal legislation and funding. Primary responsibility should fall to the state in initiating a trails system utilizing state- owned recreation areas wherever possible, as in the example of the proposed North-South Trail concept which would connect eight state management areas located in the western rural region of Rhode Island. As large gaps appear between these recreational lands it will become necessary to investigate other opportunities to serve as vital links in the total trail length. Federal legislation provides funding for bicycle trails con- structed independently of the highway system under the Department of Transportation's Federal Aid Highway Act. Maximum use of the existing OS-04.14 highway system could be made as indicated by a composite of bikeway proposals put forth by the Narragansett Bay Wheelmen, the Department of Natural Resources, and the Department of Transportation. These proposals are only guidelines to the placement of routes, and more* detailed plans by these agencies consistent with the Federal Aid Ifigh- way Program Manual are recommended. Further guidelines for development of a bikeway plan include: 1. Clarification of terms and definitions. 2. An outline of major and minor corridors throughout the state. 3. Parameters for the integration of bike routes within these corridors. 4. Improvement of existing roads. 5. A standardized sign system. 6. The Department of Transportation's acquisition of needed property. 7. Reuse of abandoned roads and potential highway sites as bike routes. 8. Plan presentations by the local and private sectors to the Trail Advisory Committee, the Departrent of Transpor- tation, and the Department of Natural Resources. 9. Safe alternatives to highway routes investigated by the Department of Transpottation. 10. The development and coordination of the Department of Natural Resources bike system with that of the Department of Transportation's and adjacent, local system's. 11. Development of a trail system of lengths between 10 and 65 miles by the Department of Natural Resources in conjunc- tion with the Department of Transportation. 12. Publication of maps, safety instructions, and information by the Department of Transportation, Trail Advisory Com- mittee and Department of Natural Resources. Review processes for any facility provided for in the Federal Aid Highway Act would include a continuing, comprehensive, and. cooperative planning program sensitive to local community needs set up by the Department of Transportation, the Statewide Planning Program, and the R.I. Public Transit Authority. Statewide Planning would also act as 05-04.15 a clearinghouse" for any project in order to maintain planning con- sistency. Other state holdings should be considered as linkages or as a part of trail plans. Examples of lands that would be valuable as non-motorized areas are holdings at the University of Rhode Island, the Davies Vocational.School, and the proposed Big River and Tarkiln Reservoirs. Five other opportunities are suggested as potential components of the trail system: 1) Utility company easements and rights-of-way could act as valuable linkages between urban and rural locales. They have the further advantage of already being cleared, thus making the conversion to hiking or riding trails an easy matter. The committee urges the Department of Natural Resources to further investigate these lands and arrange leases. The New England Power Company, already in- volved in these matters, states that a policy for improving the appear- ance of overhead transmission lines has led to the usage and licensing of many rights-of-way for such activities as baseball, tennis, play- grounds, hiking, and bridle paths. 2) Similar to utility easements, are wastewater treatment facilities and rights-of-way which are parti- cularly suited to serve as open space or to Provide access to water bodies. The committee urges that multi-use options offered by such areas'be considered by cities and towns before the preplanning, design, and acquisition stages of sewer construction. 3) a third suggestion is the use of abandoned railroad rights-of-way. They could serve as highly accessible linkages connecting urban lands with suburban open -space, .and could utilize irregularly shaped parcels that would otherwise g .o unused. While the National Trails Systems Act of 1968 encourages such usage, Rhode Island has already developed the Trestle Trail route which runs for 8.15 miles along an abandoned railroad right-of-way in the west-centy'al portion of the.state. 4) The fourth opportunity is the planning of trails and paths in new residential districts or areas and as part of rehabilitation plans' of existing areas. These plans should connect with the surrounding network, and be marked in a consistent manner. 5) The many streams, ponds, and rivers in the state could be used as water-based trails for canoes, rafts, and other boats, possibly in conjunction with parallel lanA-based trails. The Wood and Pawcatuck Rivers. are examples of such 'corridors as they connect with state management areas. Also, due to Rhode Island's unique development as a manufacturing state, there are many opportunities for urban water routes at mill sites such as the proposed facility along the Blackstone Canal in.Uxbridge and Northbridge, Massachusetts. The Trail Advisory Committee suggests developing this plan in 'Rhode Island in conjunction with Massachusetts., B. Problems and Needs The vital role that private lands and facilities have for a comprehensive trail and recreation plan is emphasized. To encourage participation of the private sector, the passage of legislation limit- ing the liability of landowners.who permit their land and water to be used for recreation purposes is urged. Passage of this law is crucial to any complete and useful development of a trails system, particularly as it affects urban regions., From this act, the broad definition Riven to land would greatlv increase thp niimhp-r nnl t-vnpc OS-04.16 of areas that could be utilized. At the same time, the landowner would be completely free of liability for any involvement with the use of the land. This legislation should also define land as including water courses, a topic that deserves special mention. Up to now the status of rivers and streams has been a point of dispute. Unless the water- way is navigable, the landowner has the right to block all use. Inves- tigation is needed into the interpretation of definitions and legal precedents. Further legisla,tion should provide for not only the free use of waterways for recreation but also the protection of the rights of the landowner. The subject of atrail marking system is extensively studied and proposals for specific designs and directions for use are made. Broken down into two categories, "markers" designate foot, horse, and @recreational vehicle trails, and "signs" designate trails within the right-of-way of the state highway system. Authority to implement this marking system is assigned to the Department of Natural Resources. Since there are no existing rules and regulation-s specifically pertaining to a trail system, the Trail. Advisory Committee recommends that the Department of Natural Resources either amend present rules for state management areas or draft a new set. Either approac 'h re- .quires a public hearing. An interim set of rules and regulations could act as a basis for further plans. A major area of concern of the report is bicycles and bike trails. Three main courses of action are suggested: 1) The formation of a legislative commission to review bicycle laws; 2) an outline for implementation of a statewide bicycle education program; and 3)-de- tails for a program of licensing and registration under the jurisdic- tion of the Department of Natural Resources. It is also suggested that the Department of Natural Resources or the Tourist Promotion Division of the Department of Economic Development publish a bike manual---- incluAing an.index and map of trails, a set of rules and regulations, and g list of both public and private bicycle agencies.. As this report is only an outline for a program, the committee urges the appointment of a Trail Coordinator, established within the Department of Natural Resources, to conduct more exhaustive relsearch, implement policies, and act as liaison between state, municipal, and private interests. Finally the committee sees the necessity for the continuation of the Trails Advisory Committee and suggests it should be expanded to include the Department of Transportation's Divisions of Motor Vehicles and Planning. C. Trail Development Program As a course of action in implementing the trails program, the state was divided into four major priority sections, then further OS-04.17 broken down into smaller map quadrangles. Work in the first priority area has already been completed, with a hiking, horseback and recrea- tional vehicle trail being developed in the Arcadia State @Janagement Area. Some bike paths are included but a major plan is not expected until completion of the proposed state bikeway plan to be undertaken by the Department of Transportation. The report defines these trails, lists their symbols, and suggests placements for signs, s.anita'ry.faci- lities, and parking areas. 05-04-0.5 Elderly Recreation.Needs The basis for this study was the assumption that recreation for the elderly will increase in importance as two trenas continue: 1) the importance of the role of recreation to every citizen due to increased leisure time, and 2) the rapid growth rate of the elderly population.continues to be one of the fastest of any group. This -report examines how the recreational needs of the elderly in Rhode Island are being met and suggests ways to improve participation. The resea rch for this study is taken from primary sources. Two surveys were used, the 1974-75 Rhode Island Diary Survey and the In- ventory of El,derly Recreation Facilities which was conducted for the purposes of this plan. ,The low participation rates found in the Diary Survey are attri- buted to three major problems confronting the elderly: 1) predomi- nantly low income, 2) restrictions due to health, and 3) lack of trans- portation. There are several ways to overcome these problems. The Depart- ment of Natural Resources, with the cooperation of other agencies and state and local governments, is in the position to offer opportunities that will help improve the quality of life for what has been a neglected portion of the population.. A. Background Information Population: 17.4 percent of the state's population is 60 or older and 12.4 percent of the state's population is 65 and older. Between 1970 and 1975, the growth rate for those 6S and over was 1.5 percent, the fastest growing population group in Rhode Island whose overall population growth rate was 0.3 percent for the same time period. Distribution: 73,503 people 65 and older live in the state's ten largest communities, 71 percent of Rhode Island's elderly popula- tion as compared to 66 percent of the total population. The greatest number of elderly live in Providence, East Providence, Pawtucket, Crans- ton, Warwick, and Woonsocket, totaling 56 percent of the state's elderly population. These municipalities contain 131 rest homes, housing Pro- jects, and social centers, or SO percent of all facilities servicing the elderly in Rhode IslAnd. OS-04-18 Employment and Income: The percentage of employeJ men and women 65 And older is smaller than any other group of legal working, age. In the central cities of Providence, Pawtucket, Warwick, and Cranston 26.5 percent of elderly men and 10.8 percent of elderly women were employed. Retirement accounts for the large percentage of unemploy- ment since 72.9 percent of the elderly population in the central cities receive income from social security benefits. However, these benefits do not provide an adequate income. The average income is far below that of othermajor wage earning groups - $5,696 for those 60 and older, as compared to $8,814 for 24-44 year olds, and $9,3S9 for 45-59 year olds. In the central cities, 24 percent of the elderly population is below the poverty level. Health: Results of the National Health Survey show that 2 out of 5 older.persons are limited by some chronic condition as compared to 1 out of 20 people under 45. In the survey entitled "Inventory of Elderly Recreation Facilities," approximately 30 percent of the rest homes surveyed stated that their residents are too physically or mentally debilitated to engage in recreational activities. The capabilities of the majority of rest home inhabitants surveyed is best considered in regard to responses to the inventory survey (see Table 05-04(l) ). Accessibility: Although there are no exact figures on the number of elderly persons operating cars in Rhode Island, the high proportion who use public transportation indicates that car ownership is low. With the exception of students, elderly are the heaviest users of public transportation. The state has sore free public transit and para-transit operations, but in terms of recreation, they make a minimal impact, since urban bus routes do not access recreation areas, and para-transit services place a low priority on recreational trips. B. Interpretation of the Diary Survey The elderly are among the least active participants in 12 out of 15 recreational activities measured by the Rhode Island Diary Survey. In 3 activities, the elderly are among the most act 'ive participants. Most frequent participation by those 60 and over occurs, respectively, in sightseeing, salt water swimming, and picnicking. However, they still participate significantly less than other age groups in these. activities. Within the sports of boating and golfing, the elderly parti- cipate in a ratio nearly equal to that of younger age groups, These activities are only moderately strenuous which may account for their popularity among middle and high income elderly. Accordingly, the very strenuous activities of bicycling, tennis, and horseback riding have negligible elderly participation. C+ :4 " Fl PA 0 CD @' @j Fl to :4 (D FA :T 0) v 0 4 0 0 9; 1 ct. H @_.

Although camping, salt water fishing, and outdoor games have the same partici- pation rates as hiking and birdwatching, the elderly are among the least active participants compared to other age groups in these acti- vities. These activities do not bave strong income correlations, nor are they more strenuous than some more popular Activities, but lack of accessibility may be a deterrent. Fresh water swimming may be un- popular for two reasons: 1) these sites are usually dominated by younger persons, and 2)-the sites preferred by the elderly may be inaccessible. Inaccessibility probably restricts participation in fresh water fishing, also. The elderly would be expected to show higher participation.rates by the amount of tire available to them. However, low income, lack of transportation, and to a lesser extent, health limitations, all act as deterrents. C.. Inventory of Elderly Recreation Facilities In the early stages of analysis of elderly recreation, the con- sistently low participation rates suggested that this segment of the population be considered as a special interest group. It was necessary to know what limitations, if any, were affecting this group besides the relatively easily derived characteristics of income and accessibi- lity. A survey was designed based on two assumptions: 1) A signifi- cant number of elderly persons are dependent upon housing projects, rest homes, and senior centers for their recreational needs, and 2) the elderly engage in recreational activities that are different in nature from those analyzed in the Diary Survey. The survey was sent to the directors of every senior housing project, rest home, and activity center in the state. The first part of the survey listed possible facilities the institution may have. The second part asked if the institution sponsored any activities outside of that institution and what facilities were thought to be necessary. A space for additional comments was also provided. The survey form is presented in the Appendix. The survey comprised a sample totaling 13,277 persons. Since response was excellent, data could be assumed to be representative on a statewide basis. The number of elderly either residing in or serviced by these institutions is, then, approximately 28,000 or 19 percent of @hode Island's elderly population. The number of rest home residents in Rhode Island is about 6,000 or 4 percent of the elderly population and only 1/3 of 1 percent of the state's population. It would seem then that the number of elderly who are infirm or non-ambulatory may be often overstated. Therefore, infirmity cannot be considered a prime 05-04.21 factor restricting the participation of elderly groups. The bulk of the survey was concerned with what. recreational activities.people in the'se institutions engaged in based onfacilities provided. Table 05-04(l) is a compilation of facilities offered by each institution. Elderly recreational needs are assessed through the responses to this inventory together with the sponsored activities and needed facilities. 77 percent of the institutions sponsor outside activities, but rates of sponsorship vary with the type of institution. Rest homes offer the most variety of activity, but attendance rates tend to reflect the different states of health and interests Of the residents. Theater, movies, or dinner parties are frequently sponsored while dances and bowling rank among the least sponsored. The trend,here indicates a varied but predominantly inactive group limited by physical restric- tions. Housing projects sponsor fewer activites than rest homes but attendance is greater. Theater/movie outings and sightseeing are the most popular activities.involving approximately one-half of the residents.' About one-third of the residents attend local community groups indicating about twice the degree of social involvement as those in rest homes.. Bowling draws a moderate degree of participa- tion; dances, a negligible degree. Social centers show a significant.trend to more active activi- ties. 70 percent of the members participate in bowling. Centers also showed high participation rates in the "active" facilities in the first part of the survey. 44 percent of the members used swimming pools, 23 percent beach areas,,and 27 percent exercise or gym equipment. Other high ranking sponsored activities were attending theater/films and bus/car Tides. Sightseeing was popular, while parties.and picnics ranked last. D. Conclusions Several conclusions can be drawn from the survey data. They are listed as follows: 1. The proportion of elderly people will continue to be one of the fastest growing population groups until 1990 when growth will taper off.. 2. Most elderly live in the central cities of Providence, East Providence, Pawtucket, Cranston, Warwick, and Woonsocket, and this trend to urbanized areas will continue. 3. The elderly are mainly low income and outside of the labor force. There is also a significant proportion (24 percent) of the el- derly living below the poverty level in.the state. OS-04.22 4. Most elderly have some physical disability although the deg ree of infir mity varies greatly and is often overstated. 5. The elderly are limited in transportation for recreation. Few own cars, scheduled buses do not adequately access recreation areas, and para-tran.sit operations place a low priority on recreational trips. 6. The elderly participate more frequently in sightseeing, salt water swimming, and picnicking than in other activites, but less than most other age groups. 7. Participation rates are comparatively high in birdwatching, hiking, boating, and golfing; comparatively low in fresh and salt water fishing, camping, outdoor games, and fresh water swimming; and negligible.in bicycling, horseback riding and tennis. 8. Except for the most str6nuous activities, participation in all activities is considered below the potential. 9. Trips to the theateror movies are popularly sponsored activities in all three types of institutions as are sightseeing trips and bus/car rides. 10. Social centers are involved to a greater extent with.the. more active sports such as swimming and bowling than are housing pro- jects or rest homes. ll.. Transportation is the most needed facility for the elderly among all three types of institutions. 12. Space for activities, both indoor and outdoor, is needed by all three types ofinstitutions. 13. Educational or rehabilitative programs are needed in various forms by all three types of institutions. E. Recommendations 1. Any transit program designed to solve accessibility problems for certain types of facilities should include adequate provisions to satisfy the needs of the elderly as a special interest group. Finan- cing should be provided where possible, by state and federal monies. These buses could also,serve other special interest groups such as. handicapped and low income persons. 2. Existing para-transit operations that service the elderly should be coordinated so that duplicating functions can beeliminated, thus allowing for additional services for recreational trips. 05-04.23 3. "6511 clubs such as the one in operation at Goddard Park should be instituted at riding trails, beaches, campsites,.and group picnic sites. Details of eligibility for such clubs can be decided at a later date, perhaps after trial programs. 4. Shows suited.to elderly interests and tastes should be scheuled periodically at state facilities that provide entertainment Fort Adams, Diamond Hill, Colt Park, etc. Coordination should be es- tablished with the Division of Aging or other senior groups or spokesmen to decide upon the nature or frequency of these and other special programs for the elderly. 5. Certain areas of interest in state parks, particularly those in the metropolitan region, should be designed and constructed so that they are safe and easily accessible to an elderly person. Such innovations might include natu@e trails and equipping certain sites with railings, benches, and comfort stations. Such facilities could also be used by environmental educati-on groups and the handi- capped. 6. Existing sites suitable for urban or vest pocket.parks that are near concentrations of elderly people should be identified. Coordination on the state, municipal, and neighborhood levels would help locate, finance, and construct these parks in conjunction with senior groups. These parks should be well equipped. with shade or shelter, tables, and perhaps bocce or game courts. 7. The state should encourage private operators of recreational facilities to offer discounts to elderly people. Amusement parks, zoos, golf courses, clubs, tour groups, etc. are examples of some of the enterprises that could be contacted. 05-04.90 0.5-04-09 Special Studies' Recommendations I* The State of Rhode Island should, according to recommended schedules presented in the Bay Islands Park Feasibility Study, initiate the development of presently owned state land, and establish a priority program for acquiring those remaining.parcels of land constituting the complete park system. Establish a vehicle within state government to effectively coor- dinate natural areas programs on both the state and Now England level. 0 A definitive study that generates reliable statistical data should be accomplished to determine the degree of impact of various recreation activities upon the water quality of water supply reser- voirs. 0 Develop a statewide system of trails following the recommenda- tions proposed in the Trail Advisory Report, giving special emphasis 0 to establishing recreational and commuter bikeways. Improve the accessibility of the elderly to recreation sites and increase their participation by modification of existing programs and provision of special needs programs as required.. OS-05.1 05-05 Special Problems and Considerations Statistical data can and do provide much of the basis for future planning. Demand studies, by nature, are broadly based in approach and cannot be expected to address every facet of recreation planning that could be evaluated by qualitative measures. Other de- cisions must be based on knowledge of the outdoor recreational field in Rhode Island, and serve to-assist in recognizing the need for spe- cific assessments. These assessments, or special considerations, often deal with problems that are directly related to social as well as recreational concerns. These identified problem areas serve as guide- posts for the future outdoor recreation, conservation and open space planning effort. Specifically, they constitute an additional frame- work for establishing objectives and priorities relative to future planning work programs. In s6me cases these problem areas could hamper recreational development. Most problems cannot be solved by the state, federal or local governmental agencies alone. Rather, they require joint action.. Some of the more important problems are considered here. 05-05-01 The Effects of the Property Tax on Privately Owned Recreational Lands Various pressures caused by land use development are endangering the preservation and conservation of privately owned open space as well as formal recreation lands (i.e., golf courses, campsites, skiing areas). The inventory accomplished for this plan uncovered many impor- tant facts concerning recreation supply, one of which is the major influence of private enterprise. The majority of golfing, skiing, horseback riding, and camping facilities are privately provided. Even the more common day-use activities, such as swimming, are accommodated to a significant extent at private facilities. The continuation of this source of recreation supply is directly related to the future of the property tax system. If continued in its present form, the property tax will force many private recreation enterprises to convert their lands to uses yielding greater financial returns or to sell outri,ght to other in- terests. This situation is most common in urban areas and lands on their periphery. When the transition from recreation to other uses occurs, government must fill the void or a supply deficit will develop. Neither of these situations is as desirable as the continued provision of selected outdoor recreation facilities by private enterprise. Various aspects of the entire property tax system should be re- evaluated in an effort to develop a more equitable form of taxation. Two possible alternatives are "preferential assessments" and "deferred tax payments."

The result- ing sedimentation clogs and fills storm sewers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs and may adversely affect water quality, fish and wildlife propagation, and in general, limits the use of water for most benefi- cial purposes., Since water related activities comprise such a large proportion of the recreational opportunities in Rhode Island, a. de- tailed study of the impact of soil erosion, as well as other non-point sources of pollution, and. alternatives for remedial action is necessary. The following could provide primary information resources needed when considering further action: Fresh water wetlands legislation U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service R.I. Water Resources Board Areawide Wastewater Treatment Management Program R.I. Association of Conservation Commissioners 05-05-03 The Impact of Historic Preservation on Recreation Planning Because of the increasing development pressures being placed on the state's natural resources it is becoming imperative that re- creation and open space areas be utilized to their maximim extent while still preserving the ecological balance of the facilities and the surrounding area. This is especially critical in the urbanized areas of the state since opportunities for securing additional open space for,this purpose are very limited, and usually economically prohi- bitive. In view of these circumstances some potential conflicts over the best use of certain areas should be recognized so that appropriate actions can be taken. In instances where large areas suitable for, or presently being used as, active recreation facilities also' have historical importance, it will be necessary to establish a comprehensive coordinating mecha- nism to ensure that the interests of both historic preservation and 05-05.3 outdoor recreation. are balanced. This policy is reflected in the most recent plan for historic preservation: Coordination of preservation planning with other plans and programs in the state is essential. The Historical Preser- vation Commission recognizes that close cooperation'can encourage mutual understanding of planning objectives, identify and resolve conflicts at an early stage, lead to inclusion of preservation recommendations in development programs, and insure that the Commission's preservation planning reports refiect.an understanding of a community's broad planning needs. ((43:100-103)) Over the years, historic sites and areas long recognized for their role in providing much of the tourist appeal in the state have also contributed immeasurably to the aesthetic enjoyment of Rhode Is- landers while providing many opportunities for passive recreation. In crucial urban areas, where previous land use decisions have often not provided enough open space to serve the population, it is essential that optimum use be made of the existing supply. Although extremely successful cooperative efforts between the Department of Natural Resources and the Historical Preservation Commis sion have occurred many times as required by individual situations ,.(the most notable example being the development of Fort Adams .State Park), it is felt that a more formal arrangement for coordination is necessary. Some form of inter-agency agreement that can serve as a permanent guide for appropriate actions by both state agencies while protecting the vested interests of each, should be adopted. The following could provide primary information resources needed when considering further action: Historical Preservation Commission Department Of Natural Resources Statewide Planning Program National Park Service, U.S. Department-of the Interior 05-05-04 Use of Land and Water in Flood Hazard Areas for Out-@ door Recreational, Purposes The flood plains and-related areas along Rhode Island's major streams and coastline provide an excellent base for the development of special recreational opportunities. Proper development of such lands for recreational uses can be compatible with their retention as floodways during periods of high water flows. In terms of economic cost and soil suitability, it can be shown that flood plains are areas which should be retained in their natural state for recreational use, aesthetic enjoyment, soil stabilization, 05-05.4 and water runoff zones, and s hould remain open for use by the public at large. Higher elevations should be utilized for commercial and residential areas. Attempting to utilize.flood prone areas for recreational pur- poses necessitates solving problems of accessibility, jurisdiction, and local regulations.' What is needed is a comprehensive study of all aspects of flood area use to include recreational and open space purposes. The following could provide primary information resources needed when considering further action: Stateivide Planning Program Department of Natural Resources New-England River Basins Conmissiot National Flood Insurance Program Fresh water wetlands act Municipal ordinances 05-05-05 Restrictions Relative to the Recreational Use of the State's Navigable Waterways Historically, when considering the use of inland navigable water- ways for recreational use, there has frequently been confusion concern- in,g jurisdiction over and restrictions placed on the state's water bodies. It is necessary to determine if there are existing legal barriers block- ing the flow of recreational opportunities along Rhode Island's rivers and streams. Once the legal restraints have been evaluated, it will be easier to attack the physical barriers which impair the use of waterways for recreational purposes. - The following could provide primary information resources needed when considering further action: General Laws of Rhode Island U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Legislation in other states 05-05-06 The Significance of Rhode Island's Wetlands Fresh and salt water wetlands contribute significantly to Rhode Island's outdoor environment by holding waters from rain and melting snow. This storage helps prevent flooding and aids in replenishing the groundwater system and in supplying surface reservoirs. In addi- tion, wetlands provide habitat for many kinds of wildlife and serve as valuable'open space for recreation and conservation. As.a rising population creates pressures or land, services, and facilities, the state's wetlands have increasingly been encroached upon by development. Recognizing this, the General Assembly has' de- cre.ed that wetlands be protected by adopting several state laws. A. Intertidal.Salt Plarshes This act and. amendments form Chapter 11- "46.1 of the General Laws. The basis of the act is the section of the state Constituti n wEich guarantees the "free right of fishery." The legislature finds that this right cannot be enjoyed unless both finfish and shellfish are available. Intertidal salt marshes are found essential to the nurture of fish. Permits must be obtained from the Department of Natural Resources before dumping mud, dirt, or rubbish in an inter- tidal salt marsh, or before excavating or otherwise disturbing the ecology of a marsh. The Director of Natural Resources must refuse to issue a permit if, in his judgment,.the action proposed. would dis- turb the ecology of the marsh. B. Coastal Wetlands This state law, governing the use of coastal wetlands, was adopted in 1965 and appears in.Sections 2-1-13 to 2-1-17 of the General Laws. This act is also based on guaranteeing the "free right of__f`1-s_F-_ ery" by statute. It restricts the use of coastal wetlands through the exercise of police power and amounts to a form of zoning. The Depart- .ment of Natural Resources is authorized to prepare a written order designating a protected salt marsh and the uses pernitted in the marsh. The order, after certain procedures are followed, takes precedence over local zoning and other regulations and permits. The law provides that if an owner of a salt marsh is damaged by such an order, he may claim compensation in the Superior Court.. No orders have been issued under this act. C. Fresh Water Wetlands This act, passed in 1971, appears in Sections 2-1-18 to 2-1-24 of the General Laws. The act is based on alleviation'of flooding and on the public interest in the value of these areas for ground water supplies, wildlife habitats, and recreation. The act, also exercise of police power, prohibits excavating, draining, filling, placing certain materials, diverting.water' flows, diking, damming, changing or otherwise altering any,fresh water wetland without the approval of the Department of Natural Resources and the city or town council which has jurisdiction. ((5)) In addition to the above legislation, another act, forming chapter 46-23 of the General Laws, establishes a management mechanism consisting of a Coastal Resou Management Council and staff. In- cluded in the Council's powers and.duties is the primary authority over activity in intertidal salt marshes. The Council has initiated a study which will result in a comprehensive evaluation of all inter- tidal salt marshes in the state. 05-10.S.90 os-05-19 Special Problems' and Co nsiJerations' Recommendations *Determine the degree of impact of the present tax structure in Rhode Island on various types of open space land under the juri dic tion of the private sector. The effects of non-point source pollution., such as.soil ero- sion, should be studied to determine its impact on the qual.ity of out- door recreation, conservation and open space areas. OAdopt a formal Arrangement between the Rhode Island Historical Preservation Commission and the Department of Natural Resources for the purpose of facilitating the orderly development of areas that have both historic and recreational sianificarce. Complete a flood plain management study and examine alternative protection and regulation techniques for flood prone areas. 0 Investigate the jurisdictional and legal restrictions relative to the recreational use of the state's navigable waterways. eDevelop a comprehensive method for the systematic evaluation of the state's wetland. resources. 0 Complete a feasibility study for the establishment of a scenic and recreational river system in the State. 0 For the promotion of environmental awareness, encourage the Department of Education to foster the use and study of appropriate natural areas as part of the educational curriculum in all school districts. 05-05.6 Salt water wetlands seem to be properly provided for through legislation and study. However, there is still a need for.a compre- hensive compilation of data in a consistent format for fresh water wetlands in Rhode Island. The present situation demands analysis of individual wetlands as proposals or projects that may threaten an area occur. This evaluation, conducted by the Department of Natural Resources in accordance with the Fresh Water Wetlands Act, can be in- advertently biased due to the so-called "economic benefit" pressures of the particular project. To developthis eval uation program for fresh water wetlands the following could provide some of the needed informational resources: Department of Natural Resources Department of Health R.I. Water Resources Board Stat ewide Planning Program Coastal Resources iManagement Council Coastal Resources Center, University of Rhode Island Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service General Laws of Rhode Island 05-05-07 Utilizing Rhode Island's Rivers for Scenic and Recreational Purposes Scenic and free-flowing rivers and streams are a valuable part of Rhode Island's outdoor heritage, providing opportunities for fishing, canoeing, swimming, and visual enjoyment. It is debatable whether Rhode Island should become part of the national scenic river program under the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Rather, there should be an investigation into the possibility of establishing a statewide rivers system. This study should be developed with regard to esta- blishment of river system criteria specifically tailored to the unique characteristics of the state's riverine resources. It should also present a long-range view of the potential of Rhode Island's streams in meeting our recreational, ecological and cultural needs. The re- sult should be.a unified state policy and action program for riverine resources. 'The following could provide pKimary information resources needed when considering further action: Department-of Natural Resources Statewide Planning Program U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Southeastern New England Study of Water and Related Land Resources National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act 05-05.7 05-05-08 The Lack of-an Environmental Awareness Program in Rhode Island Public attitudes concerning outdoor recreation and conserva- tion, and their supporting resources, have.a material impact on the success of Rhode Island's Recreation Guide Plan. Progress.toward environmental-quality, including provision of an adequate amount, quality and variety of.recreational opportunities, depends upon public support for that objective. Public support, in turn, depends upon citizen understanding of social, economic, political, and ecological inter-relationships. There should be an educational program directed -toward impressing,the public with its responsibility for helping to preserve, improve, 'Maintain and care for the outdoor environment, and toward helping the public take full advantage of-the experiences related to outdoor recreation activities. A comprehensive program for school children at all levels and the general public is needed to provide knowledge,, appreciation, awareness, and understanding of the interactions and interdependence between man and his surroundings. An environmental educational curri- culum in all of Rhode Island's school districts will fosterthe use and study of.appropriate natural.areas in the state. To assist in initiating this program the following information resources should be considered: Department of Education Department of Natural Resources Audubon Society of Rhode Island Programs existing in.other states State Conservation Committee . . ........ @n@@"T' 4 . .. . ......

It is based largely on the needs iden- 14 tified throughout other-sections of the document. These needs, ex- pressed as recommendations for action, have been grouped according to the particular jurisdiction which will have primary respon.- 14 sibility for the necessary action or under the jurisdiction which will receive the greatest impact through involvement in the proposed action. Many recommendations will require a joint coordinated effort by two or more levels of government or by both public and private se'ctors and although the initiation of a particular program may occur at the state planning level, the necessary follow up needed to secure the desired results and the immediate benefits derived justify the orientation of some recommendations to other participants. 09-01 Proposals for Action 09-01-01 Federal The federal funding forrula for the Land and Water Conservation Fund should be revised from its present 50-50 matching ratio to a substantially higher federal share. This would enable Rhode Island to more fully utilize federal monies being made available. Historically, the level of state and local funds allocated to recreation has been inadequate to match the federal share because.the resources available for all purposes consistently fall short of needs. This situation is A exacerbated for recreation because other federal programs demand much smaller state or local contributions. In many cases, this situation'effectively precludes high priority A assessments of recreation,,..,conservation, and open space projects. This is especially true at the local government level where fixed capital budgets are often strained and maximizing the matching capabilities of local revenue becomes of primary importance. Disparity in federal aid formulas may or may not be indicative of federal priorities, but they do exert an influence on state and. local decision- making which can only be adverse to the exercise of indepen- dent judgement. A Land and Water Conservation Fund guidelines should be modified to permit greater utilization of monies for renovation and/or major maintenance of inadequate existing recreation facilities. Many existing faci lities in older urban areas have lost their usefulness due to vandalism, misuse and abuse, or because the character of the neighborhood has undergone drastic changes. Whether a major change in a facility's scope or just,an up- grading of the existing equipment is needed to restore its usefulness, more specific guidelines are required to effectively address this ever-increasing problem. Availability of federal monies for this purpose should be made contingent upon the submission of innovative solutions to the problems of vanda- lism and abuse of facilities such as methods of access control, 'A traffic flow controls, curfews, etc. 09-01.2 09-01-02 State *Provide fresh water swimming; principally in the West and East Metropolitan areas, not only to mee supply deficiencies, but also as a substitute for salt water swimming deficiencies. The development of existing sites should take priority over the acquisition of new lands. The use of natural lakes and ponds is,encouraged over the construction of artificial ponds or pools' r Where natural lakes and ponds are not available in large state holdings, artificial ponds with aesthetic appeal should be con- structed. Where sites are not conducive to artificial ponds r in smaller municipal holdings, swimming pools should be built. A master plan for Lincoln Woods should be developed'inclu- ding expansion provisions for fresh water swimming. Improvements F ,of fresh water swimming facilities should be completed within 5 years. Development of Snake Den State Park should be initiated As it is located in an area of critical shortage. This Project F should be completed in 10 years with highest priority being given to fresh water swimming. The fresh water swimming potential at J.L. Curran State Park should be considered for development. Roger Williams Park also offers an ideal site which should be considered for the construc- tion of a pool or artificial pond. The Department of Natural Resources can provide to the City of Providence expertise in the development of a major fresh water swimming facility at Roger Williams Park. Fresh water swimming project applications from municipalities, especially those in metropolitan areas, should receive top priority. Assistance will be provided primarily through a funding match between the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation and the State. Ad *ditional funds could be made available to municipalities through the recreational development fund herein proposed and the Community.,Development Blocl@ Grant program of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. *Redistribute the use of salt water beaches to obtain a more uniform utilization. 'It is hypothesized in this plan that certain beaches are over- crowded while others are under-utilized because use is b adly dis- tributed. It is difficult to say why this occurs but a.principal reason may be the public's lack of knowledge of the' salt water beaches in the state available to them. The Department of Economic Development should.develop within the next year an information program similar to their boating guide and.camping guide, consisting of a brochure which lists all the salt water beaches in the state and facilities offered 09-01 3 at these beaches, fees charged at the beaches, and travel direc- tions. Brochures should be made available to the public through the Departnent of Economic Development (Tourist Promotion Divi- sion) and the Department of Natural Resources. Funding for the project would be entirely through state appropriation. After the first season of such a program, beach operators in all sectors of government and the private sector should be interviewed to .determine the degree of success of the program. Other means of-redistributing the use of salt water beaches should be studied. The project will be coordinated by the Depart- ment of Natural Resources planning division and should be initiated in January of 1976 and corpleted in,January of 1977. 0 Meet statewide supply deficiencies in tennis. These are most acute in the West Metropolitan and Northeast regions. Traditionally tennis court construction has been the responsi- bility of both the local and private sectors. Because of the fast growth-of tennis, and the overcrowded conditions exposed in the demand survey, the state should take the lead. in providing tennis facilities. Since the greatest deficiencies in tennis courts occur in the West "Ietropolitan and Northeast regions, they should. receive top priority. Opportunities for construction of outdoor tennis courts exist at all state owned -metropolitan parks including Lincoln Woods, Snake Den, Colt and Goddard. The master plan for Lincoln Woods and development plans for Colt and Goddard Prarks should include tennis facilities. The present master plan for Snake Den does provide for tennis courts. This development and construction should proceed in the next five years with primary financing arranged through Bureau of Outdoor Recreation and state funds. New acquisition of land for tennis is not proposed or necessary at this time. Because of the minimum amount of land required for tennis activity, the local sector has an excellent opportunity to respond to the need -at their small neighborhood parks. The City of Provi- dence and the towns of North Providence and Johnston presently show the greatest need. They should therefore have tennis faci- lities as one of their top priorities. Realistically, one cannot expect response from the private sector in meeting immediate needs for outdoor tennis courts. However, there may exist certain opportunities for the private sector to use marginal land for tennis court development. A number of courts at a reasonable fee may provide seasonal re- venues for the private entrepreneur. The Department of Natural Resources should be prepared to promote efforts by the private sector in this area 09-01.4 OImprove public transportation to recreation sites in and around urban areas. The Department of Natural Resources and Statewide Pla i .nning Program should initiate a study to determine if public transpor- tation provides effective access to major urban metropolitan recreation sites (i.e. Goddard Park, Lincoln Woods). Existing demand data will be used to establish origin and destination sta- tions within the urban area for recreational trip purposes. The Department of Natural Resources will coordinate with the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority to provide bus service based on the above information on a trial basis. The trial program should be conducted in the summer of 1977. Should the trial program prove successful, the Department of Natural Re- sources should subsidize the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority, if necessary, to continue the service on a regularbasis during the peak usage months. Funding would be provided from the pas- senger fees set in accordance with normal rates and from state appropriation and Section 5 of the National !4ass Transportation Assistance Act of 1974. Localities should be encouraged to conduct experinen-t-al transportation programs with the Departments, of Natural Resources and Transportation acting in an advisory capacity. OMeet picnicking deficiencies in all regions, particularly the West Metropolitan and Northeast regions. It is most useful to establish a set of implementation guide- lines for providing picnicking -rather than citing a specific set of developments. This is done because picnicking is viewed pri- marily as a support activity which is cheaply provided in a va- riety of environments. Where appropriate, picnicking should be provided in 5 and 10 year multi-purpose development plans. Picnicking facilities should be provided in aesthetically pleasing settings. The activity requires sanitary facilities, adequate parking, and ease of access. The state should expand picnicking facilities at all st ate parks in a manner that supports but does not interfere@with other activities. -For greatest efficiency, picnicking should be pro- vided as part of broader development plans rather than through single purpose development projects. The local sector shou ld be encouraged to provide picnicking facilities in all appropriate recreation projects. 010-01.5 Funding at both the state and local level will be primarily through the Bureau of.Outdoor Recreation and state and local monies. *Develop a comprehensive method for the systematic evaluation of the state's wetland resources., An objective system must be established to rank fresh water wetlands using four basic criteria: 1. The value of the wetland as a groundwater aquifer. 2. The value of the wetland as a wildlife resource.. 3. The value of the wetland as a recreational resource. 4. The value of the wetland in flood protection. Primary responsibility for the project will rest with the Depart- ment of Natural Resources, Divisions of Planning and Development and Fish and Wildlife. The expertise of personnel at the Uni- versity of Rhode Island and the Soil Conservation Service will also be required. The methodology should be completed by June, 1976, and the state's wetlands rated during fiscal year 1977. Funding will be accomplished via a planning grant from the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation. OEstablish transportation and other programs for the accessibility of the population to existing salt water beaches. 'The Department of Natural Resources should expand its current bus service, which is provided in cooperation with the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority,,and should make scheduling and route information widely available to the public. Also, several optimum departure points throughout the metropolitan area should be identified. Use of idle school buses appears to be a satis- factory mode of tr-ansportation for community-based programs. If the demand warrants it, a more comprehensive long term arrangement should be made by communities and school depart- ments or possibly the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority. Communities should also be encouraged to attempt experimental bus transportation programs to,salt water beaches utilizing idle school buses.at their disposal with fees being charged to cover the operating costs of such a program. If subsidies for either state or local services appear necessary, federal programs such as the Community Development Act, transportation acts, or the Land and Water Conservation Fund. should be thoroughly researched as possible funding sources. Every effort should be made to mini- mize expenditures at state or town.levels. This expansion of state service should take place during the summers of 1976 and 1977 with special encouragement for local participation during the same years. 09-01.6 OInvestigate legal provisions which create conflicts between pri- vate ownership and the recreational use of the state's navigable water- ways. Clarify-public-regulations for recre ational use of navigable waterways. The legal right of the population to travel the state's navi- gable waterways is vague and in some cases, in question. A com- .prehensive study must be undertaken which researches the legal background related to travelling the states navigable waterways. The study should inventory the state's navigable waterways, re- search all available literature, and examine techniques used in other state.s to deal with the problem. The final report should ,be the basis for legislation or other legal action w,hich will lead to a definitive solution. Neither the Department of Natural Resources nor the Statewide 'Planning Program have the staff to adequately conduct this study. It is recommended that the Department of Natural Resources con- tract with the state office of the Attorney General or an organ- ization such as the Conservation Law Foundation utilizing Land and Water Conservation Fund monies.. The study should be ini- tiated in 1976 and completed in one year. Complete a feasibility study of the establishment of a scenic and recreational river system in the state. Little has been done in Rhode Island to identify those rivers with scenic and recreational value. The apparent popularity of fresh water swimming and boating indicate that fresh water rivers are a potentially important supply source. Of additional impor- tance to Rhode Island is the inclusion of-urban rivers in the recreational river system. Many rivers, which once served in- .dustrial purposes, when,cleaned will have recreational value. Primary responsibility for completion of the project lies with the Statewide Planning Program with staff assistance from the Department of Natural Re.sources. The project and final tech- nical paper can be expected to be finished in fiscal year 1977. Funding will be provid'ed through the planning project agreement with the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation and with state funds. *Adopt a formal arrangement .between the Rhode Island Historical Preservation Commission and the Department of Natural Resources for the purpose of facilitating the-orderly development of areas that have both historic and recreational significance. The purpose of this recommendation is to coordinate goals and minimize potential.conflicts between the Rhode Island Historical Preservation Commission and the Department of Natural Resources. This agreement could provide a mechanism to id.entify and effi- ciently deal with those areas which have.both -recreational and 09-01.7 historical significance. It is anticipated that the formal arrangement would be in the form of a memorandum of understanding. The understanding would call for simultaneous review of all ac- quisition and development. In this way the Department of Natural Resources will have the opportunity to maximize recreational de- velopment at historic sites and the Historical Preservation Commis- sion will have load time to investigate the historic value of those sites earmarked for recreational development. In addition, early coordination between the two agencies can often result in improved financing arrangements. The Department of Natural Re- sources will have primary responsibility for drafting the agree- ment and presenting it to the Historical Preservation Commission. This task is to be accomplished by the end of fiscal year 1976. Wor the promotion of environmental awareness, encourage the Depar'tment of Education to foster the use and study of appropriate natural areas as part of the educational curriculum in all school dis- tricts. The Department of Natural Resources should identify and de- velop state owned non-fragile unique natural areas, trails, and coastal regions suitable for study, to make them available for use in educational programs. They should also be responsible for the protection and accessibility of these areas through such measures as marked trails, parking areas for buses, and fencing. In addition to the public school system, the Audubon Society, State Conservation Committee, and other responsible groups which have demonstrated interest and responsibility in environmental awareness should have access to these areas. Future development of an educational progran could involve the provision of basic teaching materials, staff, and nature museums and centers at state,parks. Specific educational monies should be sought from federal sources, primarily the Department of Health, Education and lvl@elfare. Other funds may be obtained from the Audubon Society, the U.S. Forest Service and the Nat- ional Park Service. Development of an expanded environmental education program should be initiated by the Department of Nat- ural Resources in fiscal year 1979. OBased upon.the findings of Technical Paper 4 17, "The Potential Values and Problems in Using Water Supply Reservoirs and. Watersheds for Recreational Purposes," it is recommended that a definitive study that generates reliable technical data should be accomplished. to determine the degree of impact of various recreation activities upon water qua- lity. It is extremely important that this study be conducted by an independent agency to preserve objectivity which is ess,ential when deciding such a controversial issue. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers possesses the skills and integrity to accomplish 09-01.8 this study with mininum public criticism. Particularly attrac- tive funding arrangements are also available through the Corps F Urban Studies' Program. Because of these advantages, the Corps of Engineers should be asked to conduct a one year study to be initiated in fiscal year 1977. Also the Department of Inte- rior's Office of Water Research and Technology should be consi- dered for participation. OThe state of Rhode Island should,,according to recommended sche- dules presented in the Bay Islands Park Feasibility Study, initiate the development of presently owned state land and establish a priority program for acquiring those remaining parcels of land constituting the complete park system. This study addresses needs within a framework of plan phases: Phase I - state recreational holdings on Dutch Island, Hope Is- land, at Fort Wetherill and at Fort Adams and Brenton Point should be officially designated as components of.the Bay Island Park. F Improvements at Forts Wetherill and Adams and'Brenton Point should proceed according to existing Department of Natural Resour@qes plans with funds now committed. Phase II - federal property on.the south end of Prudence Island and Beavertail on Conanicut Island should be acquired by the state for recreation and conservation use when and if -it is surplused. Allen Harbor with the adjacent Mount View and'Dog- patch Beaches in North Kingstown and the Melville Three Ponds area and small boat basin in Portsmouth should be acquired by the town or state for recreational purposes. Phase III - Prudence Island north of Nag Creek, Patience island, and a scenic view area.on the northern tip of Conanicut Island should be acquired for conservation and public recrea- tional use. The acquisition of a five acre site at the north end of Conanicut Island is the first stage of what could later be expanded into a major unit of the Bay Islands Park encom- passing a larger area. Highest priority should be given to acquisition of the Pine Hill,Point Coast and marshes and the area north of Potter Cove, all on the north end of Prudence Island, primarily for their conservation value. Phase IV- The final.phase will be-the internal development, consolidation, and upgrading of facilities, services, and, oppor- C, tunities. Additional lands may be acquired on Conanicut Island or to enlarge any of the other units of the Bay Islands Park. The development strategy must be opportunitic; that is, the phases are not meant to indicate chronological order. Achievement of the objectives for a Bay Islands Park will be contingent upon priorities stated within this document. 09-01.9 Funding will primarily be throug ,I) the Bureau of nutdoor Recrea- tion. However, other sources can be utilized. should the oppor- tunity arise, i.e. Economic Development Administration monies, and the Dungell-Johnson and Pittman-Robertson Act programs. It should be noted that a large portion of the lands slated for acquisition require little or no state expenditures. Such .acquisitions uould therefore present no financial conflicts with previously established policies. OImprove the accessibility of the elderly to recreation sites and increase their participation by modification of existing programs and provision of special needs programs as required. The Department of Community Affairs' Division on Aging has the responsibility of increasing recreational trips provided by their transportation services. The role of the Department of Natural Resources is first, to provide technical and financial assistance.to the Department of Community Affairs for the prepa- ration of an efficient recreational transit program and second, to make suitable areas available, at little or no cost, at state parks for use by elderly groups. If Community Affairs is,,..unable to respond with transportation services, Natural Resource5" Divi- sion of Parks and Recreation should be prepared to provide bus service similar to the beach bus program, and seek funding through a combination of state and federal monies. The coordinative pro- gram at the Department of Natural Resources will be organized by the Local Recreation Coordinator. The first transportation ser- vices should be brought,on line by the summer of 1977. *Determine the degree of impact of the present tax structure in Rhode Island on various types of open space land under the jurisdic- tion of the private sector. . Land in the private sector kept in open space often satisfies many recreational, aesthetic and other needs of the population. .11owever, as municipalities seek more property tax revenue and private individuals seek greater returns on their land invest- ment, the benefits of open space are threatened. Municipal tax structures impact significantly on the future of open space owned by the private sector. A feasibility study should be completed. which examines the effect of municipal tax structures on privately owned open space. The study should address various methods that can be used to en7 coura'ge the private sector to maintain their property as open space, such as preferential assessment and deferred taxation. It should also examine the true net losses (or gains) incurred by a municipality when they encourage the maintenance of open space. 09-01.10 The study is to be accomplished in fiscal year 1978. Pri- mary agency responsibility will rest with the Statewide Planning Program. The primary data source is the Depirtment of Community Affairs' Division of Tax Equalization. Wdentify, publicize, and protect areas of scenic, historical, and cultural interest for the large sightseeing population. Although.sightseeing is a difficult experience to define, there are specific actions government can take to enhance the public's opportunity to participate in this activity. It is of primary importance to identify those. attractions in Rhode.*Island which have scenic, historic and cultural value. Identification of an aesthetically valuable resource often functions as a pro- tection mechanism; but where certain valuable areas are threatened, purchase of land or the -negotiation of casements must be consi- F dered. Existing environmental protection laws (particularly the fresh water and coastal wetlands acts) can also be used to protect certain scenic areas. Outright acquisition should be used only as a last resort. Studies should be initiated by the Department of 'Nlatural Resources and Statewide Planning Program to inventory the scenic attractions of the state. The Department of Economic Development should assist in the publication of a comprbeensive guide listing these attractions. Furthermore, the attractions should be coded and added to thestate environmental inventory. The Audubon Society, Historical Society, 'Nature Conservancy, R.I. Heritage Council, and the Department of Economic Development Tourist Pro- motion Division should.be consulted throughout this program. The inventory should be initiated by the Department of Natu- ral Resources in fiscal year 1 "977 and be completed.. in one year. The resulting publication should be prepared for the summer of 1978 with free, wide-scale distribution. The inventory should. attempt to rate the value of the aesthetic element, determine protection requirements, and propose appropriate action over a 10 year period. OThe effects of non-point sources of pollution and both struc- tural and non-structural solutions for the enhancement of water qua- lity should be evaluated to determine their impact on the quality of.outdoor recreation, conservation, and open. space areas. The Statewide Planning Program has been designated by the governor as the responsible state agency for the development of an areawide waste water treatment managemcnt plan. This two year program will study point and non-point source pollution problems, and the development of solutions for improving water quality. It should provide an excellent background for the completion of a "follow-up" study on the effects of such water pollution sources on the quality of outdoor recreation, conservation and open space areas. The responsible state agnecy for this 09-01.11 study will be the Statewide Planning Program, and it should be scheduled in fiscal year 1979. Whe Statewide Planning Program should complete its flood plain management study and examine alternative protection and regulation techniques for flood prone areas. This activity involves a study of flood conditions and policy and legislative needs to include a review of development controls and standards and. determination of development standards to be observed and land uses to be permitted in flood hazard areas, including certain active and passive recreation facilities. Policies and legislation to control land use and development in areas subject to flooding will be proposed. This study is being undertaken by the Statewide Planning Program and should provide valuable information that can serve as the basis for possibleassignment of a recreation or conservation use where appropriate. Some possibilities would be hiking trails, fishing access, primitive campsites, etc. This project was initiated during fiscal year 1976 and will require about three years. *Improve public access to,the shore to maximize the opportuni ties for salt water related activities. The.Department of Natural Resources should be responsible for 1) identifying those public rights-of-way which access prime fishing areas, both salt and fresh water and 2) improving first those rights-of-way which are in close proximity to population centers. These improvements should be compatible with the sur- rounding land use and the estimated. demand at the site. Improve- ments can entail installation of parking areas,,sanitary faci- fishing piers, etc. . These supportive facilities may In require either the purchase of easements or acquisition. order to finance such projects, a serious effort must be made toward the institution of a salt water fishing and shellfish license as a means of providing revenues. These revenues should be utilized not only for right-of-way improvement.-and mainte- nance, but also. for sport fishing research. The Division of Fish'and Wildlife should take the lead role in drafting appropriate legislation. Two sources of federa '1 funds which can be utiliz'ed-are the Land and Water Conservation Fund and the Dingcll-Johnson Act. 09-01-03 Local IDImprove use opportunities at existing urb .an and metropolitan parks and develop additional neighborhood recreation areas in accord- ance with the policies of the State Cuide Plan. 09-01.12 This recommendation is,one of the highest priorities of the Recreation Guide Plan. It clearly states that the low'level of OF supply in metropolitan areas is most readily'alleviated by im-. proving existing parks and, where economiGs allow, acquiri -ng and developing new areas. The metropolitan park system concept, established in the 1965 Recreation Guide Plan, offers the greatest opportunity for the Department of Natural Resources to meet the needs of Rhode Island's major metropolitan area. Within 10 years the Department of Natural Resources should implement a Master Plan to improve,an.d expand facilities at Lincoln Woods State Park. Maximum effort to complete the development of Snake F Den State Park, in accordance with the recommendations of the approved master plan, should be made by the De- partment of Nat ural Resources over the next 10 years. Facilities should be expanded and added at Goddard State Park within the next seven years. Development of Colt Park should be completed in accordance with its master plan recommendations over the next five years. A master plan should. be developed for theJ.L. Curran and Diamond Hill State Parks. If funds allow.. develop- ment should proceed in these areas after major phases of development at Snake Den, Goddard, and Lincoln Woods have been fully completed. Lesser parks in the metropolitan area (e.g. Dyerville, Ten Mile River, and Peter Randall) should be developed to meet the needs of the communities they serve. In that funding for these projects may be difficult to obtain, cooperative funding arrangements should be attempted with the municipalities these parks serve. Municipalities in the metropolitan area must consider, as their first priority, the improvement of existing city and town parks. This plan recognizes many of the'financial constraints now being experienced by localities. However, the availability of a state recreation fund, Community Development Block Grant,funds@ and Bureau of Outdoor Recreation funding, provide localities with a fairly inexpensive way to maximiz'e their recreational develop- men.t. Close coordination between the Department of Natural Re- sources and cities and towns should provide municipalities with technical assistance so that they can serve the greatest amount of persons at the least cost. 09-01.13 it is reasonable to expect that every municipality have a large recreational area proportionate to the population it serves. Providence's Roger Williams Park and Pawtucket's Slater Park are examples of the types of'large recreational facilities that cities. of this size should provide for their population. Smaller towns should also provide quality central recreation areas in proportion to the site,of'their community. This central municipal recreation .facility will have as its primary function the servicing of the needs of its own community. Often times, however, these holdings have some. regional impact. Although state parks are developed to serve regional needs, these types of municipal facilities can help share that responsibility. In this way, a municipality .will not only be serving its own community, but also be demon- strating to neighboring towns the quality of recreation it is providing for its residents. Areas to receive prime attention therefore, are Roger Williams Park in Providence, Slater Park 'in Pawtucket, and the Valley Falls Pond area in Central Falls. Also the City of East Providence should give consideration'to developing'a large recreational area to complement the existing ring of state-owned parks circling the metropolitan area. *Restructure the present user fee system to make it more com- prehensive in providing local financial assistance for recreation. A fund, similar to the Land and Water Conservation Fund, should be established by the State to assist all municipalities in their recreational a 'cquisition and development financing. The present system provides monetary assistance to cities and towns through the Green Acres Bond Issue of 1965 which is now virtually exhuasted. It provided up to 50 percent of the non-federal share for acquisi- tion 'and development.@ The only state monies now available to the municipalities are a portion of parking fee revenues collected at state beaches. However, these portions are available only to those towns in which the fees arecollected. User fees collected at state recreation areas should be used to -form a fund for the use of all 39 cities and towns and the Department of Natural Resources. To accomplish this, legislation must be drafted which replaces the former user fee system with a new system providing for the following: 1. Revenues received by the fund will be available for a three year period. Funds not expended at the end of this three year period will revert to the State's General Fund. 2. The fund will provide up to 50 percent of the Non-federal share of acquisition, and development projects. 3. Only those projects which are in accordance with an approved town recreation plan and the recreation element of the State Guide Plan will be considered. 09-01.14 0 4. Approval of local projects will be based on the following criteria: a) Consi.stency wi th local and state plans. b) Level of,priority as established by the Recreation Re- sources Review Committee. C) Cost of,project in relation to its service area. Projects will be reviewed by the Recreation Resources Review Com- mittee with final approval grantec! by the appropriate.State Liai- son Officer. The Department of Natural Resources and the Statewide Plannin g Program will share primary responsibility in researching this pro- posa.1 and drafting the legislation. The project should be com- plet*ed by the end of-Fy 1976. 0 Reorganize the existing Recreation Resources Review Committee and charge the Committee with determining the suitability of specific recreation proposals in light of the priorities and needs established in the local planning elements submitted for the state's Recreation.. Conservation and Open Space Plan. It is imperative that a more formalized review procedure be instituted to guide the orderly (levelopment of recreation op- portunities in the state. The Committee should be restructured to provide a more workable and balanced representation of recrea- tion planning concerns. A tentative proposal for memb6rship would include:. Local Recreation Coordinator (Department of Natural Resources) Chief, Planning and. Development (Department of Natural,Resources) Auditor, Planning and Development (Department of Natural Re- sources) Chief, Statewide Planning Program (Depatment of Adminis- tration) Chief, Planning and Development (Department of Community Affairs) Executive Director, Historical Preservation Commission Executive Director, R.I. League of Cities and Towns Representative, R.I. Tourist Travel Association The Committee should be charged with continual evaluation of the local communities' eligibility for participation in the Land and Water Conservation Fund, as well as reviewing specific profect proposals, both state and local, as they relate to elements of the State Guide Plan. The proper functioning of the Committee will also include non-voting participation by appropriate staff members of the Department of Natural Resources, Community Affairs, the Statewide Planning Program, and other agencies, when required for a comprehensive project review. 09-01.15 The Committee should be established by an Executive OrdeIr which would formally set forth the membership and duties of the Committee. One of the necessary duties will be responsibility for review of local recreation plans to determine local eligibi- lity periods regarding Land and Water Conservation funding. Es- tablishing administrative and procedural requirements would be- come the responsibility of the Committee. Establish a position of Local Recreation Coordinator in the Depa t ent of Natural Resources to assist and guide the local communi- ties in addresssing their recreational needs. In many instances, the needs discussed in this report cannot be met by unilateral actions of the municipalities, but will re- quire a cooperative effort at both the state and local level. It has also been demonstrated that some communities do not possess or have access to the technical and financial resources to effec- tively,address all the recreational.problems affecting them. A coordinator position within the Department of Natural Re- sources would provide not only a vital link for technical assist- ance, market information, and funding capabilities, but would also be responsible for providing guidance to the local commu- nities on facility impact, site location evaluations, site de- sign, and maintenance problems. In"this capacity, the Coordinator should also serve on the Recreation Resources Review Committee as the key liaison person between the state and local disciplines. This will significantly improve the State's function as a pass- through agency for federal monies while assuring .minimal con- flicts among the various state and local proposals. Other pro- posed duties should include, but not be limited to, the follow- ing: a) To coordinate department policy with th .at of other state ''agencies and the private sector. This would entail serving on Committees relevant to recreation as the department designee. b) To chair a committee composed of key personnel of depart- mental divisions to address all facets of site problems as they relate to planning and development. c) To increase environmental awareness at the local level, especially concerning the preservation of significant natural areas. d) To oversee the development of a comprehensivestatewide trail system in concert with the needs of the local sector. 09-01.16 Provide increased access to state parks and management areas for use b@various voluntary or special interest groups and assist in the coordination of their activities with local and state programs. Improving the accessibility of low income, elderly and handi- capped groups to-recreational areas is a recurring theme through- out this plan. Bus programs to salt water beaches, improved .public transit routes to metropolitan recreational areas, loca- tion of Bay Islands access points in the heart of urban centers, and transportation services for the elderly will require coordination at various levels of government. In the short term, coordination can be achieved most effec- tively through the Local Recreation Coordinator whose knowledge of both state and local recreation programs will enable him to coordinate and advise regarding the effectiveness of a-variety of transportation programs.. It should be stressed that the coordinator will not manage the programs but will monitor recrea- tion transportation activities throughout the state. In this way he can advise program directors so that there will be a mini- mum of conflict and a maximum of efficiency. 09-01-04 Priv ate Sector 11DAssist the private sector with market information so that'both the recreation industry and the public will receive maximum benefit. The demand studies conducted by the Department of Natural Resources and University of Rhode Island provide a wealth of in- formation which can be,utilized by the private sector in planning their recreational enterprises. However, effectively communi- cating this information is complicated by a history of prejudices and misunderstandings between the state and the private sector. The Department of Natural Resources must take a lead role in iden tifying and making contact with representatives of the private sector, particularly through such organizations as the private campground owners association. Other private groups include marina,,golf course and beach owners. Unfortunately, these three are not organized on a statewide basis. Therefore, the Department of Natural Resources should encourage the formation of organizations among these groups and meet with them regularly to, initiate meaningful communication. eMinimize, and eventually eliminate, any competitive situations between the public and private sector in providing recreation facili- ties when the pri-vate sector can adequately meet the need. 09-01.17 Private recreation facilities serve a definite segment of the population and thus contribute to satisfying some of the demand for recreation. For this reason, private recreational enterprises should be fostered by all levels of government so long as adequate standards'of public service and provisions for protection of the natural environment are adhered to. Nei- ther the state nor local governments should compete directly .with private enterprise when the amount of public demand for such facilities can reasonably be expected to be served by the private sector. When the provision of recreational facilities by public agencies parallels that of private enterprise, rate structures-and/or user fees, where applicable, should be compe- titive. The Department of Economic Development's Tourist Division should be encouraged to undertake a preliminary study to evaluate 'the significance of any duplication in the provision of facili- ties and explore alternatives for mininizing any detrimental im- pact on the. private sector. 09-02.1 09-02 Acquisition and DeveloT)ment Schedule The dove lopment of recreational'and access facilitics at state parks and recreational areas includes roads, parking areas, game courts, play fields, swimming facilities, trails, sanitary facilities and other such requirements. Thoughthe state has acquired, over the years, a number of areas for park-s and recreation, few have, been completely de- veloped. to serve the public. Plany of these arc in the urban.areas or immediately adjacent,thercto.and could provide services to the citizens of the state that have the greatest need for them. State facilities will in no way,mect all recreational needs of any region, but they can and should help to overcome.scrious recrea- tional shortcomings of any particular region, particularly in the urban. area of the state where needs for public parks are more critical. Operating cost in the state 'areas being revitalized or,more fully developed (i.e. Lincoln Woods and Goddard. Park) should not appre- ciably change on a cost per user basis and in fact could go down. areas such as Snake Den will require new staffing on a year round basis-and would be similar in their requirements to Goddard Park and Lin- coln Woods. Smaller areas in which minor improvements were made would ultimately have little effect on the operating budget. Areas that are under a user fee arrangement or where such a fee would be appropriate will show a decrease in operating expenses. Galilee would fall into this cateogry. Failure to develop state-owned facilities will.result in mis- use or over-use of existina areas and their deterioration, or spe- cial interest groups forcing piecemeal development, all of which will not serve the public's needs. As master plans are developed for each area and as improvement is made in our public demand estimates, more precise development recommendations can be made. This acquisition program is a continuous one. Acquisitions will be essential as long as clearly,identified requirements have to be met and objectives have to be reached. Future considerations should be based on a re-evaluation of the public needs, taking into account. the activity in the private sector, the project support from federal and local governments, the degree to which-present goals are achieved, and the behavior patterns of the public. Every five years a new assessment should.be made in regard to acquisition.

As shown in this table, Acquisition of new sites appears as Pri.ority Number 6 out of twelve proposals.. Table 09-02(2) displays the summary of estinated costs for the project pri- orities by fiscal year. Following is a general description and program analysis for each of the twalve project proposals: 1. Lincoln Woods This project provides for the staged redevelopment of amajor existing park, to include swimming and boating facilities, formal game areas, picnic areas for groups and families, trails, observation structures, natural areas, and a trans- portation system, as set forth in a recently completed master plan. This 687 acre state parh located in the Providence urban area serves the communities of Central Falls, Cumberland, North Smithfield, North Providence, Pawtucket, and Providence with a population of 150,000 persons within a five mile radius of the park. It has for many years been utilized as a general day-use park, with swimming in Olney Pond. The pond is for the most part spring fed, but with a very low'flourage rate. This limited flow,gives rise to limited mixing and circula- tion of water resulting in a high pollution risk. It is anticipated that the Department of Health may close down all swimming activity in this area in the near future. Consequently, the construction of a natural swimming area in which water quality can be controlled is urgently needed. In addition the park has relatively little development other than picnic areas and bridle paths and one Little League Field. To give the park greater utilization for more people over a longer period of time and to mee't some of the recrea- tional deficiencies of the region as shown in recent demand studies, and to provide easier access to the area, a new master plan has been prepared. A staged development program has been prepared with the first phase aimed at correcting the serious swimming facilities problem. The expanded faci- lities should have a minimum effect on operational cost. in developing the master plan for the area, local communities have been.and will continue to be consulted in order that the area can best meet the region's needs. Future development plans will endeavor to extend the usable season and to accom- modate more people. As the Department becones aware of real recreational needs for additional facilities, it will endeavor to modify its plan to meet such challenges. 2. Snake Den The initial development of this major day-use park within the Providence.metropolitan high demand area requires the establishment of a basic road pattern, surface water system, 0 FV bd o @? & 0 t-- w 0 0 r- 0 0 p a ct ct 9 a 1.@ to F@ 60 pj CD CD 0 co , 9 0 :D. w [ (14 v 4 0 4 0 9: a a aq I a F@ 0.

The Snake Den acquisition included P75 acres of land in the town of Johnston, on the urban fringe and wjtliin seven miles of downtown Providence. Thu.-,, it will serve as a vital link of parl@s ringing the densely populated areas of the state. Therefore, it has become important for the state to proceed with development before incompatible or limited value uses become established.: Tbo location ivill provide recreation enjoyment for many thousands of citizens. This park will serve a population of 100,000 within a five mile radius. The complete development of the park can be staged over a period of time and future plans call for a continuing development program with the creating @and opening tip of new se areas a The complete u s indicated in the master plan. development of the park is planned in five stages over the twelve year period. Each stage will require review and modification as actual construction time approaches. It is planned that the stages of de.velopT-,ient will reflect the demands and needs of tl)e reryion the pirl serves. -ecreation Areas 3. Lesser Parh-s and P This project involves a great number of improvements necessary for completedevelopment and utilization of 19 differe nt areas. It includes adding game courts, parking lots, roads, trails, playfields,.picnic areas, play areas, small foot bridges, shelters, sanitary facilities, fencing, CtC. These areas include Diamond Hill, J.L. Curran, Stillwater, Brenton Point, Fort Wetherill, Bay Islands, Squantum 111oods-Veterans Memorial Parkway, Haines Parh, Fay Field., Owen Field, Peter Randall, 'lleshanti-cut, Westerly Airport, Slater Grove, Fishermen's I-4emorial, Charlestown Breacliway, Quonochontaug, and Weekapaug Breacliway. All have development requirements for maximizing use by ihe public. Each area., being rela- tively small., tends to serve various interest or local groups whose concerns or needs are more readily evaluated on a short term rather than a long tern basis. Therefore, it is felt that a continual improvement of these areas on a year to year priority basis is more feasible than endeavoring to establish a fixed set of projects for a twelve year period. These areas also supplement local government areas, and should tal-e into consideration the plans and actions of these local governments to meet public needs. As these are frequently unknown until special investigations or reviews are made, state facility development should be flex- ible to enable coordination with local plans. It is rec- ommend.ed that most state funding, be through restricted receipts riatched by federal funds. 09-0 6 Each year, a review of,the demand on state owned recreation facilities in line with opportunities available locally should be conducted. Priorities should then be set for developme nt within the linit of available funds. 4. Galilee Maintenance and improvement of facilities including dredging, piers, bulkheads, roads and. vehicle parking and the establish- ment.of a new administration building is to be accomplished at.Galilee. Galilee is the pri ncipal fishing port in the state of Rhode Island, being the home port for some 135 corrnerciil vessels, the Blocl, Island Ferry, charter boats, and a sizable pleasure boat fleet. A recent study conducted for the Coastal @Janage- ment Council indicates that the state should proceed cau- tiously until the status of the fishing fleet is more clearly known, particularly due to the impact of any 200 milc limit on the U.S. fishing grounds. However, the state should main- tain current facilities and take steps to in.crease.income from the area. 19 piers are i 'n extremely poor condition and need to be replaced. ParlJng is haphazard and for the most part uncontrolled resulting in considerable lost revenue. The.present traffic pattern leads to congestion and confusion, particularly where vehicles are waiting for the Block Island Ferry. There is a further need to relocate and consolidate state administrative and enforcenent services for the area, which now block other desirable utilization of sites they now occupy. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is conducting a study to deter- mine whether.to extend their navigation channel jurisdiction. If they decide to.extend their area of responsibility, in- creased development and use pressures will be placed on the port and the state.should be ready to accept them. With a more re'alistic rate st ructure of leases for the area. and better utilization of the Port, the area should become self-. sufficient. Potentially, a yearly revenue to the State of better than $400,000 is very probable, with income in excess of $8,000,000 being generated by the area. Once a clearer understanding of the.fishing industry's future is gained, the'state plan and the investment committed in the area should be reevaluated. to insure that-maximum eco- nomic and social benefits can be derived. 5. Goddard @-Iemorial This project calls for the further development of the park to meet the needs of present and future users, which first 09-02.7 requires the completion of a new naster plan. It is expected that this will call for construction of active specialized play areas and a youth center, utilization of the presently undeveloped northeast section, and a redesign and relocation of bridle, bike, and foot trails. Goddard Park, like other older parks, has never been fully developed, although it is as heavily used as any park-, drawing patrons from all over the state rather than a spe- cific region'. It is receiving, particularly during the non-swimming season;, a larger concentration of the younger members.of the population, yet has little to offer them. Though it posesses over 2 miles of shore line, except for one boat launch Tamp and beach, not much is utilized oT supports use. -The City of Warwick has limited recreational fa,cilities in the area and has, therefore, urged the state to make improvements. The present road pattern is hazardous with'extremely limited parking resulting in serious deterioration of grass fields in the park. A nunber of buildings have been destroyed by fire,and others, according to the Fire Marshall's Office, are very high risk, especially the stables and the Fnforce- ment Building. Other than the golf course and bridle paths, there are no formal active areas in the park. Areas need to be designed in order that the park can be more effectively used by special need groups such as the physically handicapped. A periodic update of the master plan will be made to insure that Goddard Park is maintained in conforriance to the changing requirements of the citizenry. 6. Acquisition of Land This-project involves the acquisition of recreation lands, .wetlands, marshlands, and barrier beaches, in fee simple, easements, and/or o'ther means. Since the state's policy i's-to negotiate wherever possible for land, land purchases frequently are done on an opportunity basis, and therefore specific acquisition sites cannot be precisely determined but generally fall into broad purchase are'as. Also, land speculation precludes the desirabi-lity of public announcement of acquisitions until the state is ready to take action. Two major management areas, Arcadia and George Washington- Durfee Hill, require consolidation, in addition to parks and other management areas which may need additional acreage Also, public access is needed to ponds, lakes, and along rivers. Unique or fragile areas which cannot.be replaced if des- troyed or altered and cannot be protected through any other means should be acquired. Also, areas which provid.e access to fresh and salt water facilities with significant recreational value,.including areas that can provide 09-02.8 support services to official rights-'of-way, should be considered for acquisition. Areas designated as part of the Bay Islands Park should be acquired according to guide- lines presented in the Bay Island Park Study. 7. Fort Adams Fort Adams is a historic recreation site acquired by the State in 1965 from the federal,"government. Work on the fort began in 182S and was completed in 1859. Subsequent development did not take place:except for accommodation facilities pro- vided for federal troops during World War Il. Since then the fort has rapidly deteriorated, and unless basic needs are met, the fort will fall beyond the point of restoration. Consequently, the state's jurisdiction over this area may be jeopardized. Considerable public interest has been ex- pressed in this project. Tinder the guidance of the Rhode Island Historical Preservation Commission and the Fort Adams Foundation, a phased development program was structured and groups arebeing organized to support and supplement state efforts to restore and properly use this strategically located fort. A general plan to restore the fort has been !P completed. The first objective of permitting public use of part of the area has been met. Hopefully, contributions to final resto- ration will be forthcoming. The second objective, comple- tion of work on the fort proper, will provide the public with the opportunity to see and enjoy a very strategically located and important historic site. The possible addition of Navy land will enable the state to develop a far better park and historic site facility, and add to extensive prime shore frontage. This development will generate an increase in operational cost approximating $150,000 in support of care- taker and general maintenance personnel and additional water, poweri and sewage facilities. However, it is anticipated that-.------ a,good portion of this amount will be recovered by an entrance fee system, concessions, and a charge for private use of the area. Further, a possible change of the location of the Rhode Island National Guard would require building and fence removal., with some additional landscaping. Once this state park is developed, consideration should be given to many alternative uses of the facilities. Proposals such as nuseuns, a visitor center, and special concessions are in the planning stage for future expansion, through ac- quisition of surplus Navy land and its development. 09-02.9 8. Colt State Park This project involves the construction of maintenance facili-' ties, development of a major picnic area and sanitary facility, conversion of the barn to a visitor center, construction of playfields and development of other day-use facilities within a 459 acre state park. This park., located in Bristol, was purchased by the state from the Colt Estate in 1965. The development program to date has been limited. Previous development involved con- structing four miles of road, a parking area, a scenic over- look, a byidge, picnic areas, and sanitary facilities and the demolition of an old house. The park, however, has not been adequately developed to provide for efficient use. Recent studies and preliminary master plans exemplify the numerous beneficial features for park development. Taken collectively, the seashore, marsh, woodland, statuary and architecture could be the base for development of a recrea- tional facility that easily can be without peer among state properties. Among the 459 acres, there are 250 acres upon. which recreational.facilities can be economically con- structed. The characteristics of this park, considered most important to retain, are its open estate appearance, its stone buildings and structures, and its wetlands, salt marshes and shoreline. Additional facilities such as play- fields and picnic sites are needed for people utilizing the park. Constructio n of bike trails and an amphitheatre are part of a supplemental development program which will contribute to effi- cient and qualitative use of this area. This park also serves as maintenance headquarters for all facilities on the east side of Narragansett Bay. The main objective of this project is to provide a major day-use park which is located in a metropolitan-area with facilities capable of raising the standard of recreational achievement in this region. This proposed development will increase the present use capacity of this area from 2,000 to 4,000 people. It will result in an increase in operational cost of $6,000 for maintenance, operation, and repair of buildings.and facilities. Much of the increased operational cost will be due to increased costs for landscaping, trash collection, and electrical maintenance. It is anticipated that additional manpower will not be required. The master plan provides for the even distribution of use throughout the park, compatible with land resources. Comple- tion of this future development program would enable Colt 09-02.10 Park to become a primary recreational facility for Rhode.Is- land. Burlingame This project involves redesigning and relocating 750.to 800 campsites and their support facilities within 2,SOO acres of park land around Watchaug Pond. This includes the renovation and extension.of certain roads, utilities, sanitary facili- ties,. beaches, -and equipnent shelters. Development is sche- duled on a general basis extending over the next several years. The present area is not properly designed or capable of hand- ling the present number of campsites. nvercrowding is deter- iorating the area and ovcrtaxing present facilities. Water is also in short supply, causing a potential health problem. Consequently, a new access road, additional sanitary facili- ties, and beach improvement, to include the development of new and redesigning of old beaches, are necessary to ade- quately handle campers and. naintain the area. Deficiencies exist in all types of recreation areas, both in the amount of land and its development. The undertaking, of this pro- ject will contribute to the state's effort in overcoming these deficiencies. This effort concerns establishing pri- ority needs, accounting for public safety, and area deterior- ation considerations, in a balanced program of new development. There should be no significant addition to operating cost dueto the fact'that those 7SO to 800 campsites do not represent additions, but rather the relocation of existing facilities to a more strategic area with adequate facilities. Future planning should consider povis-ion of adequate faci- lities for an extended season and explore the possibility of adding limited cabin facilities. 10. Management Areas This project includes improvements such as bridges, main- tenance, storage buildings, sanitary dump stations, trails and walks, shelters, utilities, and fencing at 22 management areas totalling approxinately 24,000 acres. Although net public use is increasing and demands for improving facili- ties is constantly growing, master plans have not, as yet, been prepared for these areas. Within management areas are intensive use areas such as Beach Pond Beach, George Washington Campground, Arcadia Pond and,Picnic Area, the Re- search Headquarters for the Fish and Game Division, the Forest .Environment Division Headquarters, Peck Pond Beachand Picnic Area, and Round Top Field Headquarters, all of which have -relatively small, capital project demands that are difficult to predict and evaluate other than on a short term basis. A modest program can handle the bulk of these needs and thereby prevent problems from developing. The Fish and 09-02.11 Wildlife Division feels that new 'storage facilities and workshops at its headquarters at Great Swamp and Round Top are needed to properly care for equipment and house research efforts. Much of these latter requests can be supported by up to 75 percent federal funding. As management * plans are developed for each area, more specific requests can be programmed and scheduled. 11. Fish Ladders This project,proposes the construction of one fish ladder per year to complete the ongoing anadromous fish program. As one of Rhode I'sland's basic resources, these fish not only supply food for human consumption. but are vital to the food chain for-many other forms of sea life. At' present, 12 of.the require d 19 ladders have been completed, or are under construction. If other rivers in Rhode Island, such as the Pawtuxet, have their water quality upgraded suf- ficiently to supIport anadromous,fish, additional ladders should be considered. 12. Cocumscussoc State Park specific program description and analysis of this project has not been established.at this time since development is not anticipated to begin until 1982.' The park, situated on 414 acres in the town of North Kingstown, when slated for development, will probably be planned in relation, to its significant recreation and historic.value. 09-03.1 09-03 Lgo;cgall Ellj:xibility Status W" one of the primary functions of this document is to secure eligibility for federal monies available for recreation planning, acquisition, and development. In turn, one of the state's duties is to determine the eligibility of a.11 local governments before specific local proposals can be accepted for these federal funds. The minimum requirement for eligibility is the completion of a suitable recreation plan by each community. This recreation guide plan establishes the length@of eligibility for funding based on the state of completion and general adequacy of each community's outdoor recreation plan. Submission of-an officially adopted or approve d document secures funding eligibility. The length of the eligibility period is deter- mined primarily by the adequacy,.detail, and scope of the community's implementation program. Eligibility periods are not static but are subject to constant re-,evaluation as necessitated when changes in needs and priorities occur at both the state and local levels. The length of these eligibility periods, as stated in Table 09-03(l), are subject to final approval by.the Recreation Resources Review Committee. The Committee's prime responsiblity will be the continuing 1P re-evaluation of these eligibility periods as required, as well as reviewing any new recreation plans when submitted. 09-03.2 TABLE 09-03(l) STATUS OF LOCAL RECREATION PLA114S AND ELIGIBIT-ITY-TOR LAND AND WATER CONSERVATIOIN FUNDS* Plan Plan Approved Funding Eligi- Officially By Planning bility Expira- Town or City Adopted Board tion Date ,Barrington January 1, 1980 Bristol I I Burrillville January 1; 1980 Central Falls X January 1, 1981 Charlestown January 1, 1980 Coventry Cranston January 1, 1978.

One year eligibility assigned based on submission of a planning analysis for the Town. 09-04.1 09-04 Fin ancing the.Pr The Rhode Island "Green Acres Land Acquisition Act of 1964" (see Appendix) addressed the objective of providing land for public recreation and conservation of natural resources to promote the public health, prosperity and general welfare of the state's citizens. Although participation by the local communities was not universal, a re-allocation of the unencumbered funds to those communities who were actively participating in the program enabled virtually a full commitment of monies set aside by the Act. Tables 09-04(l) and 09-04(2) present this information for each municipality as of December 31, 1974. Unfortunately, additional funds have always come from voter approval of referenda. Bond issues, by nature, do not permit the spending flexibility required to meet changing priorities, since General Assembly and voter approval is dependent upon the bond issues' identification of specific recreation projects. This fact contributes to the state's continued inability to match the maximum available federal funds allocated to Rhode Island, and has been a major detriment to the progress of recreation, conser- vation, and open space activities in the-state. 1P The capital development program presented in this plan calls for the expenditure of $14,223,200, through fiscal year 1982. Under most circumstances, one-half of this total can be financed through the Land and Water Conservation Fund. However, there remains over $7,000,000 of financing at the state level. in order to accomplish the desired acquisition and development. In that the present recrea- tional development fund (composed primarily of a portion of user fees) cannot be expected to provide this magnitude of financing, alternative funding strategies must be pursued and considered. 09-04-01 State Recreational Development Fund. .This plan has proposed the establishment of a comprehensive fund available to both the state and localities. Capital for the fund would come primarily from two sources; an expanded fee system at state owned recreation areas would provide the major share, with the remainder provided by a'modest annual appropriation from the general fund. This type of financing has the advantages of being comprehensive (that is, it can be used at both the state and local level) and permanent (the legislation would mandate that user fees are committed to this use). 09-04-02 Bond. Issues In the past, bond issues have been the most common form of recrea- tional capital development financing. They have been adequate in meet- ing critical, short term needs. The disadvantages of bond. issues, how- ever, make them undesirable for a long term program. Bond issues are subject to the mood of the voting public. In times of depressed economic conditions the chances of voter approval may be slim. Also, the state incurs a liability that in the long run is more expensive 09 - 04- 2 TABLE 09-04(l) EXPENDITURES OF STATE FUNDS UNDER 1965 GREEN ACRES BOND ISSUE As of December 31, 1974 Original Revised Allocation Allocation Funds Funds En- Town or City .1965 1974 Expended cumbered Balance -Barrington $ 33,114 $ .88,842 $- 88,842 $ 0 $ 0 Bristol ..33,978 45,973 26,586 19,387 0 Burrillville 27,648 0 0 0 0 Central Falls. 40,118 26,033 26,033 0 0 Charlestown 19,343 0 . 0 0 0 Coventry 34,979 14,151 14,138 0 14 Cranston 94,S85 173,819 13S,9SS 37,864 0 Cumberland 38,880 37,800 37,800 0 0 East Greenwich 24,143 42,760 42,760 0 0 East Providence 6S,776 94,220 43,480 50,840 0 Exeter 19,728 0 0 0 0 Foster. 19,495 2,35.8 2,358 0 0 Glocester 21,004 26,975 26,97 "5 0 0 Hopkinton 0 0 0 0 Jamestown 19,692 0 0 0 0 Johnston 36,985 35,106 35,106 0 0 Lincoln 32,79S 66,801 35,112 31,689 0 Little Compton 19,036 0 0 0 0 Middletown 31,778 39,999 39,999 0 0 Narragansett 21,OS9 23,890 1S,616 8,274 0 Newport 71,691 35,823 25,568 10,255 0 New Shoreham 17,624 38,030 31,250 6,780 .0 North Kingstown 39,095 48,869 32,400 16,469 0 North Providence 38,216 47,770 22,137 25,663 0 North Smithfield 25,922 0 0 0 0 Pawtucket 111,115 138,894 138,894 0 0 Portsmouth 26,641 33,301 25,150 2,648 5,503 Providence 257,997 178,229 85,040 1,850 91,338 Richmond 19,365 14,066 150 3,600 10,316 Scituate 23,109 S6,37S 4S,601 10,774 0 Smithfield 28,063 '20,029 18,443 1 586 0 South Kingstown 30,926 13,862 13,862 0 0 Tiverton 28,046 35,058 25,772 9,286 0 Warren 27,220 56,241 56,241 0 0 Warwick 962604 123,230 121,075 2,155 0 Westerly 33,626 0 0 0 0 West Greenwich 18,417 14,533 9,185 5,348 0 West Warwick 41,925 22,400 12,250 10,150 0 Woonsocket 71,728 63,010 50,600 12,410 0 State Total $1,663,333 $1,658,447$1,284,278 .$266,998 $107,171 09-04.3 TABLE 09-04(2) FEDERAL ASSISTANCE FOR AC= ON AND DEVELOPMENT As ot December 31, 1974 Total BOR HUD Project Town or City @Grants Grants Costs Barrington $ 7,500 $102,684 $ 220,368 Bristol .641,334 0 128,668 Burrillville 0 0 0 Central Falls 51,232 0 102,464 Charlestown 0 0 0 Coventry 29,065 .0 58,130 Cranston 106,515 194,022 601,074 Cumberland 77,263 .0 154,526 East Greenwich 122,537 0 245,074 East Providence 81,227 68,820, 300,094 .Exeter 0 0 0 Foster 4,795 0 9,590 Glocester 54,613 0 109,226 Hopkinton 0 0 0 Jamestown 0 0 0 Johnston 136,999 48,111 370,220 Lincoln 41,885 7,929 99,628 Little Compton 0 0 . 0 Middletown 181,606 0 363,212 Narragansett 347,780 0 695,560 Newport .46-,500 0 93,000 New Shoreham, 320895 0 65,790 North Kingstown 68,888 137 776 North Providence 95,762 6,125 203:774 North Smithfield 0 0 0 Pawtucket 558,204 67,924 1,252,256 Portsmouth 51,545 0 103,090 Providence 16,030 0 32,060 Richmond 0 0 0 Scituate 141,937 0 283,874 Smithfield 38,400 0 76,800 South Kingstown 28,219 0 56,438 Tiverton 82,826 0 165,652 Warren 109,339 0 218,678 Warwick 784,175 0 1,568,350 Westerly 18,373 0 36,746 West Greenwich 0 0 0 West Warwick 21,827 0 43,654 Woonsocket 87,000 0 174,000 State Total $3,489,271 $495,614 $7,969,770 09-04.4 to the taxpayer. In addition, bond issue legislation is usually very specific and does not always permit adequate spending flexibility by the development agency. 09-04-03 Other Restricted Receipts There are a number of specific taxes which could be used to finance recreational development. However, it is sometimes difficult to argue that certain existing or proposed tax revenues should be restricted solely to recreational development. Examples of this are realty transfer taxes and the taxing of transfer of development rights. Their applicability to recreational development is arguable. It has also been argued that a portion of gasoline taxes might be applied to recreational development, in that recreational vehicles and power boats contribute to this source of revenue. A general tax on recrea- tional goods has also been discussed as a possible source of funding. Although these sources of funding have not been fully investigated, the chances of their success in Rhode Island are believed to be mini- mal at this time. Financing is a sensitive and complex issue. Ultimately, the best method must both conform to the overall state capital devel- opment policy and adequately meet the needs of specific programs. A legally established and properly maintained recreational develop.@. oil ment fund which serves both state and local governments offers the flexibility, comprehensiveness and permanency to effectively meet development objectives.@ The final strategy, whether bond issues, rcs- tricted receipts, an appropriated fund, or some combination of these, must be considered in these terms. =4r 050 TABLE 09- PROPOSED PLANNING PROGRAMS: FY 76-78 1976 1977 1978 PLANNING PROGRAMS Jan'76-Jun'76 July'76-Jun'77 July'77-Jun'78 Completion of Demand Survey Computerized Inventory of Recreation Sites Public Transit to Metropolitan Parks Wetlands Methodology Wetlands Evaluation Recreational River Study Property Tax Study Public R-O-W Identification Flood Plain Study Navigable Rivers Study Inventory of Aesthetic, Cultural and Scenic Areas Non-Point Source Pollution Effects on Recreation Recreational Use of Reservoirs V1 09-05.1 O9_Q5 Proposed Action Program The foll owing'tables (see 09-05(l) and 09-05(2) summarize the timetable foraction programs proposed in this guide plan. The programs are presented in four categories. 1. Planning Programs This group of proposals relates to those specific studies designed to improve Rhode Island's recreational information base and program. These studies'constitute the work elements of the continuing recreation, conservation and open space planning process. 2. Acquisition and Development Programs - These are the sug- gested acquisition and development projects for the next .12 years. They include both state and municipal level projects. 3. Legislative and Administrative Programs - These are the regulatory programs requiring immediate action to facilitate the completion of the proposed. implementation schedule. These programs are all to be accomplished at the state level of responsibility. 4. Service Programs These programs are designed to provide services and information so as to enhance the public's participation'in activities related to Rhode Island's recreation, conservation and open space resources. It is anticipated that these proposals will be initiated in the near future. =4r TABLE 09-DS.(2) PROPOSED ACTION PROGRAMS: FY 76-78 ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT:PROGRAMS 1976 1977 1978,.1979 1980 1981 19S2 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 Fresh Water Swimming Lincoln Woods Snake Den Municipal Facilities Tennis Colt, Goddard, Lincoln Woods Snake Den Picnicking Rights-of-Way Improvement Bay Islands Facility Improvement at Metropolitan Parks Lincoln Woods Colt Goddard Master Plan Development J.L.

The action program includes those Melopments wbi satisfy the highest and most important needs. The long-range program to the year 20.00 will depend in large measure upon the successes and impact of the first twelve year program and a re*as- sessment of the recreational needs of the population. Given a reasonable amount of efficiency in the implementation of the short range program,@the long range program will be concerned with recreational acquisition and development in the following broadly defined areas: 1. Needs of the Urban Population State Responsibility will be concerned with completing and refining the development of state metropolitan parks. Top priority will be the completion of Snake Den State Park and Lincoln Woods State Park. Localities should be encouraged to continue acquisition and 1P development of urban recreation areas which satisfy the particular needs of their population. 2. Coastal Recreation Opportunities The emphasis of the acquisition program will shift to insuring and perpetuating the recreational opportunities of the Rhode Island coastline in the long term. Acquisition of properties supporting rights-of-way can be accelerated d 'uring this time period. Of parti- cular interest will be the accuracy of salt water swimming participa'- tion forecasts. If these do increase as expected, an efficient program utilizing acquisition or easements should be instituted to provide adequate salt water'swimming recreation opportunities. .3. Rural Recreation Development As the transportation capabilities of the population improve,- the need for access to the significant fresh water bodies in the western parts of the state will require an acquisition program. The development of these fresh water resources and the surrounding land area will help meet anticipated deficiencies in fresh water-swimming, picnicking, and boating. 4. Natural Areas Of continuing importance, both in. the short and the long term, is the protection of the state's valuable natural areas. Of top pri- ority will be the protection (by acquisition if necessary) of aesthe- tically and ecologically important areas such as barrier beaches, salt ,marshes, and scenic vistas. 09-06.2 it should.be emphasized that the long range action program must be formulated in response to reliably determined needs of the population as meAsured through detailed study. It is also of prime importance that the action program be integrated with the State Lan(@ Use Policies and Plan and other applicable elements of the State Guide Plan. . .. . ...... k8I py i lk W, ZII@MIll ,@,R,, Wilml-1, 4U "'big 'A''m 6 gm "1w 16 . ...... ukl,@ AMIPI@11,1 tll,-&@,@%,, @W!" ,iO I ", I jiRp Jim i m"T"mp'lig ...........
