Dear Mr. McGlennon:

In accordance with my letter of December 20, 1974, regarding
Iiy intent to designate an areawide waste treatment iianagemellnt
planning area and agency, I am formally submitting the attached
documentation in support of these designations.

The area designated includes all thirty-nine Rhode Island com-
munities and two neighboring commullnities in blassachusetts--
Millville and Blackstone. I refer you to the attached docu-
mentation for the exact boundaries of the area.

This area designation includes, for certain purposes, the
ITown of Tiverton, Rhode Island, which has signed a conditional
resolution of intent to participate in the 208 planning pro-
cess with other communities in the Lower Taunton Rliver Basin.
The 208 plan for the Lower Taunton River Basin will be pre-
pared by the Southeast Regional Planning and Economic Develop-
mejnt District (Massachusetts) in coordination with the Rhode
Island Statewide Planning Program. Coordination will also be
maintained with the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning
Commission for the Massachusetts communities of Millville and
Blackstone.

Also consistent with my expressed intent, I am designating
the Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program as the agency
charged with responsibility for the preparation of the area-
wide waste treatment management plan for the designated area.

PREFACE

When Congress passed the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act Amendments of 1972 (P.L. 92-500), it recognized that some
water quality problems in the United States are of such com-
plexity and severity that they cannot be solved by technology
alone. For this reason, the development of an areawide waste
treatment planning process is suggested under Section 208 of
the Act. Section 208 planning involves itself in areas of
severe water pollution control problems, caused by intensive urban--
industrial concentrations or other factors. Section 208 calls
for the Governor to designate areas which meet the "208" planning
area criteria, The Governor must also designate a planning
agency to serve each "208" area, according to certain criteria.

The purpose of this document is to present the Rhode
Island area and agency designations to the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency for approval. It has been prepared in accord-
ance with provisions of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regula-
tions, Part 126. In accordance with these provisions, this
"designation package" contains explanatory and supporting mater-
ial for the "208" planning area and agency designated by the
Governor of the State of Rhode Island, Philip W. Noel.

The first four parts of this document constitute the area
designation. Parts One, Twoand Three describe the boundaries
and characteristics of the designated area, while Part Four
discusses the water quality factors taken into consideration in
establishing the need for a 208 plan for the area.

Part Five documents the efforts of the Statewide Planning
Program in encouraging local participation. It also includes
a list of communities which have expressed their willingness to
participate by the passage of a resolution of intent. Part Six
discusses the mechanisms and measures taken to assure the
participation of the general public in evaluating the Governorts
proposals. Among other measures taken, a public hearing on
the proposed area and agency designations was held by the
Governor's office on April 8, 1975.

Parts Seven and Eight constitute the planning agency designa-
tion. Part Seven designates the Department of Administrationts
Statewide Planning Program as the Governor's designated agency
to prepare the "208" plan. Part Eight outlines the authority,
structure, planning history, expertise and resources of the
Program.
Part Nine, the final narrative section of the designation pack-
age, presents a preliminary cost estimate for the preparation of
the plan. This estimated total cost is based on a per capita cost
estimate for nine general planning activities. A revised and
more detailed estimate will be developed through the 208 Work
Program currently under preparation.

PART ONE: BOUNDARY OF THE DESIGNATED AREA

Map 1-1 illustrates the boundary of the area designated
for areawide waste treatment management planning. In general,
the boundary corresponds to that of the state, with one ex-
ception: the towns of Millville and Blackstone Massachusetts
have been included within the Rhode Island "208" planning area.

These communities are included in Rhode Island's designated
area for the following reasons:

1. Both communities are within the boundary of the Provid-
ence-Warwick-Pawtucket SMSA;

2. In view of their economic, demographic, and functional
relationships to the City of Woonsocket, they have been
excluded from the Central Massachusetts-Regional
Planning Commission (CMRPC) "208" area;

3. The Woonsocket-North Smithfield Facilities Plan recommends
that wastewater generated in thi Town of Blackstone be
treated at the Woonsocket plantz;

4. The feasibility of utilizing the Woonsocket facility
to treat wastewater generated in the Town of Millville
will be investigated in the development of the "208" plan.

Planning coordination with the Central Massachusetts Re-
gional Planning Commission (CMRPC) has been initiated and will
continue throughout plan formulation. A letter of intent to
enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the CMRPC is
included in Exhibit A.

The Town of Tiverton, Rhode Island,'which-is in the Fall River
SMSA, has been tentatively designated as part of the Massachusetts
Lower Taunton River Basin "1208" planning area.

A "11208"1 plan for this area will be prepared by the South-
eastern (Massachusetts) Regional Planning and Economic Develop-
ment District (SRPEDD). Tiverton has been included in the
SRPEDD area in light of the recommendation that wastewater
generated in the Town of Tiverton, Rhode Island be treated by
the City of Fall River, Massachusetts which is presented in
the Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program's Plan for Sewerage
Facility Development. Tiverton is also included in the Rhode
Island "208" area for certain purposes which will be documented
in the "208" work program. Tiverton will also be requested to
designate a representative to serve on the Rhode Island Area-
wide Waste Treatment Policy Advisory Committee. Both SRPEDD and

the Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program have signed letters
of intent to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with
regard to "208" planning for Tiverton (See Exhibit A).

These letters of intent also provide for coordinated plan-
ning in the Ten Mile River Basin, which includes parts of the
cities of Pawtucket and East Providence, Rhode Island aswell
as five Massachusetts communities. SRPEDD is the designated
planning agency for Massachusetts communities in the Ten Mile
River Basin. In accordance with the recommendations of the 1970
Regional Study for Water Supply. Sewage Disposal and Drainage
for Southeastern Massachusetts, prepared in June, 1970 by
Tippetts-Abbett-McCarthy-Stratton for SRPEDD, five alterna-
tives for sewage treatment in the Ten Mile River Basin Communi-
ties were considered. The most cost effective solution was
determined to be the treatment of all wastewater generated by
the Massachusetts communities within Massachusetts. This con-
clusion was based on an analysis of existing treatment plant 3
configurations, and institutional and financial arrangements.
Areawide waste treatment management planning for this basin will
be carried on with continuous coordination between SRPEDD and
the Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program.

Continuous coordination of "208" planning efforts will also
be maintained between the Rhode Island Statewide Planning Pro-
gram and the Massachusetts Metropolitan Area Planning Council
(MAPC) which is the "208" planning agency for the greater
Boston area. Coordination with MAPC will focus on "208" plan-
ning for Bellingham, Massachusetts, which is in the MAPC '208"
area. The Interim Basin Plan Woonsocket-North Smithfield Sub-
Basin, prepared by the Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program,
recommended that the future waste treatment needs of the
southern portion of Bellingham be met by the Woonsocket treat-
ment plant," The Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program has
initiated coordination with MAPC through a letter of intent to
enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with regard to "208"
planning for Bellingham, Massachusetts (See Exhibit A).

The Rhode Island portion of the designated area encompasses
all or portions of:

1. The A-95 State Clearinghouse Jurisdiction (See Map 1-2)

2. Department of Housing and Urban Developmentts (HUD)
Areawide Planning Jurisdiction (See Map 1-2)

PART MMO: POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DESIGNATED AREP

A. Population Trends and Projections

The population growth of the designated area in recent
decades may be characterized in simplest terms by two trends:
stabilization and suburbanization.

Stabilization of the total population appears to be taking
place, closely geared to economic conditions (See Table 2-1).
Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, rapid
economic expansion, spurred on by cotton manufacturing, was
accompanied by steady population growth. In this century,
growth has gradually slowed. The decline of the textile in-
dustry, the decreasing number of immigrants, and the depression
of the 1930s 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 natural increase.
Between 1960 and 1970, however, economic conditions improved
and the population growth rate became relatively moderate and
constant.

1870 217,353 24.5 1970 949,723 10.5
1880 276,531 27.2

Suburbanization is an equally recent phenomenon. Beginning
in the eighteenth century, the designated area was more highly
urbanized than the country as a whole. Early industrial and
commercial activities, accelerating in the mid-nineteenth
century, caused population growth to concentrate in Providence
and, later, in Newport. Between 1850 and 1900 more than half

2-1

of the population growth in-the entire area 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, that 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 suburbanization spread to out-
lying communities like Coventry, Cumberland, East Greenwich,
Middletown, Narragansett, North Kingstown, Portsmouth, Smithfield,
South Kingstown, and Tiverton (See Table 2-2).

Anticipated population growth to 1990 has been projected
by the Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program. (See Table 2-3).
This projection is based on national forecasts of total birth
and death rates through 1990, in relation to comparable trends
in Rhode Island. It assumes that the margin of births over
deaths will gradually reach the replacement level (an average
of 2.1 births for each woman between the ages of 14 and 44) and
then remain at these levels throughout the projection period.
A net 5-year in-migration rate of 1.32 percent was assumed. This
rate is equal to one-half the'rate observed during the period
i965-1970, and corresponds to an annual in-migration rate of
0.26 percent.

These assumptions will eventually result in "zero population
growth" projections. However, approximately 70 years are re-
quired to reach a situation of "zero population growth" after
births and deaths reach the replacement level. For the 20 year
projection period (1970-1990), a 15.4 percent increase in the
area's population results from these birth and migration rate
assumptions. Population increases are projected for nearly
every community, although the older urban centers may experience
small decreases (See Table 2-3). This projected growth rate is
lower than similarly based projections for the United States.
as a whole. The 1970 national population of 204,875,000 is
projected to grow by 19.6 percent in the 20 year period 1970-1990.

B. Population Density and Urban Develooment

The designated area comprises approximately 1,050 square
miles of land area and.has a density of over 912 persons per
square mile.

Urban development in the designated area occurs predominantly
in the cities of the Providence Metropolitan Area. These
six cities (Central Falls, Cranston, East Providence, Pawtucket,
Providence and Warwick) house 51 percent of the designated
areats population while covering only 10 percent of its land.
On a statewide basis, urban land use types occupy approximately
127,463 acres or 19.5 percent of the state's land area. Urban
land use types occupy 62.6 percent of the combined land area
of the six Metropolitan Area communities mentioned above.10

The designated area is expected to urbanize at a rate of
over 3,500 acres per year over. he next 20 years, based on
trends apparent in the 1960's. The existing and proposed
areas of urban development are shown on Map 2-1.

PART THT:E I-D)USTRIAL ACTIVITY IN 9EHE DES]".Gh'TED, AREA

I A~Diversity and Concentration ofIndustrialInstallations

The textile industry (SIC 22) and the jewelry and precious
metal industries (SIC 39) are of primary importance in the state,
while primary metal (SIC 33). fabricated metal (SIC 34)., machinery
(SIC 35) and rubber products (SIC 30) manufacturing are also
significant industrial activities. Table 3-1 and Figure 3-1
summarize industrial and employment activity in the state. Table
3-2 illustrates the distribution of manufacturing activity.

B. Ainernability to KuniciDal Waste Treatment

Most industrial wastewater in the 208 area receives or will
receive treatment at municipally owned treatment plants. Among
the most significant industrial activities in the designated
area are primary metals, fabricated metals, and machinery manu-
facturing, Wastewater from these industries may not be amenable
to treatment at municipal facilities due to metals and cyanide
toxicity and acid levels, which are inimical to the activated
sludge process. Some of these firms are presently served by
municipal treatment plants and may be adversely affecting their
operation. The question of the effect of these industrial wastes
on municipal treatment facilities will be investigated in the
208 study.

The strength and/or volume of some industrial wastewaters
would overload existing municipal treatment facilities should
these firms tie into the municipal sewerage system, In some
instances, there are no municipal facilities available for in-
dustrial wastewater, due to the location of the manufacturing
plant.

Since these facilities are located in communities spread
throughout the 208 planning area, it is desireable to have coor-
dination of waste treatment on an areawide scale and to plan
municipal and areawide treatment plant capacities to meet future
industrial expansion and development.

C. Trends in Industrial and Economic Growth

Long term employment indicators show that manufacturing has
dropped to approximately 34 percent of the areals total economic
activity, while service and trade industries have become increas-
ingly 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. An-
ticipated continued long term expansion of service and trade
industries, including tourist trade, regional services and re-
search, should further diversify and stabilize the economic base.

The established trend toward industrial decentralization is 3
expected to continue, at least for the short term. This trend
is likely in spite of continuing coordinated economic, trans-
portation, natural resources and land development planning
programs and policies which encourage more compact urban growth.
While urban sprawl may be controlled over the long term, in-
dustrial development pressures in semi-rural communities surround-
ing the urban core will increase as attractive sites, such as
those on the new circumferential Interstate Highway 1-295 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 manufac-
turing, is particularly important in light of the current
recession, which has brought the areaTs unemployment level to
nearly 16 percent for the first quarter of 1975. While such
expansion is directly dependent upon national policy in fiscal
and energy matters, attemptsat the regional and local levels, I
to attract industry will certainly continue. Semi-rural corumuni-
ties with vacant prime industrial land are likely to encourage
industrial investment through zoning, tax incentives and exten-
sion of community facilities, including sewers.
Significantly, efforts to regain pre-1973 levels of economic
activity in the area. are expected to focus industrial develop-
ment pressure on those same semi-rural communities which are
experiencing the impact of population growth and redistribution. 3

PART FOUR: WATER QUALITY FACTORS IN TIlE DESIGNATED AREA

A. Water Quality LimitedSegments

The designation of water quality segments was based on an
analysis of the results of water quality sampling surveys,
anticipated growth, and municipal facilities construction re-
quirements. The water quality limited segments and their
classification basis are summarized in Table 4-1.

1. Pawtuxet River

In 1970, the estimated population of the Pawtuxet River
Basin was 244,000, most of which resided in the urbanized lower
portion of the basin. There are three municipal sewage treat-
ment plants, serving about 92,000 people, located on a five
mile stretch of the river. These three plants have a combined
flow of over 10 mgd.

Two major industrial discharges contribute approximately
10,000 lbs. of BOD per day to the river. Both of these dis-
charges are treated effluents. In order to meet their National

4-1

Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit require-
ments, these plants will have to rovide levels of treatment
to obtain BOD removals of 95 to percent, Advanced treatment
will be required to obtain these removals.

Problems in the basin will become more complex as a result
of two major factors: 1) a proposed public water supply reser-
voir on the south branch may further reduce flows and the
assimilative capacity of the river; and 2) by 1995 it is expected
that the Town of Coventry will have municipal sewerage and a
treatment facility discharging to the Pawtuxet River. As a
result of this new facility and other growth, the average daily
flow from municipal treatment plants in the basin is expected
to increase from 12.3 mgd in 1972 to 33.0 mgd in 1995. This
increase will result from an expected addition of over 100,000
persons to the sewered population and an increase in industrial
flows.

In view of the increasingly complex nature of the pollution
problems in this basin, a comprehensi�p areawide plan is needed
to achieve the 1983 goals of the Act.-I-D

2. Woonasquatucket River

A municipal sewerage system is needed in the Town of Smith-
field to alleviate problems with subsurface disposal systems
and to accommodate anticipated growth in the community. The
possibility of treating wastewater from this system at the
Providence treatment plant was evaluated in a 303(e) basin plan
and found to be too expensive. The most feasibile alternative
is construction of a treatment facility in Smithfield on the
Woonasquatucket River. It was determined, however, that because
of water quall4y conditions, advenced treatment would be required
at the planto,, Combined sewer overflows from the City of
Providence sewerage system also degrade water quality in the
lower portions of the river during periods of rainfall. Due
to the level of complexity, a comprehensive areawide study is
required in this basin to correct pollution problems,

B. Preservation and Protection of Water Quality

Located in the midst of a densely populated, urbanized areaI
Narragansett Bay is an essential outdoor recreational and
economic resource. It has great natural value as a fish and
wildlife habitat and as an aesthetic amenity. The Bay harbors
a multiplicity of uses, which are often mutually conflicting,
It serves as a major regional port and fishery. Shellfish are
abundant and both commercial and recreational shellfishing
are important uses of Narragansett Bay. Wastewater effluents
from industries and municipalities are threatening these uses.
This is especially evident in upper Narragansett Bay., where
certain shellfishing areas are frequently closed due to combined

4-2

3 ~~sewer overflows.
Narragansett Bay represents a pollution control problem
substantial enough to justify the designation of the area
I ~~proposed herein. The complexity of the pollution problem in
Narragansett Bay results from the fact that all drainage in
Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts, with the exception of
that from the Pawcatuck., Moosup, and Adamsville Basinoflows
into the Bay. Thus water pollution problems in rivers tributary
to the Bay act to compound the direct discharge problems in
Narragansett Bay. Both point and non-point sources of pollu-
tion have a direct effect on the Bay,
Water quality in upper Narragansett Bay is presently being
adversely affected by combined sewer overflows from the cities
of Providence., Pawtucket and Central Falls. Urban runoff and
runoff from construction activities also represent a substantial
water pollution control problem. Oil transport and storage.,
as well as runoff from oil storage facilities also represent
actual and potential sources of pollution in the Bsy,
Combined sewer overflows and urban runoff from the City of
I ~~Newport are sources of pollution in the otherwise clean (Class
SA) waters of southern Narragansett Bay. Also,, the possible
conversion of former Navy lands at Quonset Point in North
I ~~Kingstown, to include an oil refinery., a steel mill,,or other
heavy industry is a potential threat to water quality.
The complexity-.of the pollution problems affecting Narragan-
sett Bay mandates a comprehensive, areawide approach in order
to arrive at viable solutions. Prevention of future water
pollution problems requires a rational strategy for dealing
I ~~with urban growth. Such a strategy is implicit in the state's
Land Use Policies and Plan recently Ifpublished by the Statewide
Planning Program. Coordination of "208" planning with the
I ~~Land Use Plan will facilitate the development of non-structural
alternatives for water pollution control.
Organizationally, statewide "208" designation would greatly
I ~~enhance the coordination of water pollution control. In the
past, the creation of regional management arrangements has
proven to be extremely difficult; requiring either a legisla-
I ~~tive mandate at the state level (a i the case of the Blackstone
Valley Sewer District Commission)a, otiecnuinglbro,
complex negotiations among local governments. By including
I ~~local elected officials on the 20 policy advisory committee.,
the framework for cooperation in plan formulation is established
thus facilitating the implementation of regional waste treat-.
3 ~~ment management projects.

I ~~~~~~~~~~4-3

The 208 process allows for an effective-areawide effort
to protect the area's waters from further degradation consistent
with Section 46-12-4 of the General Laws of 1956., as amended
which states:
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to cause pollu-
tion of any waters of the state or to cause sewage
to be placed in a location where it is likely toI
cause brook, pond or lake any solid waste materials.,
junk, or debris of any kind whatsoever, organic or
non-organic.
(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to discharge
sewage into the waters of the state without havingI
obtained an order of the director approving the
system or means he has adopted to prevent pollution
of said waters, provided however that this subsection
shall not a pply to a discharge of sewage existingI
(on April 24, 1970) or to the addition to an exist-
ing discharge from a system or means approved by
the director which does not exceed the capacity ofI
such system or means as approved,
(c) It shall be unlawful for any person to construct, or3
install any system or means to prevent pollution, or
to extend or add to any existing system or means
to prevent pollution without having obtained an
order of approval of the director of such system orI

(d) It shall be unlawful for any person operating or main-3
taining a system or means to prevent pollution of
the waters of the state to permit increases in volume
or strength of sewage reaching such system or means
beyond its capacity., as approved by the director,
(e) It shall be unlawful to construct or install any
industrial., commercial., or other establishment,,I
or make any modification or addition thereto or to
undertake any development which may result in the
discharge of-any sewage into the waters of theI
state., unless such discharge is made to a system or
means to prevent pollution approved by the director,

C. Municipal Waste Treatment
There are 17 state or municipally owned treatment plants
in the designated area., serving 19 communities and three state
facilities. Two treatment plants, one operated by the City of
Providence and the other by the Blacks tone Valley Sewer District

4-4I

I ~~Co mmission, provide treatment for 64 percent of the wastewater
flow from sewered areas in the 208 area. Both of these plants
discharge to upper Narragansett Bay, and are severely affected
I ~~by stormwater flows, During periodsof heavy rainfall, combined
sewers in the Cities of' Central Falls, Providence and Pawtucket
overflow to the WoonasquatucketMoshassuck., Providence and
Bl.ackstone Rivers. Flows in excess of 100 mgd at the Providence
Treatment Plant receive. only primary treatment; flows
in excess of 160 mgd receive no treatment.

5 ~~~The City of Woonsocket is currently upgrading and expanding
its treatment facilities to serve North Smithfied, Rhode Island
and Blackstone and Bellingham, Massachusetts. The plant curren-
tly provides primary treatment which is not adequate to meet
I ~~water quality standards in the Blackstone River, In addition'.
regional treatment facilities are under construction or con-
3 ~~sideration in two other communities in the designated area,
In the Pawtuxet Basin., three municipal treatment plants
within a five mile stretch of the river severely degrade water
I ~~quality. Anticipated growth in the basin may require the con-
struction of yet another treatment plant in the neighboring
upstream community of Coventry. It appeaxs that water quality
standards will only be attained with advanced treatment at
the existing faiies or through regulation of growth in a
systematic fashion,
I ~~D. Substantial Industrial Pollution Problems
The industrial pollution problem in the 208 planning area
I ~~is directly related to municipal waste treatment problems.
Since most industrial firms are currently served by municipal
systems or will eventually be served by such systems., the major
problem in the area at the present time is the need for greater
coordination in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment
planning on an areawide scale. Municipal facilities capable of
treating industrial discharges are needed in many adjoining
communities in the 208 area; the most efficient way of providing
these facilities is through areawide management.

I ~~~However, substantial industrial pollution problems in the
Pawtuxet and Pawcatuck river basins cannot be alleviated by
tying into municipal sewerage systems because these facilities
lack sufficient capacity., or are situated too far from the
industry. Advanced treatment will be required for these in-
dustries in order to meet the stream classification. Regulation
of growth in these basins is an alternative that will have to
I ~~be studied in order to meet point m urce load allocations.
Other industries throughout the 208 area cannot discharge to
municipal sewerage systems because of the toxicity of their

I ~~~~~~~~~~4-5

wastes, and will have to provide pretreatment of their waste-
water before discharge to a municipal sewerage system or will
have to provide best practicable treatment before discharge
to a watercourse.

Analysis of the cost effectiveness of alternative solutions
to the industrial pollution problem is a complex task, requiring
planning on an areawide scale. In general, the coordination
of all aspects of industrial and municipal wastewater treatment
requires a comprehensive areawide planning and management
program.

E. Population Growth

Although total population growth in the area over the last
10 years was less than the national average (10.6 percent vs.
13.3 percent), shifts of population from the central cities to
the developing areas of the state will require construction of
municipal sewerage facilities or regulation of growth in areas
subject to high population growth and development pressure
(See Table 2-3). These areas surround the existing urban
centers and span the boundaries of several communities thus
requiring areawide planning and implementation of waste treat-
ment management techniques are to be effective.

The nature of the state's tourist industry also creates
significant pollution problems. The summer influx of tourist
and seasonal residents to the coastal areas of the state
results,and will continue to result, in high seasonal population
densities�, This seasonal population concentration severely
stresses the capabilities of soils to absorb sewage, as in-
ground sewage disposal systems are predominant in the coastal .,
area. The potential for groundwater pollution is very high.
Such pollution of the groundwater resource must be prevented,-
as the major portion of present and future water supplies in.
the coastal areas must be drawn from groundwater sources. As .
might be expected, the greatest demand for groundwater occurs
during the same season as the greatest loads on in-ground dis-
posal systems. Heavy summer (dry season) draw down of aquifers
in the coastal area thus presents a high potential for leachate
pollution from in-ground disposal systems. Non-structural means
to moderate the impact on water quality of these seasonal
population influxes must be sought through 208 planning.

F. Urban Storm Drainage3
Due to the large proportion of urbanized land in the designa-
ted area, as shown on Map 2-1, urban storm drainage has a major,
impact on water quality. This is particularly true in the
cities of Providence, Central Falls, Pawtucket and Newport which

4-6

have combined sewerage systems, Since urban storm runoff' can
I ~~contribute a substantial load of pollutants to area streams.,
a portion of' the 208 areawide study will address this problem
3 ~~and develop strategies to control it,
G. Non-Point Sources of' Pollution
Non-point sources of' pollution include pollutants generated
by agricultural, silvicultural, mining, construction activities,
urban runoff, and the problems of' leachate from solid waste
landfills and individual sewage disposal systems. In waters
I ~~receiving pollutants from both point and non-point sources Of'
waste discharge it may prove difficult to assess the impact of'
3 ~~the non-point source until the point source is controlled.
In order to develop an orderly plan f'or controlling non-
point sources of' pollution, the impact must first be identified
3 ~~and quantified before planning the best means of' abatement.
Based upon a review of' Rhode Island Health Department re-
cords, potential non-point sources of' pollution in Rhode Island
appear to occur in the following categories:
1. Sanitary landfills
I ~~2. Individual Sewerage Disposal Systems
3. Urban runoff'
4. Erosion and Sedimentation from land use practices
I ~~~5. Marinas
Preliminary assessments of' the impact of some of these
3 ~~sources have been made.
l,, Sanitary Landfills
3 ~~~The problems associated with solid waste disposal sites
can generally be associated with development of landfills in
areas of high water table prior to the adoption of strict state
controls. Problems occurring at both abandoned sanitary land-
I ~~fill sites and sites in the process of being phased out will
be considered, Steps to control, if not completely to abate.,
water pollution problems have been taken., but a thorough assess-
ment of' the total problem is needed.
2. Individual Sewage Disposal
In suburban and rural areas individual sewage disposal
problems still occur., degrading local bodies of' water in a
random manner, Such problems as overflowing cesspools., direct
discharges' to watercourses, and failing septic tank/leaching
field systems occur in areas where public sewerage will not be

I~~~~~~~~~~-

available for many years, if ever, These individual sewage
disposal problems, at single homes or groups of dwellings,
present problems which must be dealt with in a "non-point
manner", i.e. treatment at the site, rather than through pub-
licly owned facilities,

3, Urban Runoff

Table 4-2 presents a summary of cost estimates for
pollution abatement based upon federal Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) guidelines for the 1974 Needs Survey. From the
table it appears that the treatment and control of stormwater
(urban runoff) exceeds the cost of the conventional means of
pollution control, including the correction of combined sewer
overflows. The cost figure for Category VI is for less than
secondary treatment (micro-straining plus chlorination). It
does appear that a reevaluation of needs surveys and a quantitive
approach to the problem after the 1977 construction goals are
implemented will be necessary.

4. _Erosion and Sedimentation

Table 4-3 presents an estimate prepared by the UoS, Soil
Conservation Service of the impact of land use practices. Major
sources of erosion and.sedimentation problems appear to be crop-
lands needing stabilization, construction sites, and mining
activities (gravel extraction and washing). Again, detailed
information on the problem is lacking.

5- Marinas

There are over 90 marinas most of which are located in
small confined harbors and coves that may not receive adequate
flushing action. This seasonal problem which may curtail
aesthetic and recreational enjoyment has never been adequately
studied. In order to successfully implement any regulations
promulgated on watercraft discharges the severity of the problem
must be assessed.

H. Protection of Groundwater

.Groundwater resources in Rhode Island are in need of pro-
tektion. Based on U.S. Geological Survey figures, approximately
25..percent of all the fresh water used in the area is from
groundwater sources.21 The Rhode Island Department of Health
estimates that 8 percent of the population (about 80,000
persons) is directly dependent upon individual domestic wells
for water supply. In addition, Health Department records
indicate that thirteen of the nineteen public water supply

systems in the state are partially dependent upon groundwater.
The number of persons served by publicly supplied groundwater
in Rhode Island is estimated at 213,000 by the U.S. Geological
Survey.22

Thus, it is clear that pollution of existing and potential
water supply aquifers must be prevented if existing and future
water supply demands are to be met.

There are many potential sources of groundwater pollution,
including: (1) water-soluble products that are placed on the
land surface and in streams, (2) substances that are deposited
or stored in the ground above the water table and (3) disposal,
storage or extraction of material below the water table.

Many groundwater quality problems are caused by the disposal
of wastes directly into streams and by the dumping, spreading,
or storage of soluble substances on the land surface. The
following list, although notexhaustive, includes the major
causes of groundwater contamination that originate on the land
surface.

1. Infiltration of contaminated surface water
2, Land disposal of waste materials
Stockpiles
4.Dumps
5. Disposal of sewage-and water-treatment plant sludge
6. Salt spreading on roads
7. Animal feedlots
8. Fertilizers and pesticides
9 Accidental spills of hazardous materials
10. Particulate matter from airborne sources

A variety of materials are stored, extracted, or disposed
of in the ground above the water table. Water pollution can
originate from many of these operations, which include, but
are not limited to the following:

1. Septic tanks, cesspools, and privies
2. Holding ponds and lagoons
3. Sanitary landfills
4. Waste disposal in excavations
5. Leakage from underground storage tanks
6. Leakage from underground pipelines
7. Artificial recharge
8. Sumps and dry wells
9. Graveyards

4-11

The following list includes a number of' major causes of
groundwater contamination produced by the use and misuse of
storage space in the ground below the water table.3
1. Waste disposal in wet excavations
2. Drainage wells and canals
Well disposal of wastes
4.Underground storage
5. Secondary recovery
6. Mines
7. Exploratory wells
8. Abandoned wells
9. Water supply wells
10. Groundwater development
In most cases, these potential sources of pollution cannot
be economically controlled by publicly financed structuralI
solutions. They represent a complex and-hlegnroblm.
best controlled by non-structural means.'--
Study of the impact of these potential pollution sources on
the groundwater resources of the "208" study area is necessary
if these resources are to remain dependable, significant
sources of water supply in the future, These studies are ofI
particular importance in the designated area's rural and
suburban communities., where dependence on groundwater and com-
petition for use of open land are the heaviest.

PART FIVE: LOCAL GOVERNMENT INTENT

Between January 28, 1975 and March 6, 1975, letters and in-
formational ackages were sent to the chief elected officials in
each of the I communities in the designated area. The letter
(see Exhibit B) emphasized the need for and value of cooperation
and participation of local governments in the development of the
"208-' plan. Each community was requested to express its willing-
ness to participate through the formal passage of a resolution of
-intent.

The Statewide Planning Program pursued the passage of these
resolutions by follow-up contacts with the communities. These
contacts consisted of telephone calls and meetings with munici-
pal officials.

Twenty-eight of the 41 communities in the designated area
have passed resolutions of intent as of the date of this submission.
The Statewide Planning Program will continue to encourage the
remaining 13 communities to participate.

Table 5-1 summarizes the status of the resolution in each
community, and the actions taken by the Statewide Planning Pro-
gram to promote local participation.

Participation by Millville and Blackstone, Massachusetts will
be in accordance with 40 CFR Section 126.16. The Board of Select-
men of the Town of Blackstone has signed a resolution of intent
and has sent a letter of notification to Governors Noel and
Dukakis and to EPA Administrator Train (see Exhibit B). The
documentation necessary to support the designation of Millville
will be prepared through the cooperation of the community, the
Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission, and the
Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program. This documentation will
be forwarded to the Governors of Massachusetts and Rhode Island
and to the EPA Administrator as soon as possible.

Of the 28 communities which have signed resolutions of intent,
four have adopted resolutions which differ substantially from
the model recommended by EPA, These changes are described below:

Coventry deleted the seventh paragraph, which relates to
proposals for grants for construction of publicly owned treatment
works.

Cranston added the following phrase at the end of the sixth
paragraph:

5-1

...providing that the said City shall be allowed to
file application for sewerage treatment construction
grants when and if it is decided by said City that
such application will be in the best interest of it's
(sic) citizens and the City has the financial capa-
bilities to develop same.

and revised the seventh paragraph to read:

It is further resolved that all grants for construction
of publicly owned treatment works within the boundaries
of the State will be consistent with the approved pro-
gram.

Newport deleted the sixth paragraph, which relates to the
intent of the community to join with other communities to
develop and implement a "20it plan.

The Providence City Council passed the following resolution:

WHEREAS, the Environmental Protection Agency has
offered Rhode Island $1 million dollars in federal
planning money to zero in on Section 208 of the
Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendment of
1972 (areawide waste treatment management) and,

WHEREAS, the Statewide Planning Program has
asked each of Rhode Island's thirty nine cities
and towns to join together to "develop and im-
plement a plan resulting in coordinated waste
treatment management systems for the entire State"
and,

WHEREAS, Providence has been designated as a
"key community" within the State,

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Depart-
ment of Planning and Urban Development will repre-
sent the City of Providence in the 208 planning
process, and cooperatively plan, with all other
interested cities and towns, a system that will
control not only pollution that flows from sewers,
but runoff from roads, parking lots, farms, dumps,
construction sites, and so forth, thus making
the City of Providence and the entire State of
Rhode Island a better, cleaner and safer place
to live and play.

The Mayor of Providence also expressed his intent that the City
participate through his letter which is reproduced in Exhibit B.

PART EIGHT: FACTORS FOR AGENCY DESIGNATION

A. Legal Authority for Planning

1. Legal Status: The Statewide Planning Program was esta-
blished -by Chapter 126 of the Public Laws of 1970, approved April
30, 1970 (see Exhibit D).

2. Authority: The authority of the Program is described by
Executive Order Number 10 dated June 22, 1970 (see Exhibit D). Sec-
tions 1 and 2 prescribe Program functions. The Director of the
Department of Administration isauthorized to apply for and-accept
federal grants and contracts with the federal government by Section
3.

3. Legal Opinion: The letter from the Program's legal counsel,
reproduced in Exhibit D, certifies that the Statewide Planning Pro-
gram, has all legal authority required through the Director of the
Department of Administration, for planning.

B. Specific Authority for T!ater Quality Planning

The statutory authority for water pollution abatement in the
State of Rhode Island is found in Title 46, Chapters 12 and 14, of
the General Laws of 1956, as amended (see Exhibit E). Chapter 12
pertains to the control of pollution of waters not used for drinking,
while chapter 14 relates to the control of waters used as sources of
drinking supply.

Although statutory authority for water quality management is
the responsibility of the state's Department of Health, the Program
has entered into an agreement (see Exhibit E) with the Department of
Health and the Uater Resources Board to:

1. C0arry out their activities in preparing and maintaining
plans and programs and in implementing such plans and programs for
water supply and sewage disposal facilities on a cooperative basis,
utilizing common data bases, standards, planning periods, and other
factors to the maximum extent consistent with the responsibilities
of each agency;

2. Cooperate to the extent permitted by staff, financing, and
information available in the preparation, adoption, and maintenance
of a water and sewer element or elements of the State Guide Plan
which are consistent with all other related elements of the State
Guide Plan and which shall reflect the functional plans and programs
of each participant to the extent possible.

3. The water and sewer element or elements of the State Guide
Plan shall, upon adoption by the COUNCIL, be the plan or plans sub-
mitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the

Environmental Protection Agency, and to other federal agencies as
evidence of compliance with functional planning requirements for
financial assistance to water supply or sewage disposal facilities.

4. The water and sewer element or elements of the State Guide
Plan shall, upon adoption by the COUNCIL, be the plan or plans used
by the PROGRAM in evaluating applications for financial assistance
to water supply or sewagg disposal facilities as required by Office
of Management and Budget Circular A-95.

This memorandum of understanding was-o.riginally executed to establislh
the coordinating mechanism required by paragraph 16 of the HUD-EPA
"Joint Regional Agreement for Inter-Agency Coordination in Planning
and Development" for water and sewer facilities. This memorandum
appears to fulfill this requirement.

C. Membership of Elected Local Officials

The State Planning Council is designated as the policy body of
the Program by Sections 4 and 5 of Executive Order 10 (see Exhibit
D). The elected official representation is prescribed by Section 4
as follows:

Not more than five (5) officials of local
government who are appointed by the Phode
Island League of Cities and Towns.

The current local officials are:

1. I'ayor, City of Cranston
2. Mayor, City of Newport
3. Mayor, City of Pawtucket
4. Mayor, City of Tarwick
5. Town Administrator, Town of Westerly

The full Council membership is attached in Exhibit F. In addi-
tion to those members appointed in accordance with Executive Order
Number 10, this list includes ten members representing public in-
terests recently appointed in accordance with Executive Order Number
23, signed by Governor Noel on February 7, 1975.

As an additional measure to insure that the opportunity for
municipal input to the 208 planning process is maximized, the State
Planning Council at its meeting of February 26, 1975 passed a reso-
lution creating an areawide waste treatment policy advisory committe.
The Council in cooperation with the PRode Island League of Cities
and Towns, will ask the chief municipal elected official in all of
the "208" area communities to serve on this committee. Those commu-
nities that have expressed their desire and willingness to partici-
pate in the "208" planning process by the passage of a resolution
of intent will have voting rights. All other communities will be

asked to participate, but will be represented in a non-voting
capacity. This 208 planning committee will function as a
direct advisory body to both the Program staff and State Planning
Council in the preparation of the 208 plan. The minutes of the
February 26, 1975, Council meeting are reproduced in Exhibit F.
D. Geographical Jurisdiction Over Area
The Program's area of planning jurisdiction is the entire state
of Rhode Island. The combined effects of the state's limited land
area, dense urban composition, and the proximity of all 39 local
civil divisions allow regional planning to be performed on a state-
wide basis, in many cases withoutthe need for substate districting.
The entire state has been designated by the Governor as a single
area for the purposes of the federal Office of Management and Budget
Circular A-95 Review Process. Economic planning and development,
urban redevelopment planning and transportation planning also treat
the State as a single unit under the planning jurisdiction of the
Statewide Planning Program.

maps 1-2 through 1-8 illustrate the geographical limits of
the planning jurisdiction of the Statewide Planning Program as can
be seen, the Program has planning jurisdiction in the entire 208
area, with the exception of the two Massachusetts communities of
Blackstone and Millville. Jurisdiction will be extended to these
two communities for purposes of the "208"1 program through a memo-
randum of understanding between the Statewide Planning Program, the
Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission and the communi-
ties (see Exhibit A).

E. Functional Jurisdiction Over Other Types of Areawide Planning
As illustrated by sections 1 and 2 of Executive Order Number
10 (see Exhibit D), the Program is responsible for a wide range of
planning activities. The Program is the principal staff agency of
the executive branch for coordinating plans for the comprehensive
development of the state's human, economic and physical resources.
In addition, the Program has the responsibility to prepare, con-
tinously evaluate, extend and revise a long-range State Guide
Plan. The State Guide Plan is based on identified goals and po-
licies and emphasizes the relative impact of alternative courses
of action.
The Program's functional activities can be grouped into four
areas: 1) the state guide plan; 2) government management and
coordination; 3) planning information base; 4) special projects.
'A detailed discussion of these four planning functions has been
extracted from the Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program Annual
Report, Fiscal Year 1973-1974, and attached as part of Exhibit G.
Since its inception in 1964, the Program has been involved

8-3

in a variety of statewide comprehensive planning activities for
physical, economic and human resource development, many of a mag-
nitude similar to that of the "208' planning effort. The list of
publications reproduced in Exhibit G illustrates the range of these
activities. Where appropriate, this list includes an estimated
degree of implementation for each project.

F. Relationship With Other Planning Agencies

The Program's planning coordination function is prepared
in accordance with the assignment of planning functions under
state law, executive order, and inter-agency and intergovernmental
agreement.

This coordination function is carried out by a committee
structure which includes the following bodies:

1. The State Planning Council, comprised of the Director
of Administration, as Chairman, and nine other heads of state
department eaid;,agendies, :appointed by the Governor; five offi-
cials of local government (mayors, managers, administrators, or
council presidents), appointed by the Rhode Island League of Cities
and Towns, ten public members appointed by the Governor, and repre-
sentatives of federal agencies, invited to serveby the Governor
or the Council, who are non-voting members. The Council provides
representation of a broad range of interests and viewpoints in the
state planning process. It assists the Program staff in coordi-
nating planning and development activities of governmental agencies
at all levels and the private sectors. All statements of goals and
policies and all elements of the State Guide Plan must be approved
by the Council.

2. ' The Technical Committee, appointed by the State Planning
Council, is also comprised of state, local, public, and federal
representatives. The Committee advises the Program staff on
technical procedures, monitors work in progress, and reviews all
major studies and makes recommendations thereon to the State
Planning Council. The Committee acts on all proposals reviewed
under the Project Notification and Review System established by
Office of !Management and Budget Circular A-95, Part I.

3. Technical Subcommittees are appointed as required to
assist the State Planning Council, the Technical Committee, or
the staff in a specific functional or operational area. Subcom-
mittees normally include both members of the Technical Committee
and others and exist for a limited period of time only. Sub-
committees have been appointed in the areas of land use, public
transportation, traffic engineering, civil defense, highway pro-
ject review, and substate districting.

In addition to the State Planning Council and its committee

8-4

structure, the Statewide Planning Program is associated with,
represented on, or provides staff services to the following commit-
tees and organizations in performing governmental management and
coordinating functions.

G. Relationship With Regulatory and Management Agencies

The Program also maintains working relationships with various
management and regulatory agencies that exercise zoning and sub-
division controls, as well as those which construct and operate
wastewater facilities. Zoning and subdivision controls are ex-
ersized by the cities and towns in the designated area. Figure
8-1 illustrates these relationships with management and regulatory
agencies.

H. Recent Activities in Water Quality Management Planning

The Program has prepared water supply and wastewater treatment
disposal elements of the State Guide Plan (adopted by the State
Planning Council in 1969), ten interim sub-basin plans under prior
federal regulations, facilities plans under Section 201 of the 1972
act, the state's continuing planning process under Section 303(e)
of the 1972 act, and three basin plans in accordance with this pro-
cess. Two additional basin plans are in preparation and plans for
all seven basins in the state will be completed by December 31,
1975. The Program has also been responsible for Rhode Island's
participation in Study Element 3.02, "Water Quality Control,"
for the Southeastern New England Study of Water and Related
Land Resources. Water quality management plans prepared by the

I. Agency Capability

The Statewide Planning Program is currently authorized a
staff of 41 distributed as follows:

Professional 19
Technical 12
Administrative and Clerical 6
Trainees 4

Thirty-six of these positions were filled as of the date of
this submission. This staff may be augmented by consultants if re-
quired for preparation of the '"208" plan. One personal services
contract for a planning consultant, engaged to prepare the "1208"
work program was in effect at the time of this submission.

The Program's Senior Sanitary Engineer has a Master of Science
degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering. He guided the pre-
paration of the water quality planning element for the four Rhode
Island planning areas of the SENE Study. Other staff members have
education and experience in urban planning, public administration,
economics and civil engineering.

The Program staff relies upon members of the Rhode Island
Department of Health's Division of 1water Supply and Pollution Con-
trol for professional advice in wastewater and related matters,

J. Agency Funding

The Program has a long history of comprehensive planning, in-
cluding a wide range of functional elements. The Program is finan-
cially supported by an annual state appropriation. This appropria-
tion is used for the Program's activities and as a matching fund
for federal grants. No other activities or programs would preclude
an active water quality management program under Section 208. In-
stead, land use, recreation, conservation and open space, transpor-
tation, water supply and water quality activities can complement
one another.

Mr. William D. Toole
Executive Director Nt
Southeastern Regional Planning and
Economic Development District
68 Winthrop Street
Taunton, Massachusetts 02780

Dear Mr. Toole:

We have been informed by Mr. Alex Zaleski of your staff
and by a representative of the Tiverton Sewer Commission that
the Town of Tiverton has filed a "letter of intent" to par-
ticipate in a wastewater management planning study to be
undertaken by your agency under Section 208 of the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972. This ar-
rangement would appear to be logical, since the state plan
for public sewerage facility development, an element of the
State Guide Plan, recommends that Tiverton be served by the
Fall River waste water treatment facility. Tiverton is also
within the Fall River urbanized area and standard metro-
politan statistical area.

This agency has no objection to inclusion of Tiverton
in the proposed study', but we would also like to bring four
points to your attention:

1) We would expect that statewide estimates of pop-
ulation, employment, and related factors prepared
by this office would be utilized whenever areawide
information of this kind is needed for the study.
This is essential to insure that any proposals
affecting the Rhode Island portion of the study
area will be consistent with other plans and
programs.

I
A-!

2) Several elements of the State Guide Plan are
relevant to a "208" study. These would include
goals and policies for development and plan el-
ements on land use, water supply,wastewater
treatment and disposal, transportation, recreation,
and possibly others. We would expect that the
recomendations emerging from the "208"1 study
would be in conformance with these plan elements
as they pertain to Tiverton or other areas in
Rhode Island.

3) The Statewide Planning Program and the Rhode
Island Department of Health are preparing water
quality management plans for all Rhode Island
river basins in accordance with Section 303 (e)
of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act A-
mendments of 1972. Tiverton will be covered by
the plan for the Narragansett Bay basin. These
two planning efforts must be closely coordinated.

4) Rhode Island is considering undertaking a "208"
study on a statewide basis. If we proceed, it
will be necessary to set up arrangements to
accomodate Tiverton in this effort in a slightly
different way than the other municipalities. I
presume that this can be accomplished on an in-
formal basis when and if the need arises.

Please keep us advised of your progress in this matter.

Dear r. Varin:

We have received your letter supporting the inclusion of Tiverton,
Rhode Island, in our wastewater management study under Section 208,
and are in full agreement with the points you have raised regarding
the logistics of SRPEDD's studying the Town. Your prompt response
to our request for a letter was appreciated.

This office agrees with specific points that you have raised, and
we will soon need information from your office on future plans
for Tiverton such as land use, water supply, transportation, pro-
jections, etc. This information will be important during the pre-
paration of a plan of study. At the time this detailed informa-
tion becomes necessary, we will be in contact with your office.
We would also appreciate your agency's comments on the plan of
study when it is prepared.

I have enclosed a documentation package as requested by EPA in sup-
port of the designation of SRPEDD and the proposed study area. The
format of this document conforms to the EPA outline entitled "Sub-
stantiating Information Required to be Submitted in Regard to Des-
ignations Under Section 208". It should be of assistance to you
in preparing your own designation package.

We shall be in contact as this effort develops further but in the
meantime, do not he tate to call.

January 28, 1975

Dear Mr.

As you know, Section 208 of the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act Amendments of 1972 (PL 92-500) stresses areawide
waste treatment planning by local governments. This "208"
planning is dependent upon the full participation and coopera-
tion of all the state's cities and towns. The purpose of this
letter is to solicit your community's participation in the area-
wide waste treatment management planning process and to outline
for you the general provisions and requirements of Section 208.

When Congress passed this Act, it recognized that some water
quality problems in the United States are of such complexity
and severity that they cannot be solved by technology alone.
For this reason, the development of an areawide waste treatment
planning process is suggested under Section 208 of the Act.
Section 208 planning involves itself in areas of severe water
pollution control problems, caused by intensive urban-industrial
concentrations or other factors. Section 208 calls for the
-Governor to designate localities which meet the "208"planning
area criteria. He must also designate a planning agency to
serve each "208" area, according to certain criteria. These
criteria were set forth in the Federal Register of September 14,
1973, in sections 126.10 and 126.11. Copies of these criteria
and of the provisions of Section 208 of the Act are enclosed as
Attachments A and B.

The "208" planning process calls upon local governments in
a particular planning area to develop and implement a strategy
that eliminates common water quality management problems. Be-
cause of Rhode Island's compactness and the interrelatedness of
water quality management problems among all the state's communi-
ties, Governor Noel has advised the United States Environmental

B-1

- 2 - January 28, 1975

Protection Agency, the federal agency responsible for adminis-
tering the provisions of the Act of his intent to designate
the entire state as a single "20" planning area.

Governor Noel has also expressed his intent to designate the
Department of Administration, Division of Statewide Planning,
as the "208" planning agency. Local input to the statewide
planning process is assured through the State Planning Council,
which reviews, approves, and provides policy advice and guidance
on the planning activities of the Division of Statewide Planning.
The Council's membership consists of federal, state, and local
officials. Local government interests are represented by five
members appointed by the Rhode Island League of Cities and Towns.
For calendar year 1974, the communities represented were:
Providence, Cranston, Newport, Warwick and Westerly. If the
Division of Statewide Planning is designated as the 208 Planning
Agency, the Council will ask every city and town to appoint an
individual to serve and represent the community's interest on a
special "208" planning subcommittee, thus enabling all of the
state's municipalities to participate in the planning process
for areawide waste treatment management.

Cooperation and participation by local governments is essen-
tial to development of the "208" plan. EPA requires formal
adoption by each community of a resolution of intent to join
with other communities and the designated planning agency to
develop and implemrent a plan which will result in a coordinated
waste treatment management system for the designated area.
Under the provisions of section 208(f) (2) of the Act, 100 per-
cent federal funding is available for a two-year planning period,
provided that the application is approved by EPA prior to July 1,
1975. It is-therefore necessary for your community to give
early conside(ation to participation in the program. Adoption
of a resolution of intent is the first step for participation.
If the state xi-to take advantage of the Act's 100 percent fund-
ing provisionTia resolution similar to the one suggested in
Attachment C must-be adopted by your community as soon as possible.

Input from the general public is also essential to the "208"
planning process. A public hearing will be held by the Gover-
nor's Office to solicit the testimony and conments of all inter-
ested parties on the proposed designation of the 208 planning
area and agency. Representatives of local and regional govern-
ments and organizations, private organizations, and members of
the general public are urged to attend this hearing. Details as
to the time and place of the hearing will be published in the
near future.

EXECUTIVE ORDER
NO. 10
JUNE 22, 1970

WHEREAS, the people of this state have a fundamental
interest in the orderly development of the state; the state has
a positive interest and demonstrated need for establishment of
a comprehensive state planning process and the preparation, main-
tenance, and implementation of long-range plans for the physical,
economic, and social development of the state; the continued growth
and development of the state presents problems which cannot be met
by the cities and towns individually and which require effective
planning by the state; and state and local plans and programs must
be properly coordinated with the planning requirements and programs
of the federal government; and

WHEREAS, Section 42-11-2 of the General Laws of 1953,
as amended, has been further amended to establish a statewide
planning program in the Department of Administration, in order
to promote the proper development of the state's humai, economic,
and physical resources, and thereby promote the health, safety,
and general welfare of its citizens by placing the state's com-
prehensive planning activities on a more permanent and continuing
basis by creating an agency for comprehensive statewide planning
within the executive branch;

NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in
me as Governor of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Planta-
tions, I order that:
(1) The Statewide Planning Program shall be the principal
staff agency of the executive branch for coordinating plans for the
comprehensive development of the state's human, economic, and phy-
sical resources.

Page 2 'Date June 22, 1970

(2) The Statewide Planning Program shall prepare, con-
tinuously evaluate, extend, and prepare revisions to a long-range
state guide plan. The state guide plan shall be based on identified
goals and policies and shall emphasize the relative impact of alter-
native courses of action. The state guide plan shall provide for
the physical, economic, and social development of the state. The
state guide plan and modifications to the plan may be formulated and
adopted in functional or territorial sections.

(3) In conformance with state financial procedures, the
Director of the Department of Administration is authorized to apply
for and accept funds from the federal government or other official
agencies which are available to assist state planning activities,
and to contract with the federal government or other official agen-
cies concerning the use and disposition of these funds.

(4) A state planning council is hereby established to
provide policy advice and guidance to state planning activities.
The state planning council shall consist of:

(a) The Director of the Department of Administration
as Chairman and not more than 9 heads of state
departments and agencies who shall be appointed
by the Governor to serve at his pleasure and during
their terms of office.

(b) Not more than 5 officials of local government

Re: Powers and Duties of the R.I.
Department of Administration

Dear Mr. Hays:

As counsel to the Department of Administration
of the State of Rhode Island, I have examined sub-
paragraph (v) of Section 42-11-2 of the General Laws
of Rhode Island, 1956, as amended (1969 reenactment)
and Executive Order Number 10, issued and signed by
Governor Frank Licht, which order became effective
on June 22, 1970. This section of the General Laws
and the aforementioned Executive Order pertain to the
powers and duties of the Department of Administration
in administering statewide planning activities.

From my examination of the above said authorities
it is my opinion that:

(1) The Department of Administration for the
State of Rhode Island is legally empowered to ad-
minister a statewide planning program, including
planning assistance to the state departments and
agencies;

(2) The Director of said Department of Admini-
stration is authorized to apply for and accept funds
from the federal government or other official agencies
which are available to assist the state in statewide
planning activities, and to contract with the federal
government or other official agencies concerning the
use and disposition of said funds;

D-5

Mr. David W. Hays -2- July 11, 1972

(3) The Director of said Department of Admini-
stration is empowered to act as the authorized rep-
resentative of said Department as applicant in con-
nection with all matters pertaining to an application
for a grant for statewide planning and is authorized
to enter into any grant agreement which may be required
with respect to an application for said funds.

Further, I have no knowledge of any current or
pending litigation which would prevent said Department
of Administration or the statewide planning program
from conducting planning activities under federal
grants, including a grant under the Integrated Grant
Administration Program.

the functions of the Council for the new members. He noted that
review of the Statewide Planning Program's work program and State
Guide Plan are the major areas of concern.

3. Minutes of the Previous Meeting
Mr. Jerue called for action on the minutes of the meeting of
December 30, 1974. Mr. DelSesto moved that:

THE MINUTES BE APPROVED AS SUBMITTED
The motion was seconded by Mayor Donnelly. The motion carried.

4. Chief's Progress Report

1 ~~~~~~~~~4

N~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~,w~

A paper on pipeline transportation is in preparation. (Copies were
distributed to members present)
d. Recreation studies
Two studies leading to revision of the recreation element of
the State Guide Plan have been completed. These are:

Report Number 21, Report of the Trail Advisory Committee

I ~(Copies were distributed to members present)

e. Origin-Destination Update Study

Technical Papers documenting two aspects of' the update sur-
veys of travel patterns have been completed. These are:
I ~~~No. 49 - Analysis of Interview Bias in the Home Interview
Survey Portion of the 1971-72 Rhode Island Origin Destination
* ~~~Update Survey.

No. 51 - Airport Travel Cordon Survey,, 1971-72 Rhode Island
Origin-Destination Update Study.

(Copies were distributed to members present)

* ~5, Adoption of Rules of Procedure

(Review of project proposals by the R~hode Island Port Authority
* ~and Economic Development Corporation.)

Mr. Jerue reviewed previous action taken on the rules. At the
E ~meeting on November 13, 1974, the Council accepted draft rules of
procedure for review of porposals by the Rhode Island Port Authority
and Economic Development Corporation, for a public hearing. The
hearing was held on January 27, 1975. A report on the hearing was
* ~distributed to members present.

Mr. Varin reported that as a result of suggestions made at the
hearing, a revised draft of the rules was prepared. This revision
I ~attempts to respond to all but one of the comments made at the hearing,
although in several instances the comments have been handled in a
* ~somewhat different way than suggested.

Mr. Varin reviewed each of the revised rules. He noted that the

only major comment not covered in some way in the revised draft was

* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5

I ~a proposal to add a provision stating that, "The Council shall not
undertake to alter, amend or in any way revise the State Guide Plan
because of' the issues presented by the proposed project." We consider
I ~any such effort to restrict the future content or scope of' the State
Guide Plan to be extremely ill-advised. Such a provision could
conceivably prevent the Council from correcting an obvious error In
the Plan., or even from adopting an entire new element, if the need
for such action was first perceived as a result of' reviewing an
Economic Development Corporation proposal.

I ~~Mr,. Rob erson presented to the Council the following amendments
to the proposed rules:

1. Delete rule 2.05.
Renumber rule 2.06 as 2.05.

2. Amend rule 3.01 as shown by following underlined section:

Rule 3. Procedure

I ~~~3.01 Requests for a determination of conformity of proposed
projects with the State Guide Plan shall be submitted by the
Corporation to the Secretary of the Council. All requests shall
U ~~be in written form and shall contain a general description of the
proposed project describing in reasonable detail its location,
nature and size. The description shall include, but not be
limited to, the following information when by reason of location,
I ~~nature and size of the proposed project the Secretary finds that
such specific information is relevant to a finding of conformance
or non-conformance with the State Guide Plan: information dis-
I ~~closing the project's probable need for water supply, wastewater
treatment, solid waste disposal, transportation access, and par-
king, and reliable estimates of the number of persons to be
I ~~employed, the amount of primary energy to be consumed or produced,
and the amount and type of air pollution emissions, wastewater
discharges, and solid waste to be produced.

I ~~Mr. Varin remarked that the proposed amendment to rule 3.01 is
needed because of the wide range of projects that will be reviewe~d.

I ~~Mr. Coletta remarked that under this manedment, the Secretary's
discretion only comes into play as regards "location, nature, and
size.`
Mr. Varin replied that the word "nature" was very flexible and
would provide for some discretion.
I ~~Mr. Varin requested the Council to accept the revised draft or
amendments for a public hearing, since major changes had been made
* ~since the first hearing.

Mr. Kemekawa asked Mr. Varin why he felt another public hearing
.was needed.

Mr. Varin replied that enough interest was shown in the first
hearing and the proposed rules contain major revisions.

Mrs. Wolk noted that because of the new members' unfamiliarity
with the rules and the proposed revisions she believed a hearing
should be held.

Mr. Casey asked if there was anything that required an additional
hearing.

Mr. Jerue said no, and noted that the basic revisions came out of
the first public hearing.

Action: Mr. Mauro moved that:

A PUBLIC HEARING NOT BE HELD ON THE AMENDMENTS AS PRESENTED

The motion was seconded by Mr. Picerne. The motion carried with
14 members in favor and 4 members opposed.

Mr. Heisler questioned what elements of the "State Guide Plan"
will be used, as required in rule 2.04, by the Council in their
review of a proposal. He felt that this should be specified more
carefully.

Action: Mr. DelSesto moved that:

RULE 2.04 BE AMENDED BY ADDITION OF THE PHRASE "IN EFFECT AT THE
TIME A PROPOSAL IS RECEIVED AS" AFTER THE WORDS "PLAN ELEMENTS."

The motion was seconded by Mr. McDevitt. The motion carried.

Mr. Wells moved that:

RULE 2.05 BE DELETED AND RULE 2.06 BE RENUMBERED AS RULE 2.05

The motion was seconded by Mr. Roorback. The motion carried.

Mayor Donnelly moved that:

RULE 3.01 BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE THE PHRASE "THE FOLLOWING INFOR-
MATION WHEN BY REASON OF LOCATION, NATURE AND SIZE OF THE PROPOSED
PROJECT THE SECRETARY FINDS THAT SUCH SPECIFIC INFORMATION IS
RELEVANT TO A FINDING OF CONFORMANCE OR NON-CONFORMANCE WITH THE
STATE GUIDE PLAN" AFTER THE WORDS "BUT NOT LIMITED TO."

The motion was seconded by Mr. Mauro. The motion carried.

Mayor Donnelly moved that:

THE PROPOSED RULES FOR REVIEW OF AND ACTION UPON PROJECTS PROPOSED
BY THE RHODE ISLAND PORT AUTHORITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
CORPORATION BE ADOPTED AS AMENDED

The motion was seconded by Miss Hackett. The motion carried.

6. Actions required by Section 5 of the National Mass Transportation
Assistance Act of 1974

Mr. Geremia explained that legislation adopted by Congress and
approved by the President on November 26, 1974 makes increased funding
available for public transit systems. For the first time, federal
assistance is available to help offset transit operating deficits.

Rhode Island is eligible to receive approximately $22,214,ooo in
federal mass transportation assistance over the six year period
fy 1975 through fy 1980 under this act. Of this total, an estimated
$1,676,000 is available during this fiscal year if the state acts
quickly to meet Legislative and Urban Mass Transportation Administra-
tion requirements and deadlines.

The two most immediate requirements are (1) to designate one or
more recipients for the federal funds; and (2) to approve a program
of projects describing the operating and capital projects proposed
for federal assistance. Both requirements must be acted upon by the
State Planning Council by March l, 1975.

The recipient(s) must be jointly designated by the Governor, the
State Planning Council, and the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority.
The federal legislation requires that the recipient(s) must have all
of the following specific authority and responsibilities:

1) Receive and dispense Federal funds for transit purposes;

2) Submit a program of projects to UMTA and the Governor through
the Statewide Planning Program;

3) Submit project applications to UMTA for each project included
in the program;

4) Enter into formal project agreements with UMTA; and

5) Certify that a public hearing has been conducted.

The recipient(s) must have the legal capacity to enter into a
formal project agreement with UMTA, but it need not be the direct

user of funds or provider of services. The designation of a single
recipient is encouraged, but several recipients may be designated.
Such designation shall be accompanied by documentation indicating the
joint concurrence of the Governor, the State Planning Council and
the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority.

Mr. Geremia noted that it is the staff recommendation that the
R.I. Department of Transportation be designated the recipient agency
by the Council.

Action: Mr. Williamson moved that:

THE RHODE ISLAND DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION BE DESIGNATED AS
THE STATE RECIPIENT AGENCY OF FUNDS MADE AVAILABLE UNDER THE
NATIONAL MASS TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE ACT OF 1974

The motion was seconded by Mr. Roorback. The motion carried.

Mr. Geremia continued by explaining that the designated recipient(s
must submit to UMTA, through the Statewide Planning Program, a single
annual program of projects consisting of projects with a total federal
funding requirement not to exceed the amount apportioned to the
urbanized area. The program shall include:

1) A narrative description of how the program of projects
relates to the Transit Development Program and how each
project contributes to a unified or officially coordinated
transportation system;

2) Descriptive material sufficient to identify each project;

3) The name of the recipient who will submit a formal project
application to UMTA, and the name of the entity that will
actually carry out the project; and

4) An expression of intent to submit a program of actions for
improving the efficienty of transit services with the fiscal
year 1976 program of projects.

It is the responsibility of the State Planning Council to annually
review and endorse the program of projects as a product of the contin-
uing comprehensive planning process and to forward the endorsed
program to the Governor and UMTA.

This fiscal year's Annual Program of Section 5 Projects for FY '75
consists of three operating assistance projects:

1. Operating Assistance for RIPTA
2. Operating Assistance for train #508 operated by Penn Central
Transportation Company

3. Operating Assistance for Senior Citizens Transportation,
Incorporated

It is estimated the federal share for these projects will be as
follows:

1. RIPTA - $ 850,000.00
2. Train 508 - $16,000.00
3. SCT, Inc. - $17,000.00

Mr. Geremia noted that these amounts are to cover operating
losses until June 30, 1975.

Discussion:

Mr. Coletta noted that if money allocated to cover deficits is
required annually after initial award for such purposes there
exists the possibility that there would be no funds available for
capital improvements in the future. Mr. Geremia replied that estimates
now show that there will be money in excess of what is required for
operating subsidies, at least until 1977. Other federal programs
also provide grants for capital improvements.

Mr. Roorback noted that the money allocated to the "508" seems
excessive in comparison to the estimated 100 passengers per day the
train serves. Mr. George noted that with the energy crisis and the
need to get the people out of their cars it is wise to support the
"508` for its potential in effective mass transit. Mr. Varin noted
that the "508" is preliminary to a better system in the future.

Mrs. Leven asked if SCT could use these funds for the purchase
of new busses? Mr. Geremia replied that it was only to be used for
operating deficit but that SCT is applying under another program for
capital improvement funds.

Mr. Casey asked if the Council's commitments would be to the
concept or the organization.

Mr. Geremia replied that it would definitely be to the concept.

Mr. Heisler asked if funding SCT would create a competitive system
for RIPTA. Mr. Geremia noted that SCT was a different concept from
RIPTA in that they use mini-busses and pick up passengers at their
residence. He said that the Council could monitor any apparent
conflict in their annual review of the programs.

Mr. Geremia also noted that, although he is Vice President of
Senior Citizen's Transportation, Inc., he receives no monetary or
other benefits from the corporation, nor would he if the Corporation

received funds as proposed. He stated that he had not taken part in
SCT's decision to seek federal assistance under the new legislation.

Action: Mr. Roorback moved that:

THE ANNUAL PROGRAM OF SECTION 5 PROJECTS BE ACCEPTED AS SUBMITTED

The motion was seconded by Mr. West. The motion carried.

7. Completion of airport system planning project, Federal Aviation
Administration Project Number 72-1-S-44-0044-01-7.'

Mr. Varin reported that subsequent discussions with FAA disclosed
that the airport system planning project and grant must be closed out
by Council action before (1) the Program can receive payment for the
work accomplished and (2) any further work can be funded. Additional
work on the state airport system plan is needed, particularly in
studying the future roles of T. F. Green and Quonset State Airports
and in revising forecasts of all types of aviation activity under
revised assumptions of population and employment and energy cost and
availability. Extension of the plan to year 2000 should also be
considered.

Mr. Varin requested approval of the following documents:

a) Technical Paper Number 17, Supplement 3 and Final Report -
State Airport System Airline Passenger Ticket Survey, June,
1972 (Number (6) above);

b) Report Number 16, Preliminary State Airport System Plan,
1970 - 1990, March 1972 (Number (7) above); and

c) Revised Summary Report - State Airport System Plan, 1970 -
1990, October, 1974 (Number (10) above);

for submittal to FAA for purposes of completing Project Number
72-1-S-44-0044-01-72.

Mr. Paris of the FAA, requested that action not be taken just
for the sake of closing out the project, but rather showwhere any
dissatisfaction exists to support requests for further studies.

Mr. Varin replied that all of the recommendations emerging from
this study, as modified through an extended review process and several
public meetings and hearings, appear in the Revised Summary Report -
State Airport System Plan, 1970 - 1990 and have been incorporated in
the State Guide Plan by adoption of the Rhode Island Transportation
Plan - 1990.

Action: Mr. Kumekawa moved that:

THE DOCUMENTS BE APPROVED FOR SUBMITTAL TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION
ADMINISTRATION IN COMPLETION OF PROJECT NUMBER 72-1-S-44-o044-01-
72

The motion was seconded by Mr. Williamson. The motion carried
with Mr. Geroge in the negative.

8o Other Business

Mr. Parmentier reported that the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act as amended was approved by Congress in October 1972. The act
authorized over 18 billion dollars for constructing waste treatment
works at 75% of the cost and for areawide waste treatment management
programs.

A needs survey conducted in 1974 indicated that it would cost
approximately 1.5 billion dollars to pay for the state's water pol-
lution control needs in the next 15 years, and nationwide approximate-
ly 500 billion dollars would be required.

The Act requires 3 types and levels of planning:

1) 303 plans are done on a basinwide scale. Seven plans are in
preparatibn and three have beehi completed in draft form.

2) 208 plans are usually done for a portion of a basin where
there is an urban industrial concentration or an existing or
potential groundwater pollution problem.

3) 201 plans are for facility design and usually involve no more
than 2 or 3 communities. .-
With.respect to the 208 funds, the Governor had three options,
two of which can be considered as positive actions (designation or non-
designation. ~OnFebruary 8,:1974, the Governor informed the Regional
Administrado' that he was non-aesignating th~e entire ..state. He has,
since then, however, expressed his intent to the Regional Administratoi
to designate the entire state as a single 208 area and the Statewide
Planning Program as the designated agency for planning. This action
was.taken by the Governor on December 20, 19.74.

Mr. Varin requested that the Council authorize formation of a
special policy advisory committee as a means of facilitating partici-
pation of local governments in the areawide wastewater treatment
management process. EPA has expressed concern about the limited
number of cities and towns now represented on the State Planning
Council. He proposed that either the R.I. League of Cities and Towns

be asked to organize such a committee, with financial support from
the project grant, or that the staff undertake this work. In either
event, the chief official or his representative of each city and town
in the state would be invited to serve. Representatives of commu-
nities participating in the study through an appropriate local re-
solution would be voting members. Representatives of other communi-
ties, and perhaps other members, would be associate members. Pro-
vision should also be made for inclusion of nearby Massachusetts
communities who are directly concerned in Rhode Island wastewater
treatment management arrangements, such as Millville and Blackstone
which adjoin Woonsocket.

Mr. DelSesto suggested that it should also be possible for
Connecticut communities to participate, citing the proximity of
Pawcatuck and Stonington, Connecticut, to Westerly. Mr. Varin agreed
that this should also be provided for.

Mrs. Wolk noted that EPA also requires citizen participation in
the "20811 process. Mr. Varin replied that, although the committee
proposed at this time emphasized participation by local governments
in order to meet EPA requirements in that area, the committee could
include other representatives and that other procedures for citizen
participation were being developed by the staff and an Ecology Action.
Clean Water Committee representative.

Mr. DelSesto stated that approval of the proposed resolution by
any city would forfeit their right to apply for federal wastewater
treatment grants. Mr. Fingliss responded that the sample resolution
sent to each community was only a guide, which could be modified or
completely rewritten to meet local concerns.

Mr. Williamson asked how the "208" program affected the recommen-
dations of the Governor's Environmental Task Force on water supply
and sewage disposal. Mr. Varin replied that, since the Task Force
recommendations had been prepared before guidelines for the "208"
program were available, they should now be reviewed.

Mr. Heisler moved that:

THIS COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A POLICY ADVISORY
COMMITTEE ON AREAWIDE WASTEWATER TREATMENT MANAGEMENT AS PROPOSED
BY THE STAFF

The motion was seconded by Mr. Kumekawa. The motion carried.

I ~~~~~~PART TWO: THF STATE GUIDE PLAN

I ~~~a. Goals and Policies for Development (IGA 141.203)

The State Planning Council adopted a statement of goals and
I ~policies in September, 1969, to give direction to all elements of
the State Guide Plan, and to prescribe the work of the Statewide
Planning Program. However, because it is essential to the planning
,process to continuously review, and revise as necessary, the origi-
nal goals and policies state'ment to reflect changing conditions and
new public attitudes, the Program staff de~veloped a goals and poli-
cies survey questionnaire. The questionnaire was mailed to a sample
I ~of Rhode Island households, to solicit comments on planning priori--
ties in fiscal year 1973. Slightly more than 35 percent of the vali~
sample were returned and codified for data processing. The Program
staff proceeded to analyze the responses in fiscal year 1974, after
an adjustment was made to the questionnaire response to correct an
unacceptable bias caused by a difference in educational levels of
the respondents as compared with the state's population IS years and
over as reported in the 1970 census.
A revised 1969 Goals and Policies statement, presenting the
I ~major directions of future state actions, was drafted based on in-
terviews with state agency officials and the data obtained through
the questionnaire survey. It will be published in fiscal year
I ~1975, in conjunction with a technical paper analyzing the methodo-
logy and results of the goals and policies survey. This revised
statement will present goals and associated policies within the
broad areas of 1) human resources, 2) economic development, 3)
physical development, and 4) facilities and services.
3 ~~~b. Land Use Policies and Plans (IGA 14.203)

(1) State Land Use Plan

The State Land Use Policies and Plan (draft) and an accompany-
ing Summary of the Report on State Land Use Policies and Plan 'were
published during fiscal year 1973. The draft report was reviewed
by other agencies, organizations and the public during fiscal year
1974, and all comments were considered and, where appropriate, in-
corporated into the plan. A number of other modifications remain
to be made to reflect reuse of surplus Naval property and other
recent changes in the state's land use patterns.
Research began in the "critical areas" land. use control tech-
nique which Is proposed In the implementation section of the plan.
The results of this study will be published in a report describing
the critical areas concept, the legal issues involved, the experi-
3 ~~ences of other states,. and the possible critical areas in Rhode
Island, with suggestions for creating a regulatory framework. The

Program staff also gave presentations on the land use plan to
interested groups at their invitation. These groups included muni-
cipal officials, local agencies, church organizations, real estate
and development interests, the press, federal officials, environ-
mental organizations, college classes, and the general public.

(2) Land Use Plan and Air Quality Study

This project was sponsored by the New England Consortium on
the Environment, and was Jointly prepared by student interns work-
ing for the Program and the state Department of Health. The study
presents the data utilized and describes the methodology used to
compare present and future (under the 1990 land use plan) air pol-
lution emissions for the state, The emissions data can be applied
to a model to estimate air quality levels associated with the land
use patterns proposed by the plan.

(3) Study of Coordination of State Land Acquisition and Dispo-
sition With the State Guide Plan

This report was prepared by a student affiliated with the En-
vironmental Intern Program coordinated by the Audubon Society of
Massachusetts. It analyzes the state's land acquisition laws,
focusing on radequiate cross-references, and on the State Properties
Committeeoi Jurisdiction, discusses coordination of acquisition with
the State lGuide Plan, as provided by statute and as currently prac--
ticed; and offers recommendations for clarifying agencies' Juris-
diction and for improving coordination. A bill providing for review;
of state land acquisition and disposition actions was introduced
in the 1974 General Assembly session.

(4) S',udy of Implementation in Rhode Island of the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972

This study was prepared by a summer intern who was sponsored
and financed b,- the Audubon Society of Massachusetts. It probes
the relations-ttip in Rhode Island between state water quality manage-
ment activities snd the State Guide Plan, with emphasis on the
state's response to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amend-
ments of 1972.

c. Water Quality Management Plan (IGA 66.407)

The Water Quality Management Plan is being prepared in accord-
ance with the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, as amen-
ded, and will be organized on the basis of the eight major natural
drainage basins in the state in the following sequence: (1) Woon-
asquatucket, (2) Moshassuck, (3) Blackstone, (4) Pawtuxet3 (5) Nar-
ragansett Bay--Coastal, (6) Pawcatuck, (7) Hoosup, and (8) AdamsvillE

Draft Water Quality Management Plans were completed for staff

review for the Woonasquatucket and Moshassuck River Basins during
the fiscal year. These documents describe the river basins and the
communities within their boundaries, existing municipal sewerage
systems. point sources of pollution as identified by the state
Department of Health, and the determinants (land use, population,
transportation) used for recommendations.

The Program staff also completed an Initerimh Sub Basin Plan for
Aquidneck Island, and a wastewater treatment facilities plan for the
Westerly Sub Basin, initiated work on the management plan for the
Blackstone River Basin, and a wastewater treatment facilities plan
for the Smithfield Sub Basin: and prepared in accordance with En-
vironmental Protection Agency guidelines, a revision of the state's
Continuing Planning Process, pursuant to Title III, Section 303(e)
of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.

d. Recreation Plan (15.401)

The Recreation Guide Plan is designed to improve the program-
ming of acquisition and development of recreation facilities, con-
servation areas, and open space, to encourage orderly urban growth,
and to provide these areas and facilities for all families and indi-
viduals. Special emphasis is placed on the needs of low income
and minority groups and on enhancement of the environment. This
element of the State Guide Plan was adopted by the State Planning
Council on June 30, 1971. A Supplement covering the local recrea-
tion system was approved by the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation and
adopted by the State Planning Council on October 17, 1973.

The Program staff proceeded to develop the 1975 State Compre-
hensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) in fiscal year 1974, in
cooperation with the Department of Natural Resources. Other state
plans were reviewed, a tentative plan format was developed, and an
analysis of Rhode Island's "State Characteristics" was initiated.
Table I illustrates the fiscal year 1974 progress on the analysis
"State Characteristics."

Nine other areas of work were pursued by the Program staff in
support of the 1975 SCORP.

(1) State and Local Recreation Conservation and Open Space
Inventory

The inventory is designed to include: 1) listings by location
(city and town) showing administering jurisdiction (federal, state
or local); 2) maps at a scale of one inch to 2,000 feet with a juris
dictional listing; and 3) maps at a scale of one inch to 6,000 feet
with a'listing illustrating facilities. Facilities inventoried
during fiscal year 1974 were: 1) public and private salt and fresh
water beaches, 2) boatyards, yacht and boat clubs and golf courses;
and 3) listings for all state-owned recreation land by city and

town with the administering jurisdiction. The mapping, of the re-
creation areas at one inch to 2,000 feet was delayed until fiscal
year 1975, pending the delivery of updated U.S. Geological Survey
Maps.

(2) Inventory of Private and Semi-Private Outdoor Recreation
Facilities

The Annual Work Program was amended to enable the state to
actively participate in the nationwide inventory of private and
semi-private recreation facilities being conducted by the National
Association of Conservation Districts. Under the leadership of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, the
Statewide Planning Program and state Department of Natural Resources
inventoried the private and semi-private recreational facilities
and mapped the information on the state county highway series maps
(one inch to 23640 feet).

(3) Trail Plan

The Statewide Planning Program is represented on the Trail
Advisory Committee during the preparation of a Trail Plan Advisory
Report to be utilized in the preparation of a trail plan for the
1975 SCORP. Work on the elements of the Advisory Report included
a statement of issues, a trail marking system, estimation of oppor-
tunities for trail development, planning and implementation, prob-
lem areas and recommended solutions, and analysis of landowner lia-
bility laws. Completion of the Advisory Report is scheduled for the
first quarter of fiscal year 1975.

(4) Demand Study

Through the cooperative efforts of the Statewide Planning Pro-
gram, the state Department of Natural Resources, and the University
of Rhode Island, a survey was developed to measure recreation demand
in the state. This survey, scheduled to be conducted in fiscal year
1975, will utilize both a site survey to determine out-of-state
usage of Rhode Island facilities, and a questionnaire sampling of
1,000 Rhode Island residents to measure ',in-state'" usage.

(5) Fresh Water Wetlands

The Program staff initiated an evaluation of the state's fresh
water wetlands. Over 3,200 wetlands were numbered and identified
on sepia base maps, and staff members proceeded to prepare the
wetland identification numbers and corresponding acreage for data
processing. This information will be merged with the Environmental
Inventory described in Part IV-C. Work also proceeded on the pre-
paration of rules and regulations for use by the state Department
of Natural Resources in the administration of the wetlands program.

(6) Bay Islands Study

The Bay Islands Study is being prepared by the University of
Rhode Island's Coastal Resources Center with assistance from the
state Department of Natural Resources and the state Department of
Community Affairs! and is being coordinated by the Statewide Plan-
ning Program as the state agency responsible for recreation planning
at the systems level. A preliminary report was completed during
the fiscal year. Its five principal recommendations are:

a) That the concept of a Bay Islands Park System be formally
adopted by the state.

b) That properties designed as part of the Parks System in
the report, and presently under state ownership, be devel-
oped as the initial parts of the system beginning in the
summer of 1974 (this work was initiated, beginning on Dutch
Island).

c) That suitable surplus federal properties turned over to
the state be incorporated in the Island's Park System.

d) That funding for the initial operation and maintenance
of properties be provided for fiscal year 1974-75.

e) That the state begin identifying and acquiring, if neces-
sary, those privately-owned properties that are designated
in the preliminary report as part of the proposed Islands
Park System.

(7) Use of Water SupplyReservoirs or Sites for Recreational
Purposes Study

This technical study is designed to examine the recreational
uses of the state's water supply reservoirs. When it is completed,
it will focus on four major areas of concern: l) existing state
policies, 2) demand for additional recreational space: 3) effects
of recreational use on water quality~ and 4) patterns of recreation-
al use in other states. The work completed in fiscal year 1974 in-
cludes a review of previous state actions, policies, and reports
by the various agencies concerned.

(8) Scenic River System Study

The purpose of this technical study is to provide a comprehen-
sive inventory and evaluation of the rivers in Rhode Island for
possible inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers system.
Initial work, in fiscal year 1974, sought to determine the potentials
for a state river-oriented recreational system within the existing
framework of institutional and environmental conditions.

(9) Local Recreation, Conservation and Open Space Planning

The purpose of this Program function is to assure that local
needs are fully considered and integrated into the Statewide Compre-
hensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, and to assure that the local plans
are prepared in a manner consistent with the state's recreation
guide plan. The local communities contract with the state Depart-
ment of Natural Resources to gather local recreational data and in-
formation to be utilized in the 1975 SCORP. The status of this
activity and of local planning projects are shown by Tables 2 and
3.

e. Transportation Plan

(1) The Rhode Island Transportation Plan - 1990 (IGA 20.205)

The 1990 Transportation Plan brings together all elements of
the State Guide Plan which are primarily concerned with transporta-
tion and consolidates, updates, and summarizes all proposals for

major components of the stateVs transportation systems through the
year 1990. The draft plan, which was prepared as part of the 1974
National Transportation Study, was presented to the State Planning
Council on December 19, 1973. Copies of the draft were sent for
review to the chief administrative official and chief planning
official in each city and town, and to all state and federal agencie
and organizations concerned. Following an intensive review period,
the draft plan and subsequent revisions will be presented at a
properly advertised public hearing. The State Planning Council
will take into consideration all comments made durinr the review
and the hearing in preparing and adopting a final transportation
plan document as part of the State Guide Plan.

The following table presents the recommended short and long
range development allocations for Rhode Island's transportation
system.

(2) State Airport System Plan (20.103)

A draft Summary Report, State Airport System Plan, 1970-1990
was prepared in fiscal year 1973. However, the closing of the Ouon-
set Point Naval Air Station and the Charlestown Auxiliary Landing
Field made it necessary to revise the plan in fiscal year 1974.
The revised plan now considers Quonset Point as a state general

aviation airport, and this recommendation will be presented to the
State Planning Council in fiscal year 1975.

The Providence Air Transportation Hub was redesignated by the
Federal Aviation Administration from a 'Tedium Hub" (0.25 to 0.99
percent of total national enplaned passengers) to a "Small Ifub"
(0.05 to 0.24 percent) in the twelve month period ending June 30,
1971. This decline in percentage and the possibflity of redesignra -
tion was noted in the Statewide Planning Program's "Final Report on
the State Airport System Airline Passenger Ticket Survey," publisher4
in November) 1971. This change in status was caused by the more
rapid increase in passenger enplanements nationally than at T.F.
Green State Airport. Consequently, T.F. Green enplanements repre-
sent a smaller percentage of the national total.

f. Historic Preservation Plan (IGA 14.203)

The Statewide Planning Program assists the Rhode Island Histo-
rical Preservation Commission in updating, implementing and maintain-
ing the historic preservation element of the State Guide Plan. The
Program staff worked throughout the fiscal year on preparing the
updated plan in accordance with National Park Service regulations.

The updated plan consists of three volumes. Volume I: "'His-
torical Background,' is being drafted by the Historical Preservatior
Commission. Volume II: "Inventory of Historical Sitas.,.1 being
prepared jointly by the Statewide Planning Program andthe Preser-
vation Commission. The Program staff completed work on the card
file of the historic places in fiscal year 1974. Approximately
2,500 entries were prepared and listed alphabetically by county,
city or town, street address and major thematic category, and about
forty percent of the thematic list was typed in preparation for
publication. The thematic list provides a paragraph of descriptive
information on each historical site plus cross-references to other
thematic categories. Volume III: "Annual Work Program," was pre-
pared by the Preservation Commission and submitted to the National
Park Service for approval.

In addition to the work on the Historical Preserveation Plan
update, the Program staff also assisted in the preparation and pub-
lication of Historical Preservation Commission reports pk-p-l,
Pawtuxet Village: Cranston and Warwick, and n-n-l, The Kay-
Catherine-Old Beach Road Neighborhood in Newport. Also, the map of
sites on the National Register of Historic Places was updated to
include all sites recently added to the Register by the National
Park Service. A total of 180 sites in Rhode Island are on the
Register.

g. Overall Economic Development Program (IGA 14.203)

The state, in order to receive federal assistance from the

Economic Development Administration (EDA), must maintain a current-
ly approved Overall Economic Development Program (OEDP). It is the
responsibility of the Statewide Planning Program to develop and main
tain the unified OEDP for all thirty-nine cities and towns in Rhode
Island. Rhode Island currently is the only state in the nation
which is using a statewide OEDP.

The current OEDP was adopted by the State Planning Council on
October 17, 1973. This document covers three of the four labor
areas in Rhode Island, and all of the state's communities have been
designated to participate in EDA programs.

NOTE: The town of Tiverton is in the Fall River Labor Area, which
is designated under Title I.

The Program staff prepared a supplement to the current OEDP
to identify capital improvement projects in the cities and towns,
and to set priorities for economic development within the frame-
work of draft land use policies and plans. The goal of compact
development and control of urban sprawl by conserving existing
urban, commercial and industrial areas is coupled with information
from the 1970 Census of Population to form the priority system.
These priorities provide a general guide to selection of projects
in terms of their impact on the state's economy and conformance
with the economic development policies of the draft state land use
plan.

Legislation incorporating Federal Office of Management and
Budget and U.S. Department of Commerce recommendations is pending
before Congress. It calls for the retention of current EDA pro-
grams for one year, after which the program would be replaced with

block grants to states for economic development. The block grant
system of funding would put Rhode Island in a favorable position
because it will be based on a statewide OFDP. It is anticipated
that the new OEDP format will include a thoroughly revised list of
projects for economic development. Each project description will
include the following items;

-Description and location of project
I ~~~-Funding sources and amounts
-Anticipated initiation and completion dates
-Agency responsible
I ~~~-Number of' jobs to be created
-Environmental impact
-Rank of importance to local community

Projects will also be related to other parts of the narrative and
a system for establishing statewide priorities will be discussed.

PART THREE: GOVERNMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION

a. Planning and Management Services
Planning and management services provided to the Governor and
the Executive Office staff during fiscal year 197)4 covered a wide
range of activities. These included assistance in the preparation
of reuse proposals for the development of surplus Navy facilities',
review and comment on the legislation creating the state Department
of Economic Development; and labor force and population analysis for
manpower planning.- Information was also provided on the Overall
Economic Development Program; coastal resources management planning--
solid waste management, recreation, transportation and land use
planning and the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority.
Similar services were also provided to the General Assembly,
federal and state agencies, local governments, and other states,I
and the private sector. Requests for information concerning the
organization of state plannfing activities, personnel procedures and

and responded to.
b. Governor's Environmental Task Force (IGA 1)4.203, 66.301)

The Statewide Planning Program, as the staff arm of the
Environmental ',ask Force in accordance with Executive Order 29,
focused its attention on the development of a Solid Waste ManagementI
Plan. Working with the assistance of the state Department of Health,
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the consulting firm
Gordian Associates, the staff prepared a proposed Solid Waste Manage-I
ment.Plan which was approved by the Task Force and submitted to the
Governor in January, 197)4.

The plan calls for the creation of a state solid waste manage-U
ment corporation to develop an integrated statewide system of
solid waste facilities, in itiate a statewide resource recovery
program to recover the valuable energy and material resources con-I
tained in the solid wastes delivered to its facilities, and assist
local communities in solving their urgent waste disposal problems.
The plan also recommends the establishment of a solid waste facilityI

G-143

I ~licensing program within the state Department of Health, and the
creation of a citizens advisory committee to monitor the activities
3 ~of the Corporation and make appropriate reports to the Governor.

Legislation creating the Solid Waste Management Corporation
was submitted to the 19714 session of the state General Assembly.
I ~It was passed, and funding for the corporation will be determined
by the outcome of a 1.7 million dollar Capital Development Program
bond issue to be voted on by the electorate in November, 1974.
I ~ ~c. Governor's Economic Conversion Task Force (IGA 114-203)

As a result of the announcement by the U.S. Department of
I ~Defense on April 17, 1973, that Navy activities in Rhode Island would
be substantially reduced, the Governor appointed this task force
to revitalize the state's economy. The Chief of the Statewide
-I ~Planning Program was appointed to the task force, and the Program
staff provided support to the group throughout the fiscal year.

3 ~~A new element was prepared as an addition to the Statewide
Planning Program's Work Program to encompass the planning activities
concerned with the Davy facilities closings. The planning tasks
involved were: administration and coordination, Base Cloin Ipact
Study, Land and Facilities Utilization Planning, Detailed Secial
Use Analysis, Economic Development Planning, and local assistance.
The project was directed by the Economic Renewal Coordinating
I ~Center and utilized federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development and the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic
Development Administration, and state and local matching monies.
* ~HUD funds were channeled through the Integrated Grant Administra-
- ~tion Project.
The Economic Renewal Coordinating Center, working with the
impacted local communities, and with the assistance of the State-
wide Planning Frogram, developed a report that was submitted to the
General Services Administration presenting the state's proposals
for reuse of the excessed Navy property. Entitled Reuse and
Development of United States Surplus Military Lands in Rhode Island,
the plan envisions an integrated, multi-purpose industrail-transpor-
3 ~tation complex utilizing the bulk of the Quonset-Davisville complex
in North Kingstown-, a combination of selected industrial development,
marine terminal operations, and public recreation utilizing the
abandoned naval property on Aquidneck Island- and either a multi-
* ~use development or a nuclear power plant utilizing the Charlestown
Auxillary Naval Air Station (depending upon the results of further
studies). Several islands or parts thereof in Narragansett Bay
are allocated to the Bay Islands Park project.

I~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Assistance to those communities most seriously affected by the
base closings was provided through the Integrated Grant Administra-
tion project. The Department of Community Affairs contracted with
four communities for both planning and financial assistance. Each
6ommunity either increased its own staff capability or employed
consultants. Program objectives were established for each community
and economic and physical development studies were initiated.

d. Manpower Revenue Sharing (17.232)

The Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973 (CETA)
provides that both the City of Providence and the State of Rhode
Island, representing the "Balance of the State," are eligible to be
prime sponsors of manpower programs. The Statewide Planning Pro-
gram through agreement with the Governor's Office of Manpower Affairs,
provided research assistance in the preparation of the Balance of
the State Manpower Plan for fiscal year 1975.

The Program staff, utilizing data provided by the state depart-
ments of Labor, Employment Security, and Social and Rehabilitative
Services, and the 1970 Census "Summary Manpower Indicators," and
"Detailed characteristics for Rhode Island," provided the following
information for the "Balance of the State" plan:

1) Rhode Island population projections by city and town, county,
and Ancillary Manpower Planning Board (AMPB)- 2) a brief description
of the planning area with a map depicting the state's manpower
planning structure. 3) population analysis for the "Balance of State"5
based on the 1970 Census, describing racial and ethnic character-
istics, age, employment and unemployment, income levels, poverty
status, veteran status and educational attainment levels; 4) labor
force analysis for the state, including hard-to-fill job openings
and skill shortages, and vocational training needs; 5)i"Balance of
State" employment status by sex and minority status for 1973;
6) Public Assistance payments, caseloads, and persons for the "Balanca:
of State" for fiscal year 1973; 7) population by sex and minority
status for the "Balance of State" in 1970; 8) income in 1969 for
families and unrelated individuals by ethnicity? 9) the "Universe of
Need for Manpower Services" for fiscal year 1975; 10) "Economic
Assumptions for Fiscal Year 1975-" 11) average employment and un-
employment by AMPB and for the "Balance of State," June, 1973 -
February, 1974: 12) economically disadvantaged or low income persons:
13) manufacturing and non-manufacturing employment annual averages
1972 and 1973: and 14) persons in need of manpower services based
on the number of disadvantaged persons, Vietnam era veterans, youth
16-21 not-in-school, unemployed and not in the labor force, unem-
ployed individuals, disabled or handicapped, and underutilized in-
dividuals.

G-16

The completed plan was submitted on June 10, 1974, and was
the first fiscal year 1975 manpower plan approved by the U.S. De-
partment of Labor.
e. Evaluation, Review and Coordination of Federal Projects (IGA

The Statewide Planning Program is designated as the clearing-
house for federal and federally-assisted projects under OMB circular
A-95. Through this requirement, proposed federal grants'and loans
under 144 programs, direct federal development actions, and state plane
are subject to review. There were several revisions to OMB cir-
cular A-95 during the fiscal year. They are: (1) The number of
federal programs covered by the review requirement increased from
98 to 144' (2) The maximum time period for review was set at 60 days,
(3) The maximum time period for review of housing projects was
increased from 15 to 30 days; (4) All comments received on a project
must be either incorporated in the action of the review agency or
attached to it, (5) The subject matter of comments and recommen-
dations has been expanded to include information on "the extent to
which the proposed project: (a) duplicates, runs counter to, or
needs to be coordinated with other projects . . ., or (b) might be
revised to increase its effectiveness or efficiency;" and (6) If a
federal agency acts on an application other than as recommended by
the clearinghouse agency, a written explanation must be provided to
the clearinghouse.
(1) Project Notification and Review System
A total of 144 applications for federal grants or loans re-
quiring review under OMB Circular A-95, Part I, were received during

g. Management of State Owned Lands (IGA 111.203)

The Statewide Planning Program assists the State Properties
Committee in the management of state owned land by serving as the
information and review agency for selected transfer, sale, or pur-
chase proposals. Generally, this information and review process
co:vers all major actions except those dealing with land condemned
for highway rights-of-way.

Fourteen proposals affecting state owned land were received by
the Program in fiscal year 1974. The status of the referral pro-
cess is as follows:

Proposals Referrals Review
Period Received Sent Completed

FY 73 18 128 17
FY 74 14 179 7

TOTAL 32 307 24

The Program staff initiated the annual updating of the State
Land Inventory computer print-out. Errors in certain communities
were field checked and corrected. The listing of state-owned land
was updated to show all transactions completed in calendar year 1973.

h. National Flood Insurance Program (IGA 14.203)

The Statewide Planning Program is the coordinating agency in
Rhode Island for the National Flood Insurance Program. As such, the
Program staff provides technical assistance to municipalities
entering the Flood Insurance Program, and assists these communities
to meet the requirements of the regular program. Table 5 summarizes
the status of the National Flood Insurance Program as of the end of
the fiscal year.

The staff analyzed and prepared comments on the proposed
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 which was passed by Congress
and signed by the President on December 31, 1973. This act provided
the following increases in the available limits of flood insurance
coverage:
Subsidized Coverage Total Coverage

i. Coastal Resources Management (IGA 1o4.203; 11.418l*)

The state of Rhode Island was the first state in the nation to
receive federal funding under the Coastal Zone Management Act of
1972. The Statewide Planning Program, as the lead agency supporting
the Executive Office, the designated contact point for the federal
government in the preparation of the grant application, worked
with the Coastal Resources Center at the University of Rhode Island
to prepare the application in accordance with the Act and guide-
lines established by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminis-
tration, Office of Coastal Zone Management.

The Rhode Island application envisions a two year development
program, which started March 1, 1974, to be implemented by the
Statewide Planning Program, as the lead agency, the Coastal Resources
Center, and the state Department of Natural Resources. The data
provided by the development program will be used to support pre-,:.
paration of the state Coastal Resources Management Council's coastal

management Plan. The state intends to enter the federally supported
management program after the development program is completed.

Contracts Were drawn between the Statewide Planning Program
and the Coastal Resources Center of the University of Rhode Island
and the Department of Natural Resources. Major activities were:

(1) Marineresources inventory - natural features: basic
material on geology, chemistry, and hydrography were com-
piled for most marine areas. The benthic organisms
studies were advanced and fish and shellfish inventories
were completed. Saltmarsh mapping and baseline data
collection for coastal salt ponds was begun.

(2) Commercial fisheries: the study report was drafted and
charts and figures prepared.

(3) Sand and gravel: meetings to review the study draft were
held with the citizens committee.

(4) Marine recreation: field work on the Bay Islands Park
System was completed.

J. Unified Work Program for Transportation Planning (IGA 20.205I

The purpose of this activity was to prepare a single work
program document discussing all the transportation and closely
related planning activities to be conducted in fiscal year 1975 by
various state and local agencies throughout Rhode Island. The
fy 75 work program, which provides information concerning title,
objective, description, personnel required, cost estimates and
source of funds for all transportation and related planning to be
undertaken in the state, was submitted in June to the Intermodal
Planning Group for review.

k. Certification of Planning Activities

Compliance with planning requirements which are a prerequisite
to federal grants to the state or its cities and towns is a major
objective of the Program. The current status of certifications is
shown on table 6.

1. Capital Investment Programming Study (IGA 14.203)

The draft Capital Investment Programming Study was completed
during the fiscal year and is undergoing staff review. It presents
a history of the capital budgeting process in the state, and suggests
methods for more closely and formally integrating the planning and
budgeting processes.

PART FOUR. PLANNING INFORMATION4 BASE

a. Socia-Economic Data and Forecasts (IGA 1)4.203; 17.232;
20.205; 20.505)
Planning activities, to be viable, must be firmly rooted in
an accurate and comparable data base that measures and analyz es
population, employment, and other factors, distributed to small areas
and forecast over the planning period. The Statewide Planning Pro-
gram prepares and mainains the socio-economic data required for
short and long-range planning activities.
Several revisions in the state population projections were
made during the fiscal year. The previously adjusted series of
predictions produced by the cohort-component computer program were
revised to reflect the Navy base closings and, the consequent reduct-
ion in military personnel and their dependents residing in the
state. The estimates used were based on a U.S. Navy personnel
characteristics survey of those personnel transferred out of the
state. This input was combined with the net influence of out-of-
'3 ~state students attending colleges and universities in the state.
Other input data consisted of age-specific birth rates by color,
for Rhode Island, gradually merged into several national series,
I ~with state survival rates held equivalent to U.S. forcasted totals.
Zero net migration was assumed throughout the projected period.
This resulted in forcasts by five year age, sex., and color groups.

The computer program for allocating city and town population
projections from state totals forecasts, produced from the cohort-
survival computer program, was still under preparation at the end
I ~of the fiscal year. This program required a method for calculating
ratio values for each of the 39 cities and towns to measure percent
changes that occurred in any previous decade for each five year
I ~cohort, by municipality, and in relation to the changes that occurred
in the comparable groups on the state level. City and town migration
trends that occurred during the 1960-1970 decade were also ad-
justed to account for the changes in military personnel totals.
An interim phase of the program was developed to allocate state
total population projections by city and town. It involves primarily
the ability to link each city and town ratio value previously
I ~computed by five year age group to forecasted changes that occurred
in comparable state total groups. The Program staff also distri-
buted "employment by place of work" by census tract and traffic
zone as input to the travel forecasting model for transportation
planning. Summary population projections are shown in attachment

b. Federal-State Cooperative Program for Local Population
Estimates (IGA 20.205)
U ~~~The Program prepares population estimates for inter-censal
years by county and municipality for publication by the U.S.' Bureau
of the Census. Data on births, deaths, school enrollment, auto-
I ~mobile registration and covered employment for 1972 were summarized
and coded for processing and forwarded to the Bureau of the Census.
Population estimates of Rhode Island counties for July 1, 1972 and
July 1, 1973., prepared.by the Census Bureau using data supplied by
the Program, are exhibited in attachment V-2.

3 ~~~c. Environmental Inventory (IGA 1)4.203)

The Statewide Planning Program was directed by the Governor to
undertake a statewide environmental inventory to ensure sound deci-
I ~sion making in both use of the state's land and the development of
the stat~s transportation system. The inventory process utilizes
computer technology to systematically compile data on both the
natural and man-made environment of the entire state. Any element
that is either a component of the environment or that can have an
effect on the environment is eligible for data bank entry.

I ~~~The Program staff initiated development of a "master file,"
during the fiscal year, for evaluative use in plan preparation.
The file arranges the data so that all the information coded to
any one cell (a cell is equivalent to 10 acres) can be recorded on
a single IBM computer card. This will facilitate future data
comparisions for single or multiple cell areas.

I ~~~Final edit maps were completed for vegetative types, wetlands,
municipal zoning, and historical sites and the initial draft of a
technical report on the methodology used in the inventory was
completed for staff review. Table 7 presents the status of the
Environmental Inventory at the end of the fiscal year.

3 ~~~d. Continuing Transportation Planning (IGA 20.205; 20.505)

the surveillance process3 data collection, analysis, and documenta-

I ~~~The Program staff continued work on the 1971-72 Rhode Island
Origin-Destination Update Study. All marine terminals furnished
information on their shipping operations to complete data collection
I ~for the movement of goods by water, and all gas companies furnished
information concerning pipeline deliveries. The five airlines that
have cargo facilities at T.F. Green Airport were asked to supply
information for the goods movement survey. Computer tapes were
U ~purchased from the Penn Central Transportation Company describing
inbound and outbound movements of commodities by rail for the state.
3 ~These tapes were adjusted for use in the analysis phase.
Traffic data, ground count data for 60 locations, data on
peak hour factors at 120 locations, and directional factor data at
35 locations were assembled to calculate the following values
1 ~passing each counting station: R.I. passenger autos, out of state
passenger autos, two-axle trucks and multi-axle trucks. The result-
ing values will be used in the development and calibration of
travel modes. Two technical papers were completed and three drafts
were started to document various phases of this work.

I ~~~The Program staff, with the cooperation of the Port Mvanager's
Office of the Port of Providence, has been monitoring the monthly
movement of goods shipped and received by the port. Surveillance

and the sale of taxable motor fuel was continued throughout the
fiscal year. The number of motor vehicle miles travelled in the
state was determined by computing the average automobile mileage
per gallon and the net taxable gallons of motor vehicle fuel sold.
Selected data are published in Attachment V.
3 ~~~(3) Reappraisal

Five studies of services and facilities for public transporta-
I ~tion were completed as part of the reappraisal process. These are
concerned with Shelter Facilities, Public Transportation Needs of
Low Income Families and the Elderly, Route Modifications, Study of
the.Fare Structure, and Transit Service to URI and vicinity. Also,
I ~special tabulation and trip tables, utilizing the 1971-72 O-D Up-
date Study data as well as data forecasts from the 1961 and 196)4
3 ~O-D Survey, were made for other state agencies.
(4I) Service

3 ~~~The continuing transportation planning provides data useful to
other public agencies and the private sector. During fiscal year
197)4 the Program provided orgin-destination trip tables by several
purposes to the University of Rhode Island. These trip tables
I ~were used in a feasibility study pertaining to the use of hydrofoils
within Narragansett Bay.

I~~~~~~~~~~G2

Several other data were also supplied to the consultant3
performing the Census "Journey to work" analysis. In addition to
the above mentioned items, origin-destination trip data was
supplied to the City of Warwick for use in their transportation3
master plan.

(5) Procedural Development3

Coding of all transit and non-transit nodes and links was
completed for the statewide transit network, and the 1971 transit
network was successfully built with no apparent errors. Trees for
this network were also built and will be checked for logical rout-
ings in fiscal year 1975.

A year 2000 highway network 80 was coded and built. TheI
Program staff updated the link data and made corrections in the
historical records, utilizing the historical record correction and
updating program (FIXLINK).I
(6) Reporting

A monthly report is prepared and distributed to state andI
local agencies in Rhode Island, federal agencies, public information
media and a number of other interested persons and groups. The
mailing list currently includes about 1475 entries. This reportU
summarizes progress made by the Program in all aspects of planning
and implementation. All publications are described, and data which
may be useful to others is listed.
This annual report is prepared each year in compliance with
Section 142-36-1 of the General Laws of 1956 as amended. This report
is Published as part of the state's Digest of Annual Reports, which
is distributed to all members of the General Assembly, state and
federal agencies, local governments libraries, and others interested.
The material prepared for the Digest is also reproduced and dis-
tributed as a separate Annual Report which is also the completion
report for the Integrated Grant Administration Project.

A series of program reports, special reports, and technical
papers is used to document all major studies and present policy
and plan recommendations to all levels of government and the public.
Those publications issued to date are listed in Attachment III.
e. Address Coding Guide / ADDEDIT (IGA 20.205)3

Part II of the Address Coding Guide Correction/update Program

G-305

consists of ADDEDIT, a correction/update process for all address
ranges contained in the original DIME file. Work on this phase
of the file was initiated in the first quarter of fiscal year 1974,
and involved correcting and updating all address range data in the
Geographic Base File. Approximately 65 percent of the DIME file has
been corrected and updated by this process and submitted to the
U. S. Bureau of the Census. It is expected that the updating process
will be completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 1975.

PART FIVE: SPECIAL PROJECTS

a. Southeastern New England Water and Related Land Resources
Study

The SENE Study was undertaken by the New England River Basins
Commission to prepare a comprehensive management plan for water
and related land resources for Rhode Island, Eastern Massachusetts,
and the Pawcatuck-Stonington area of Connecticut. The Statewide
Planning Program coordinates the activities of Rhode Island state
departments and agencies as they relate to the SENE Study's Coor-
dinating Group and Study Management Team.

Single Purpose plans for study elements and river basin plan-
ning areas were received for review by the Program staff. These
reports, and all revisions, will be integrated into a multi-purpose
plan which will be produced by the combined efforts of the partici-
pating federal and state agencies and citizens advisory committees.
Table 8 indicates the status of the single purpose planning phase
at the end of the fiscal year.

The SENE Study Management Team was divided into three work
groups to deal with the water, water-related land, and land use
elements of the River Basin Study Areas. Draft reports were com-
pleted for review for the Pawtuxet, Narragansett Bay, Pawcatuck,
and Blackstone-Ten TIile-Woonasquatucket-Hoshassuck River Basins.
Comments on these drafts were forwarded to the SENE Study staff.

The Program staff reviewed reports on the study of urban
waterfronts, the allocation of Early Management Recommendations
Task Force funds, and a working paper entitled `Capitalizing on
Opportunities to to Legal and Institutional Work." Also, the state
of Rhode Island and the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation- developed a
work program to enable the Bureau to support the state's study of
the bay islands. This work will be funded by the Bureau of Out-
door Recreation from SENE Early Management Recommendations Task
Force account.

Single purpose plans were prepared for the Water Quality ele-
ment of the SENE Study for the Woonasquatucket-Moshassuck, Pawca-
tuck, Pawtuxet, Blackstone and Narragansett Bay River Basins. Al-
ternatives for the Ten Mile, Blackstone, Pawtuxet, and Narragansett
Bay basins were evaluated in terms of technological feasibility,
estimated costs, and political problems affecting implementation.
Alternatives for the Blackstone, Pawtuxet, Pawcatuck, Narragansett
Bay and Woonasquatucket-Moshassuck River Basins were evaluated in
terms of social and environmental considerations and land use as-
pects.

b. Shore Region Land Use Plan (48.001)

This plan is designed to unify state policies and actions in
land use planning and management of coastal resources. The plan
will also assist the Coastal Resources Management Council in making
decisions for the shore area. It will be based not on new inven.-
tories, but on studies now underway or completed, and it will be
closely coordinated with the work of the Coastal Resources Center
at the University of Phodeisland.

Twenty-three factors involving both the natural and man-made
environment were identified for consideration in plan formulation.
Data on these factors was mapped at a scale of i inch to 1,000 feet
on base maps of each of the twenty cities and toy'ns in the shore
region. In most cases the study area extends approximately one
mile inland from the saltwater shoreline. The progress of the
mapping process is shown by Table 9.

c. The Transit Development Program (IGA 20.505)

This is a short range program for the period 1973--1980, de-
signed to implement the public transit element of the State Guide
Plan and to qualify the state for capital grants. The Program staff
completed a revision of the -Interim Transit Development Program':
during the fiscal year, and presented it to the Technical Committee
and the Urban Mass Transportation Administration as a progress
report on public transit planning in the state. It will serve as
a reference point and guide to fiscal year 1975 planning efforts
for completion of the Transit Development Program (TDP).

A major element of the revised interim TDP was the evaluation
of existing conditions. The Program staff collected data on current
service, user characteristics, financial characteristics of systems,
and capital facilities and equipment. Each transit route in the
state was subdivided into at least three route segments. UTork began
on coding a cross reference file to allow the tabulation of census
data (population, age, income, housing type, etc.) for the areas
served by each route segment individually. This route segment file
was matched to the transit trip record file developed for the con-
tinuing transportation planning process. An analysis of the fare
structure was also prepared on the intrastate routes of all Rhode
Island bus companies. As would be expected, the analysis showed
higher per mile costs for the transit rider in low population
density areas of the state for an average trip.

In the study of anticipated improvements, an analysis was made
of the potential usage of four fringe parking areas, and all perti-
nent information was forwarded to the state Department of Transpor-
tation for their review and action. A draft study was completed
on the siting of four bus shelters, an investigation began into the
possibilities of new technologies being incorporated into the
state's mass transit system, and continuing study was performed on
the proposal for commuter rail service in the Providence to

d. Action Plan for Highway Planning (IGA 20.205)

The purpose of the ''Action Plan7 is to detail the methods pro-
posed by the state to insure that proper consideration is given to
environmental issues in the development of highway programs and
projects. The Statewide Planning Program is responsible for the
procedural development and actual conduct of the systems planning
phase) which results in the long range highway guide plan, and was
therefore charged with preparation of documentation for the systems
planning aspects of the Action Plan.

The Program staff submitted revised drafts to the state Depart-
ment of Transportation, the agency preparing the Action Plan, des-
cribing the methods of identification of social, environmental
and economic effects and consideration of alternative courses of

action at the system level. The final draft Action Plan was re-
viewed by the Program staff and all comments were forwarded to the
state Department of Transportation for submission to the U.S.
Department of Transportation.

e. 1974 National Transportation Study (None)

The 1974 National Transportation Study is the second in a
series of biennial studies designed to build upon the data base
established by both the 1968 National Highway Functional Classi-
fication and Needs Study and the 1972 National Transportation Needs
Study to report the extent of the current and projected national
transportation systems. Data were collected for this project for
the following categories: urban mass transportation, airport
systems, parking facilities, truck terminals, bus terminals, rail-
way terminals, other system components, costs surveys, sources of
capital funds, and methods of programming. Data on highways was
collected by the Planning-Division of the state Department of
Transportation.

A draft of the "Rhode Island Transportation Plan - 1990` was
completed during the fiscal year as an element of the State Guide
Plan (see Part Two, section e). The Program staff also completed
the draft -1980 Rhode Island Transportation Program.j This docu-
ment emphasizes phased accomplishment of the transportation ele-
ments of the State Guide Plan, meets the requirements of the 1974
National Transportation Study, and is currently undergoing review
by the state Department of Transportation and the Program staff.

The draft '.Narrative Report - 1974 National Transportation
Study" was completed for review. And, all data requestedby the
U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of Systems Analysis
and Information, was compiled and submitted on the appropriate
data request forms, except for the 1980 Program - Source of Capital
Funds and Summary Cost, for the Composite Providence-Pawtucket-
Warwick-Massachusetts-Rhode Island Urbanized Areas. These are
expected to be conducted in fiscal year 1975.
