§ 42-106-1. Rhode Island aqua fund legislative findings.
The general assembly finds and declares that a multiple-purpose, comprehensive and concentrated approach is required to focus state and federal resources on the enormous environmental problems associated with cleansing Rhode Island’s greatest natural resource, Narragansett Bay. It further finds that such an approach will include efforts at pretreatment of industrial waste, sediment and sludge abatement and remedy, storm water sewer retrofitting, urban runoff abatement, non-point source pollution reduction, waste water treatment upgrading, and cooperation with neighboring states among others; and that these efforts are necessary to meet the clean water goals of the citizens of Rhode Island.
