Chairman Vincent Mesolella and ExecutiveDirector Ray Marshall help to cut the ribbonon a new Providence Animal Shelter. The newfacility was built by the Narragansett BayCommission as part of an agreement with theCity of Providence. In exchange for the landunderneath the former animal shelter, theCommission built a modern, code-compliantshelter on surplus Narragansett BayCommission property. The new facilityrepresents a model in municipal collaboration.

Most of the time, clean water policy drives clean water construction. Our elected officials and environmental leaders set goals, and we, as cleanwater professionals, set out to design, build, and operate infrastructure and facilities to meet those goals. In 2011, however, Rhode Island’s clean waterpolicy changed in response to the Narragansett Bay Commission’s successful infrastructure projects.

In 2008, when we completed construction on Phase I of the Narragansett Bay Commission’s Combined Sewer OverflowAbatement Project, we were confident that the three-mile long, 65 million-gallon capacity tunnel and associated facilities wouldeffect measurable and positive change to Narragansett Bay and its tributaries. After three years of operation, the tunnel hascaptured over four billion gallons of wet-weather related combined sewage that otherwise would have flowed directly into thebay and our urban rivers. This volume and the subsequent improvement in bay water quality has exceeded not only ourexpectations but also those of the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management and the Rhode IslandDepartment of Health, and has led those agencies to change the state’s policy on shellfishing closures in the upper bay afterheavy rains. Now, Rhode Island shellfishermen have an average of forty-five additional shellfishing days each year.It’s an exciting example of the crucial interplay between a healthy environment and a healthy economy and a testimony to ourlong-held belief that clean water infrastructure is a good investment for our communities and our nation.

Even though the CSO project has resulted in a great step forward in water quality, we cannot rest on these laurels. In 2011, the Commission rose tomeet other environmental and economic challenges, including moving forward on nitrogen reduction and green energy at both the Field’s Point andBucklin Point Wastewater Treatment Facilities, providing enhanced educational opportunities to the young people in our service area, and meeting ourfunding needs as the nation’s economy continued to struggle.

In this report, you will read of these and other issues that the Commission faces every day in its mission to protect and enhance Narragansett Bay andher tributary rivers. I look back at the goals that were set for the Narragansett Bay Commission thirty years ago when the voters of Rhode Islandoverwhelmingly approved the bond issue that created this fine agency. At the time, those goals seemed insurmountable. Today, I am gratified at theamazing progress the Narragansett Bay Commission has made and the esteem in which this agency is held all over the country and all over the world,and I am pleased to say that the Board of Commissioners, the Citizens Advisory Committee, and the Commission’s staff have the enthusiasm andenergy to continue the task of stewarding a cleaner and healthier Narragansett Bay for all Rhode Islanders.

As this report went to press, we were saddened to hear of the passing of Governor J. Joseph Garrahy. A pre-eminent statesman and generous humanbeing, Governor Garrahy is responsible for the establishment of the Blue Ribbon Commission that led to the creation of the Narragansett BayCommission. We owe him a huge debt. This report and the accomplishments therein are dedicated to him.

Millions of plastic media are placed in theaeration tanks at the Field’s Point WWTF.These media, part of the Integrated FixedFilm System, will help to reduce nitrogenfrom the facility’s effluent. The NarragansettBay Commission project is the largestapplication of this system in the world. Useof this technology represents a significantsavings for Commission ratepayers over thetraditional method of building additionaltankage.

In Rhode Island, as in most parts of the country, the economy remains stubbornly resistant to meaningful improvement. Therefore, likeeveryone else, we at the Narragansett Bay Commission continue to keep a keen eye on our finances, trying to do more---and do better---with ourlimited resources.

Despite these challenges, I am pleased to report that in fiscal year 2011, the Commission made significant strides on a numberof initiatives that will enhance the environmental and economic health of our state.

Sound and reliable infrastructure provides a crucial cornerstone in any community. At the Narragansett Bay Commission, wecontinued our commitment in 2011 to sustainable and effective clean water infrastructure as we moved forward with design ofPhase II of the CSO Project, continued construction of the nitrogen removal project at the Field’s Point facility, and tookimportant steps toward bringing renewable energy to reality in the form of wind power at Field’s Point and biogas at BucklinPoint. Along the way, the Commission garnered numerous awards and accolades*, reflecting the 365-day a year, twenty-four-hour-a-day operation of first-class treatment facilities, reliable sewer infrastructure, and managerial excellence.

In 2011, the Commission completed its nineteenth consecutive year under budget, its fourteenth consecutive year with a spotless financial audit byindependent auditors, and has been awarded a ninth Distinguished Budget Presentation Award and an eighth Certificate in Excellence in FinancialReporting by the Government Finance Officers’ Association of the United States and Canada. The Standard & Poor’s Rating Service also reaffirmedthe Commission’s “AA-” credit rating.

Still, we recognize that more and more of our ratepayers continue to struggle as our national and local economy remain sluggish and the NarragansettBay Commission has taken a lead role as a member of the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) in encouraging the federalgovernment to take a holistic approach to mandating additional clean water infrastructure projects that takes local affordability into consideration.Currently, the Water Infrastructure Network estimates a national funding gap of over $12 billion per year between federally mandated clean waterinfrastructure projects and any federal funding commitments.

The information in this annual report illustrates how the Narragansett Bay Commission’s infrastructure, technological expertise, and environmentalethics continue to protect and enhance Narragansett Bay and the tributary rivers. We look forward to continued good news in the 2012 report.

With the successful completion and operation of Phase I of the Narragansett Bay Commission’s Combined Sewer Overflow Abatement Project, theCommission moved forward with design on Phase II. The second phase of the comprehensive CSO plan includes near-surface interceptors along theWoonasquatucket and Seekonk Rivers, which will capture overflows currently sited on those rivers and transport that flow to the Phase I tunnel.Whereas Phase I construction occurred almost entirely out of sight and deep underground, Phase II will be more visible and, consequently, potentiallydisruptive to area residents, commuters, and businesses. In 2011, the Narragansett Bay Commission completed final design on Phase II, convenednumerous stakeholder meetings in the affected areas to inform and solicit feedback from local elected officials and constituents, and began solicitingbids for the project.

In 2011, the Commission continued construction on a nutrient removal project that will bring seasonal nitrogen effluent levels to 5 mg/L at theField’s Point Wastewater Treatment Facility. Thanks to the foresight and hard work of the Board of Commissioners and agency staff, this project wasshovel-ready and qualified for funding under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. The project has created over seventy jobs, making it aneconomic as well as environmental benefit.

In the face of a particularly rainy year, reliable infrastructure and operational assets are crucial for clean water. This year, the Narragansett BayCommission continued implementation of its comprehensive Asset Management Program. The program identifies priorities in the replacement andrepair of equipment and structures with proactive preventive maintenance and replacement schedule. The Asset Management Program includesinspection, cleaning, and other improvements to the collection system infrastructure. The Commission’s expertise in Asset Management continues tomake it a respected leader throughout the country.

Clean water infrastructure and clean water science go hand-in-hand, and every day the Commission’s Environmental Monitoring and Data Analysisstaff pursue better and more reliable data through intensive nutrient sampling in the urban rivers and upper Narragansett Bay. Their studies show thatnutrient loading from area rivers can increase from 91% to 282% in wet weather as compared to dry weather loadings. This data will be a crucialcomponent of determining the efficacy of the Commission’s nitrogen reduction projects at Field’s Point and Bucklin Point. Additionally, Commissionstaff worked in cooperation with scientists from the University of Rhode Island to investigate a specific group of compounds call EmergingPollutants of Concern (EPCs). EPCs are currently unregulated but have been identified to be potentially harmful to humans and wildlife. Preliminaryanalysis showed chemicals could be detected and some are being removed in the treatment process. The Commission is a national leader in this typeof investigation.

The past several years have seen the Commission delve deep into research on clean energy as a part of its clean water mandate. Progress in renewableenergy also continued in 2011, as the Narragansett Bay Commission moved ahead with two green energy projects. The Federal AviationAdministration granted permission to construct three 1,500-kW wind turbines at the Field’s Point Wastewater Treatment Facility. The turbines canprovide up to half of the current electrical power demand to the facility and will offset approximately 3,000 tons per year of carbon dioxide thatwould have been released from fossil-fuel-generated electricity.

At Bucklin Point, a biogas generation project also moved ahead. The facility currently uses digester biogas supplemented with natural gas as its fuel forits three boilers that heat sewage sludge. By using biogas in cogeneration equipment such as microturbines or reciprocating engines, this biogas couldgenerate up to 40% of the electricity and heat needed for the facility.

And, because the Commission has long been of the opinion that good information becomes useful information once it is shared, in 2011 the agencysponsored workshop called A Day on the Upper Bay: Current Monitoring, Research, Source Reduction Progress & Future Challenges. Curt Spalding, US EPARegional Administrator and former Executive Director of Save the Bay, delivered the keynote address to the day. The event provided an opportunityfor the Commission and stakeholders, scientists and regulators to exchange the latest information and improvements in water quality of upperNarragansett Bay, and discuss the future path toward achieving and surpassing water quality standards. The Commission’s own scientists and engineersgave presentations on various Commission studies and projects, including water quality improvements attributed to the CSO tunnel, nutrient loadingchanges in the bay and construction updates on both the Field’s Point and Bucklin Point facilities. The workshop also officially launched theCommission’s new water quality web module, “Snapshot of Upper Narragansett Bay” (snapshot.narrabay.com) which provides real-time and historicalwater quality data as well as narrative blogs from Commission scientists.

Rhode Island’s urban rivers have a long history of supporting the state’s economic engine and connecting communities to Narragansett Bay. From theBlackstone and Seekonk, which propelled the mills that launched the Industrial Revolution in America, to the Woonasquatucket, West, Moshassuck,and Providence, which supported the growth of some of our nation’s earliest cities and towns, the tributaries to Narragansett Bay have served animportant role in the development of the United States. Ensuring the health of these rivers is not only an historical imperative, it is crucial toprotecting and preserving water quality in Narragansett Bay.

In 2011, the Commission resumed its annual Earth Day clean-up of the Woonasquatucket River, welcoming Providence Mayor Angel Taveras as partof the clean-up team. The Commission continued its series of successful rain barrel distribution days this year; in total over 1000 concerned citizenshave purchased rain barrels at a reduced rate through the Commission, and in turn reduced the amount of drinking water used to water lawns andgardens. This year also saw the continuation of the Narragansett Bay Commission’s support of the Providence Children’s Museum’s WaterWaysexhibit. By far the museum’s most popular exhibit, this series of channels and canals not only gives children hands-on experiences with the physicalproperties of water, but also elicits giggles and squeals of delight with every splash.

The Commission has long understood that the best way to protect the quality of our local waters is to involve our younger constituents early on inkeeping them healthy. Thanks to a wide variety of programs and activities designed for young advocates and scientists, the Narragansett BayCommission aims to encourage lifelong learning and potential careers in clean water. The Commission’s award-winning Woon Watershed Explorersprogram leverages the natural enthusiasm and energy of thousands of local elementary school students with a nine-month hands-on exploration ofwater quality, culminating in a year-end Environmental Education Summit, where students present their data to peers from other communities in theprogram. For high school students, the Commission continues its successful collaboration with Providence’s MET School, in which students studyenvironmental and policy-related clean water issues both locally and globally.

Following an example set by the United Nations, in 2011 the Narragansett Bay Commission commemorated World Toilet Day. The observance seeksto bring awareness to the fact that nearly half of the world’s population does not have access to adequate sanitation. In light of this, the Commissionasked student artists throughout the service area to “artistically enhance” a white toilet seat with a message about clean water. The resulting artworkranged from humorous to genuinely thought-provoking. The artwork was hung at the Firehouse 13 Gallery in Providence and drew the gallery’slargest opening night crowd to date.

Commission employees regularly give of themselves to build a better community. In 2011, seventy employees participated in the State EmployeesCharitable Appeal campaign, and over eighty employees participated in a casual day fund that supports philanthropic causes, including the AmericanRed Cross, the American Cancer Society, and the Environment Council of Rhode Island.


Students from Providence Greene School learn about wastewater treatment and other clean water issues during a tour of Field’s Point. Each year over 1000 students tour the NarragansettBay Commission facilities.
