The Department of Environmental Management proposed amendments to 250-150 R.I. Code R. §3. The proposed amendments would, among other things, change the groundwater classification and wellhead protection area maps, modify the procedure for setting a groundwater quality standard when no EPA maximum contaminant level has been established, and add abandonment procedures for private drinking water wells that are similar to requirements for other subsurface borings. A hearing will be held December 4, 2018. Comments are due December 13, 2018. See https://rules.sos.ri.gov/promulgations/part/250-150-05-3.
