Submit your letter to the RI DEM: March 7th Deadline
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Last Thursday, February 22nd, offshore wind developer SouthCoast Wind and RI Department of Environmental Management (RI DEM) held a hearing in Portsmouth to solicit comments from the public on a permit application to dredge the Sakonnet River and Mount Hope Bay to install, operate, and maintain two underwater 345,000 high voltage power export cables—each 20.4 miles long.
Your email could help save the Sakonnet and Mt. Hope Bay!
It is essential that RI DEM hears comments and concerns from the community about this massive industrialization and the potentially devastating impact to our coastal waters, beaches, and shoreline—and to all who enjoy them.
The deadline to send comments to RI DEM is 4PM, Thursday March 7th, 2024
For your convenience, linked below is a sample email draft with key points to help you in composing your comments to the DEM.
Send your comments to:
Ron.Gagnon@dem.ri.gov
Thank you for your time and effort!
