Happy #EarthDay! 🌎 We got outside today with our Pleasant View Elementary 5th graders at Mowry Conservation for our macro invertebrate study and to celebrate our beautiful planet. Students found many macro invertebrates that thrive in cleaner water, which is a great sign for the health of the upper part of the Woonasquatucket River.

It’s a beautiful day out there today, get outside and do something for our wonderful planet! 💚🌎

Last week we hosted our 4th annual career day event with Central Falls High School students. Students visited and toured the Field’s Point Wastewater Treatment Facility and the state-of-the-art Water Quality Science Building, getting the full experience on what goes into operating the Narragansett Bay Commission and the many possible future career paths students could take. In addition to the tours and meeting with staff, students were able to do their own water quality testing, testing the water from Collier Park in Providence.

A big shout to our wonderful staff for being great ambassadors and taking the time for these students and thank you to CFHS students for being such wonderful guests, we hope we helped guide you in one way or another on your future career endeavors!

The Narragansett Bay Commission is proud to sponso

The Narragansett Bay Commission is proud to sponsor its 32nd annual student poster contest. The theme of this year’s contest is The Best Day I Had With Water.

The NBC would like students to artistically showcase a day they remember having a great time with water. There are so many activities that involve water. Students could draw themselves at a beach, a water park, in a canoe, using their own pool, or even enjoying a drink of water after a grueling sports activity. Water helps us daily, let’s celebrate it!

The contest rules are as follows:

Students must be in grades K-6 and reside in Providence, North Providence, Johnston, Central Falls, Lincoln, Pawtucket, Cumberland, Cranston, Smithfield, or East Providence.

Posters cannot be larger than 11x17 or smaller than 8 1/2x11.

Posters must include the student’s name, grade, school, home address, and phone number on the back.

Posters become the property of the Narragansett Bay Commission.

Winners receive a $100 cash prize, winning posters are printed in NBC’s 2026 poster calendar, and winners are invited to a recognition ceremony on Wednesday, June 4th at 5:00 at the NBC Field’s Point Wastewater Treatment Facility at 2 Ernest Street, Providence.

The Narragansett Bay Commission will be conducting

The Narragansett Bay Commission will be conducting smoke testing investigations in the Providence/Cranston area next week. These investigations are being conducted to identify sources of extraneous water that discharge into its sanitary sewers.

The testing involves blowing white smoke into the sanitary sewer lines in the street and observing/recording where the smoke leaks out. The smoke is harmless, odorless, non-staining, and leaves no residue. A Material Safety Data Sheet can be provided upon request. The smoke will not enter your house or building unless there are defects in your sanitary plumbing. Although unlikely, should smoke enter your building, do not be alarmed. Simply open the windows, and then notify the EST Associates crew in the street at 617-212-6714 that smoke has entered your building. Please be assured that the smoke will disappear quickly. Prior to testing, you can reduce the chances of smoke entering your building by pouring about a gallon of water down each sink and flush each toilet in your home. This will allow water to fill each trap (bend in the piping under the fixture), which will in turn prevent the smoke from entering the building.

The smoke testing is being coordinated by the Narragansett Bay Commission’s engineering consultant, Tighe & Bond, and will be conducted by EST Associates, Inc. Representatives of these firms will carry photo identification and EST vehicles will be clearly labeled with the company name and phone number. Field crews will be on your street within the next week to perform this test on March 13th 2025. The hours for testing are between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Monday through Friday. The Fire and Police Departments are being notified of the smoke testing work locations.

If you suffer from lung or respiratory ailments and have concerns, please contact EST at (781) 455-0003 and special arrangements will be made.

If you have any specific questions regarding the smoke testing please contact Bryan Weiner, PE, Project Manager for Tighe & Bond at (781) 708- 9846 or Michael Caruolo, PE, The Narragansett Bay Commission at (401) 461-8848 x357.

The Narragansett Bay Commission is proud to announ

The Narragansett Bay Commission is proud to announce its thirtieth annual Environmental Merit Awards. 🏆

Each year, the Narragansett Bay Commission honors companies that have gone beyond compliance using pollution prevention techniques and approaches, have implemented stormwater mitigation technologies, and those companies that have achieved perfect compliance records. The future economic and environmental well- being of Rhode Island is dependent upon industry working together with environmental agencies like the Narragansett Bay Commission to reduce or eliminate waste. The Narragansett Bay Commission’s Environmental Merit Awards program provides an opportunity for companies to receive public recognition for operational advances behind the scenes that have helped protect the environment.

The Narragansett Bay Commission’s Environmental Merit Award winners set the standards for all regulated businesses. Other businesses are encouraged to achieve this level of success with the help of the Narragansett Bay Commission’s Pollution Prevention Program. The non-regulatory Pollution Prevention Program helps the industrial community find environmentally and economically sound ways of eliminating or reducing the generation of industrial wastes and pollutants.

Submittals are due by March 5, 2025. Click the link in our bio to apply.
