The author reflects on the failure of the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT), headed by Peter Alviti, to address storm-water issues. Topics he discussed include the need of RIDOT to search storm-water drainage areas to address tainted runoff, the areas in the Clean Water Act being ignored by RIDOT, and the budget of RIDOT on drainage improvements through 2025. He also mentions insights from U.S. Attorney Peter Neronha on the failure of RIDOT to protect waterways in Rhode Island.
