the Jamestown Brook Watershed. To the
south, separated by Great Creek and
extensive wetlands, is the Central Town
area. The Central Island area is
comprised of gently rolling hills up to
100 feet elevation with bedrock
outcrops in the Dumplings and Fort
Wetherill area. To the southwest is the
Beavertail Peninsula rising to an
elevation of 125 feet. The peninsula is
connected to the rest of the island by a
sandy isthmus called Mackerel Cove
Beach.
The average annual precipitation is
approximately 43 inches. The island’s
climate is moderated by the waters of
Narragansett Bay and the Atlantic
Ocean.
Conanicut Island’s bedrock is
terrestrial metasedimentary rock of
Pennsylvanian age (approximately
300 million years old) in the north and
the Cambrian-age Conanicut group in
the center of the island and on
Beavertail. Originally deposited as
sediments ranging from coarse-grained
gravel to fine-grained silt, these
materials hardened over time into
metamorphic rocks. Fort Wetherill on
the southeastern portion of the island is
underlain by Proterozoic Newport
Formation granites. These are overlain
by poorly-sorted glacial till ranging from
0 to about 45 feet in thickness. Because
the rock and till transmit water very
slowly, seasonally-high water table
conditions occur throughout much of
the island.

IV. Information Utilized in
Determination
The information utilized in this
determination includes: The petition
and supporting documents submitted by
the NECC, letters received before and
during the public comment period, and
public comments received during the
public hearing. In addition, much of the
information has been derived from
published literature on the
hydrogeology and water resources of the
region. This information is available to
the public and may be inspected at the
EPA Region I office in Boston,
Massachusetts (address listed above).
The petition and support document and
EPA’s response summary to public
comment are also available at the
Jamestown Public Library in Jamestown,
Rhode Island.
V. Summary and Discussion of Public
Comments
Most comments received were in
favor of the designation. Written
comments in support were received
from the Honorable Lincoln Chaffee,
U.S. Senate; Senate Majority Leader M.
Teresa Paiva Weed and House Deputy

Minority Whip Bruce J. Long of the
Rhode Island General Assembly; the
Rhode Island Department of Health; the
Rhode Island Department of
Environmental Management; and 36
residents/households of Jamestown. On
March 11, 2008, a majority of the
Jamestown Conservation Commission
voted to support the petition. On March
17, 2008, a majority of the Town
Council approved a motion to support
SSA designation. EPA received five
written comments expressing
opposition to the designation. Among
these were letters from two members of
the Town Council.
EPA has addressed the written
comments received in a Responsiveness
Summary, which is part of the record of
this decision. The Responsiveness
Summary is available at the EPA Region
I offices and at the Jamestown Public
Library.
VI. Project Review
After the effective date of this
designation, EPA will evaluate projects
within the designation area that include
federal financial assistance to determine
whether the project may contaminate
the aquifer so as to create a significant
hazard to public health. Where
practicable, EPA will offer comments as
to how the project may be designed to
protect the aquifer. EPA anticipates that
few future projects will trigger SSA
review. Where review is required, EPA
will coordinate with state and local
agencies and the project’s developers.
EPA will give their comments full
consideration. Through its review, EPA
will attempt to complement and support
state and local ground water protection
measures. Although the project review
process cannot be delegated, EPA will
rely to the maximum extent possible on
any existing or future state and/or local
control measures to protect the quality
of ground water in the review area. EPA
also will work to integrate any review
with related reviews required pursuant
to other federal laws, such as the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) as amended 42 U.S.C. 4321, et
seq., to avoid delay or duplication of
effort.
Authority: This action is issued under the
authority of section 1427 of the Safe Drinking
Water Act as amended 42 U.S.C. 300h–3(e).
Dated: July 30, 2008.

Acting Regional Administrator, USEPA
