---------------------------------------------------------------------------
WE oppose the dumping of commercial and recreational waste off Roy Carpenters Beach in Matunuck Rhode Island. This waste is a direct result the dredging of the navigational channels in Salt Pond and the disposal of the dredged materials on the sand bar 600 yards off Roy Carpenters Beach. WE believe that this is disastrously affecting the marine and shore environment at, South Kingstown Beach, Green Hill Beach, Moonstone Beach, East Matunuck Beach, Deep Hole Fishing / Surfing area and the Trustom Pond Wildlife Refuge.
WE urge the CRMC and the Army Corps. of Engineers to stop dumping waste mixed with sediment NOW until an appropriate solution can be found.
