- What occurred
- A 2002 study of the Barrington River found fecal coliform in samples. This placed the river under highest priority on Rhode Island's Water Quality Impaired Waterbodies as a result of the Clean Water Act. This contamination was likely due to storm weather runoff. Conversation was sparked over how to address clean up and water quality in the future.
