RI Solid Waste Management Plan Virtual Workshop

Limited Staffing Notice – DEM Providence Headquarters

The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management Headquarters at 235 Promenade in Providence will be open today with limited staffing, including the Office of Boating and Licensing and the Office of Customer and Technical Assistance (OCTA).

Visitors, particularly those seeking assistance with boat registrations or commercial fishing licensing, are encouraged to use DEM’s online services or call our offices before visiting in person.

Note: State parks are closed to vehicle access to allow DEM crews to continue clearing roadways and parking areas. If an area has not yet been cleared, please do not attempt to drive into it and allow crews a day or two to make it passable. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as this work continues.

Join us to provide your input on the future of solid waste in Rhode Island!
