The purpose of Conanicut Concerned Citizens is to
protect and preserve Conanicut Island's groundwater, drinking water,
and environmentally sensitive land areas through education and
advocacy. This will be done by:
1. Studies and research of the
underlying formation of the bedrock aquifer, including its water
pathways, and the sensitive land areas impinging upon the aquifer;
2. Educating and informing the
public of the need to protect the aquifer through forums, panels,
seminars, and newspaper articles; and
3. Obtaining Sole Source Aquifer
status from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for protection
of Conanicut Island's water resources.
The Conanicut Concerned Citizens, a non-profit
501(c)(3) corporation (donations are tax deductible), is the
watchdog group for the environment of the entire Island.
