National report cites Warren beach for bacterial levels
Warren Town Beach exceeded Rhode Island's daily maximum bacterial standards last year more than any other beach by percentage, says a report out today from an environmental group.
Warren Town Beach exceeded the limit 29 percent of the time. Following it were Plum Beach Club at 25 percent, Saunderstown Yacht Club at 23 percent, and Third Beach in Newport at 17 percent. To see the full list, go here.
But the report, by Natural Resources Defense Council, says 59 percent of all monitored beaches in the state did not exceed standards. Different beaches are broken up into various tiers in the report
Because more rain fell last year than in 2005, beach closings increased, the report says.
