One big item the city should litigate here and now is the failure of RIAC to comply with the existing water pollution issues. The ROD should not be accepted with the glycol management program still unfunded. RIAC needs to borrow $25 million to build that facility. RIAC is trying to get the money from the state Clean Water Financing Fund but must compete with cities and towns for the money. When will RIAC go before the financing board? No one knows. Here are the recent deals. The city should block the ROD until RIAC gets the money to build the $25 million glycol management plant.
