I understand Mr. Pisaturo's frustration. What's driving the design and cost of the project is the Federal requirements for archaeological research and that the EPA is not providing funding. Back in the '70s, when the majority of the sewer system was constructed, the EPA funded 75% of the cost. Unfortunately, that funding doesn't exits today. What also adds to the project cost are agreements with the Narragansett Indians that compensate them for overseeing archeological digging.
