DEM File Reviews

REGULATORY COORDINATION AND PUBLIC INFORMATION is essentially a customer service program to help the regulated community, both businesses and individuals, get the information they need to comply with regulations, and to simplify the regulatory process. A key aspect of this program is File Review Coordination; this function is conducted within the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management's (RI DEM) Office of Technical & Customer Assistance (OTCA). File reviews are coordinated for several different areas within the Department, such as:
  • Air - Permits and Violations


  • CERCLIS - Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Information System. This covers files related to Site Remediation.


  • Dams - Any and all in Rhode Island


  • ISDS - Individual Sewage Disposal Systems. All septic folders


  • LUST - Leaking Underground Storage Tanks


  • RIPDES - Rhode Island Pollution Discharge Elimination System permits issued


  • UIC - Underground Injection Control


  • UST - Underground Storage Tanks


  • Waste - National Priorities List, Landfills


  • Wetlands - All Wetlands Folders
All file reviews are subject to RIGL 38-2, which is described on the Attorney General's website, "WHAT IS THE ACCESS TO PUBLIC RECORDS ACT?". This information is also available for free by calling the Attorney General's office at (401) 274-4400.

File reviews are scheduled within 10-14 days after the initial file review request has been received. File reviews are conducted in OTCA on Tuesdays and Thursdays. To schedule a file review request, contact Maureen Casey at (401) 222-4700, ext. 7307, via e-mail at maureen.casey@dem.ri.gov or via FAX at (401) 222-3810. OTCA is located at 235 Promenade Street - Suite 340C, Providence, RI 02908.
