Generators are sized according to the number of watts of electrical power they deliver. “Vandalizing amenities for people with disabilities denies them opportunities and access that people who do not have disabilities take for granted.Here are the features you should consider when making a choice: Amount of Power a Generator Will Deliver “Our mission is to maintain these special places for wildlife habitat and for the public - meaning, everyone in the public - to enjoy outdoor recreation,” he added. “These incidents seemingly targeting facilities for people with disabilities, however, are particularly low and mean,” Healey said. Over the Fourth of July holiday this summer, two portable toilets were burned at Beach Pond in Exeter, he said. “Routinely, we deal with the illegal dumping of trash and household items like mattresses, graffiti, damage to gates and locks, damage to parking lots and access ways, damage to docks, border boulders moved at boat ramps and fishing access areas, the destruction and removal of signs, etc.” Healey said. – Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management Two portable toilets were burned at Beach Pond in Exeter, Rhode Island in July. “Carbuncle is a big pond and our portajohn vendor ensures us that the sanitizing solution used in the portajohn is eco-friendly, but to put it nicely, poop in a pond is a biohazard and we’re going to err on the side of discretion and not stock the pond for now.” “DEM will have to take water samples to determine when we can stock there again,” he noted. Healey said officials will likely wait until ice fishing season and stock Carbuncle then. instead must be spent on cleaning up vandalism,” Healey said.ĭEM stocked eight other ponds and lakes with special trout and salmon this week to honor veterans ahead of the holiday weekend, but will hold off on stocking Carbuncle for now. “Time that could be spent maintaining or improving other DEM properties - wildlife management areas, fishing spots, etc. “This one’s destroyed and our vendor is understandably ticked off.”Īdditionally, the person or group of people who tossed the toilet into the water also tipped over the two other portable toilets in the parking lot, the spokesman said. “ADA-accessible portable toilets cost $2,500 apiece,” Healey said. The toilet was removed from the pond at some point this past weekend by “some civic-minded anglers,” Healey said, noting that the department was grateful to them for doing so. The vent pipe on the portable toilet could be seen sticking out of the water roughly 50 feet off the dock following the incident, the spokesman said.
