Wildlife & Public Safety: Georgia DNR is asking outdoor folks to report wild turkey sightings through Aug. 31, including hens, lone gobblers, young poults, and even “no turkeys seen,” to track reproduction and guide management. Water Quality: Rockdale County extended a boil water advisory for parts of the north side after a water main break, with residents north of I-20 told to keep boiling until Georgia EPD confirms results. Coastal Wildlife: Georgia wildlife crews freed an entangled manatee off the coast near St. Simons Island and Brunswick after removing crab trap lines and a buoy over two days, in the state’s first documented manatee entanglement. Waste & Climate: Chamblee launched an opt-in curbside composting service starting in October, offering weekly pickup of food scraps for $19/month, with compost returned to metro Atlanta farms and gardens. Air & Health: Metro Atlanta residents also get a reminder of how fast conditions can shift—elsewhere in the U.S., wildfire smoke advisories are driving “high health risk” air alerts. Pollution Permitting: Georgia EPD posted a public notice for a modified NPDES permit for the Cartersville Water Pollution Control Plant, proposing updated limits and monitoring for expanded treated wastewater discharge to the Etowah River.
