AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Chattahoochee River Cleanup: Atlanta has hired an outside firm to independently assess what went wrong after a May storm triggered a massive fish kill, with officials pointing to stormwater runoff and sewage system operations at the West Area CSO Tunnel Treatment Facility. Coastal Conservation & Public Access: Georgia’s Coastal Resources Division is gearing up for Beach Week 2026 (June 29–July 1) with free, family-friendly events on Jekyll Island, plus hands-on learning with scientists and game wardens. Wildlife Health Alerts: Chatham and Liberty County health departments issued rabies alerts after a bat-to-dog chain in Chatham and a raccoon in Liberty tested positive, urging residents to avoid contact with unfamiliar animals and keep pets vaccinated. Heat Risk for Georgia: A federal extreme-heat risk map warns that parts of the Southeast could see dangerous triple-digit heat index conditions soon, raising concerns for outdoor workers and vulnerable residents. Water & Wastewater Planning: Liberty County’s development authority voted to seek more testing for possible discharge sites for a new wastewater treatment plant, weighing the Laurel View versus North Newport rivers amid local opposition. Local Land-Use Decisions: Decatur is updating its strategic plan with added land use policy focus, while DeKalb residents continue pushing back against proposed data center regulations over pollution, water use, noise, and power demand. DNR Fishing Ruling: A federal court halted Georgia’s proposed red snapper recreational season set for July 1, delaying access while the state works on a new application. Community Pollinator Push: A Georgia 4-H Pollinator Ambassador program pick highlights youth-led efforts to protect pollinators and strengthen local environmental education.
