AGP Executive Report

Last update: 26 minutes ago

Flash Flood Response: Dozens were evacuated from the Grand Canyon after a Saturday flash flood hit Bright Angel Creek, wiping out footbridges and altering the creek bed; park officials are still seeking information on more than 20 people possibly unaccounted for. Drought Impacts: A Horry County farmer says this summer’s drought left soil too dry for crops like potatoes and peppers, with irrigation from a well helping but with worries that low water tables could strain conditions into winter. Local Mosquito Control: Charleston and West Ashley are scheduled for aerial mosquito spraying Sunday morning after West Nile virus detections; officials warn the insecticide used can be harmful to fish and wildlife. Water Quality Watch: A new study ranks Columbia mid-tier for drinking water, flagging lead concerns while finding no PFAS detections in the categories measured. Wildlife Habitat: The South Carolina State Museum opened the Carolina Wildlife Garden, now designated a Certified Wildlife Habitat, plus a seed library initiative for native plants. Energy & Permitting: Mount Pleasant is weighing a temporary moratorium on new data center projects over potential environmental impacts, while the state PSC declined review of a Spartanburg private power station plan. Rare Earth Push: Cyclic Materials secured $75 million to scale rare-earth recycling, including a South Carolina campus aimed at speeding domestic supply chains.
