AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Mosquito Control & Public Health: Charleston and West Ashley are set for aerial mosquito spraying Sunday morning (6:15–8:15 a.m.), with a backup date Sept. 6, after West Nile virus positives prompted expanded local treatments; officials warn the insecticide naled (Trumpet EC) can be harmful to fish, aquatic invertebrates, wildlife and bees. Water Quality Watch: A new study by Culligan ZeroWater ranks Columbia 31st among 50 college towns for water quality, giving a “C” grade for lead (with most towns showing lead above EPA’s goal) while reporting no PFAS detections in Columbia’s measured categories. Wildlife Habitat in the Spotlight: The South Carolina State Museum officially opened the Carolina Wildlife Garden, now designated a Certified Wildlife Habitat, plus a seed library effort to boost native plant diversity. Energy & Oversight: South Carolina’s Public Service Commission declined to review a 450-megawatt Spartanburg power station tied to a private data center project, saying it lacks jurisdiction—an issue the Southern Environmental Law Center challenged. Invasive Species & Hunting Debate: A local sports-focused piece argues feral hogs and invasive Asian carp are here to stay, framing hogs as economically valuable while raising questions about deer management and hunting rules. Outdoor Safety: Beachgoers are reminded to heed warning flags and hazards as National Beach Day approaches.
