AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoCoastal Safety: South Carolina’s deadliest beach hazard is often invisible—rip currents. The National Weather Service says they’re most dangerous when waves look calm, near low tide, and around jetties and piers; officials urge lifeguarded beaches, heed flags, check the beach forecast, and if caught, don’t fight the current—swim parallel and signal for help. Hurricane Readiness: Joint Base Charleston is urging Lowcountry residents and service members to prepare now with a 72-hour kit, review evacuation plans, and enroll in mass notification alerts as flooding can hit before storms make landfall. Wildlife Health: DPH confirmed a rabid bobcat near Fort Lawn; two people and one dog were exposed and were advised to seek care, with officials reminding residents to keep distance from wild animals and keep pets vaccinated. Renewables Policy: A federal court vacated IRS Notice 2025-42, restoring a “five percent safe harbor” for the start of construction on certain wind and solar projects—an important deadline issue for developers. Local Waste & Recycling: Meridian Waste is launching a new Richland County contract with 13 new McNeilus refuse and recycling vehicles, including automated side loaders, supported by a new Midlands service facility. Invasive Threat: Experts warn a new invasive hornet—yellow-legged—could pose a bigger risk to SC beekeeping than other hornets, with concerns about spread and large nests.
