AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoPFAS Oversight: The Wisconsin DNR issued a new general permit (WI-0012345-0) to require PFAS monitoring for sewage sludge (biosolids), with an updated plan and a new grant program planned for later in 2026 to support sampling at wastewater facilities and even private wells, schools, and childcare sites. Severe Weather & Public Safety: Geneva Lake’s July 3 boating tragedy is still unfolding: investigators say a sudden storm with 90–100 mph winds and downburst conditions led to a capsized 25-foot boat, and three children (ages 6, 7, 10) were trapped inside and later freed by divers. Water Quality Warning: A blue-green algae bloom on Lake Dubay sent a water ski group away and drove beachgoers to leave early; DNR says the algae can be toxic if swallowed, especially for kids and pets. Heat at Night: Wisconsin’s climatology office reports nights above 70°F have nearly tripled since 1950, driven by more humidity and slower cooling—so heat risk isn’t just a daytime issue. Local Storm Recovery: Rock County residents can now apply for FEMA help after the April 17 storm, though details on a local disaster assistance center are still being coordinated. Dam & River Impacts: After a Beloit Dam malfunction dropped Rock River levels and exposed the riverbed, officials say water levels returned to normal, but the event left lingering questions for boaters and residents.
