AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoSevere Weather Watch: Another round of strong to severe storms is expected tonight into the overnight, with damaging winds, large hail, heavy rain, and an isolated tornado possible; a Flood Watch is in play in parts of northeast Wisconsin as heat and humidity linger. Extreme Heat Safety: Milwaukee and much of the Midwest remain under heat alerts, with heat index values pushing into the low 100s before a partial break over the holiday weekend. Great Lakes Pollution Risk: Enbridge’s Line 5 reroute work spilled about 1,500–1,900 gallons of drilling fluid into a forested wetland near the Bad River area, with small amounts reaching Vaughn Creek; regulators say they verified reported volumes and Enbridge is working to remove the material. PFAS & Water Protections: The DNR issued a new PFAS monitoring general permit for sewage sludge (biosolids) generators, requiring PFAS monitoring and reporting under a new state law. Wildlife & Community Science: The DNR is inviting residents to take part in a Game Bird Survey (wild turkey, ruffed grouse, pheasants) from July 1 through Aug. 31 to help track reproduction. Local Environment & Recreation: Milwaukee County beaches list strict “don’t bring” rules for glass, alcohol, fires, fireworks, and large tents/canopies—aimed at keeping shorelines safer during peak summer.
