AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Data Centers & Water Quality: Virginia’s data center debate is getting sharper as reporting highlights limited tracking of chemicals in cooling-water discharges, including permits tied to creeks feeding Lake Anna—raising concerns about “forever chemicals” and what regulators may be missing. Microplastics: Va. Attorney General Jeff Jackson praised EPA research on microplastics in drinking water but urged mandatory monitoring so communities know what they’re exposed to. Climate Policy: Virginia is set to rejoin the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, with advocates arguing it will push cleaner power and fund flood preparedness and energy efficiency for low-income households. Local Air & Noise: Arlington County is weighing a longer phase-out of gas leaf blowers, with a public hearing set after a vote to consider an 18–36 month transition. Wildlife Health: A rabid raccoon was reported in Waynesboro, prompting exposure warnings and rabies-prevention guidance. Invasive Species: A new warning spreads about toxic, invasive hammerhead worms that can regenerate and are hard to kill. Storm Impacts: A severe storm caused a tent collapse at EastLake Community Church in Moneta, killing one and injuring 22. Public Safety: First responders searched the Potomac near Great Falls for a missing swimmer, later shifting to recovery-focused efforts.
