AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoFlood Risk in Southern New England: A Sunday storm is bringing heavy rain and a Rhode Island flood watch, with the worst downpours expected late morning into early afternoon. Totals of about 1–3 inches are likely, and narrow bands could dump 2–4 inches in a few hours—enough for localized flash flooding and dangerous road ponding. Coastal Habitat Restoration: RIDEM, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Save the Bay are restoring Ninigret Barrier Beach (East Beach) by removing invasive trees and plants and reviving tidal creeks to rebuild habitat for shorebirds and strengthen coastal resilience. Invasive Species, On the Water: RIDEM and partners installed a buoy-marked boating lane at Worden Pond to reduce hydrilla fragments being chopped up by propellers, supporting ongoing hydrilla management. Wildlife Health Alert: RIDOH is investigating a potentially rabid bat incident at Roger Williams Park Zoo and is asking anyone with possible bat contact around Aug. 24 to call. Renewables Update: Rhode Island Energy is tentatively moving toward 150 MW of onshore wind from northern Maine, pending negotiations and state approval. Drinking Water Notice: Prudence Island Water District issued a repeat “boil your water” warning due to significant deficiencies tied to past coliform/E. coli findings.
