AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoWildlife Watch: North Dakota Game and Fish says roadside counts show pheasants are up for fall hunting, with 80 pheasants per 100 miles (+3.8% vs. last year) and statewide numbers 57% above the 10-year average, plus regional gains in the northwest and northeast. Water Quality: The ND Department of Environmental Quality added four more waterbodies to its harmful algal bloom list—Epping-Springbrook Dam (advisory), Blacktail Dam (advisory), Lake Darling (warning), and Buffalo Lodge Lake (warning)—and urges people and pets to avoid suspected blue-green algae. Mining & Processing: Talon Metals is backing away from a planned nickel processing plant in Mercer County, ND, and shifting processing of its Tamarack project to the Humboldt Mill in Michigan, citing existing infrastructure and workforce; the move leaves related U.S. Department of Energy funding tied to the ND plan unresolved. Local Land Impact: A Durbin Township homeowner near a possible Geronimo Power land sale says he wasn’t informed until reading about it, raising questions about how affected neighbors are notified. Energy & Environment Policy: EPA is proposed to reverse its North Dakota haze decision, a move that could reshape how air pollution is regulated.
