Citizens of San Andreas who enjoy the water are blessed with tons of gorgeous ocean in which to swim, sail, and even salvage. However, some sharp-eyed citizens have noticed that the seafloor near the Palmer-Taylor Power Station didn’t match the natural hue of other locales. The Palmer-Taylor Power Station is responsible for the state’s electricity needs, and is a vital part of our local infrastructure. Needless to say, people were concerned at the idea that there could be something wrong with either the station or the environment around it.
Luckily, the Parks Department has released an ecological study that confirms there is no danger or damage to the seafloor, nor its flora or fauna. The release is printed below in its entirety. For now, you can rest assured that both the station and the ocean around it is doing just fine.
Palmer-Taylor Aquatic Study Findings
Paleto (Ranger HQ) — A study has been conducted into the discoloration of the seafloor near Palmer-Taylor Power Station.
In early January the San Andreas Parks Department received a report of discoloration on the seafloor near the Palmer-Taylor Power Station. Thorough studies have been conducted including clippings of the fauna and observation of the wildlife around the area. Multiple labs have been taken and the results have determined that all plants and sealife are thriving and healthy. The discharge from the station itself has also been observed to be clean.
Our investigations into the history of the plant and previous studies conducted over the years have uncovered a 10 year old report detailing a faulty waste disposal system. This waste disposal system was repaired in the same year and studies have been conducted since to ensure the continued improvement of the affected plant and sealife. The only long lasting damage observed is the discoloration of the seafloor itself.
The San Andreas Parks Department, in its commitment to protecting our environment, will continue to monitor the situation and do routine checks on an annual basis.
Shout News will update this story should any new revelations emerge about the ocean ecosystem around the Palmer-Taylor Power Station, but for now, the situation seems to be under control.
Correction: A previous version of this article referred to the San Andreas Park Department as the Rangers, which is not entirely correct. The article has been updated.
