Will the City be fined if we don’t meet the MAO timeline?

Maybe. The MAO is a cooperative agreement and DEQ has some leeway to work with the City if we can prove that we're moving in a positive direction towards completing the new Wastewater Treatment Plant. The schedule to build the new plant is progressive with specific milestones which DEQ will be monitoring. If we are unable to meet milestones along the way, we would proactively approach DEQ to amend the MAO.
