The Order included an assessed penalty of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) and required the Authority to pay Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) of the assed penalty to DEQ, which was paid on January 20, 2022. The remaining Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) of the assessed penalty was waived upon the submittal of an approved Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) plan to total no less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) and upon the completion of the SEP. The approved SEP included purchasing and Installing an In-Situ Multiparameter Sonde for a continuous water quality monitoring station on Adams Creek and then submitting a final report to DEQ summarizing the findings.

The estimated costs pertaining to purchasing and installing the Sonde totaled Ten Thousand Two Hundred Three Dollars ($10,203).
After reviewing the final report, DEQ has determined that the Authority has completed all tasks as required of the Order. Therefore, DEQ is closing Consent Order Case NO. 21-248.
