What does a $119k shortfall mean for the program?

• SHUTTING DOWN ~6 sitesOR

• SHUTTING DOWN the entire network for ~2 additional weeks per year

OR• EPA money expected in March; to ensure contractors are paid

on time, contracts/task orders are offset to May/June timeframe (exact dates vary by contractor).• By funding all contractors through the 1st week of May next year

(i.e. less than 12 months), we can save:

~$120kTHIS CAN ONLY BE DONE ONCE!

There is a chance that payment will be delayed.
