Morris Acting Regional Administrator United States Environmental Protection Agency Region III 6th and Walnut Streets Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19106 Dear Dr. Morris We have completed a review of allegations made by two citizens concerning an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant for construction of a sewer system in York County, Virginia. On February 25, 1977, a York County, Virginia resident wrote the Comptroller General and asked that he stop payment on grant C510405 because of alleged imptoprieties in the grant process On March 2, 1977, the complainant sent a second letter to the Comptroller General, and since then five more letters have been received by us from the original complainant and a second complainant. The letters contained numerous charges about the justification and actual purpose of the project as well as the grantee's and EPA's compliance with Federal regulations. The first grant for the project was awarded to York County on November 4, 1974, for $270,370. It was for development of plans and specifications for interceptois, force mains, and pumping stations in Sanitary District No. 2. This was followed on June 27, 1975, by a grant of $2,929,650, for the construction of those items. The grant was increased on Match 4, 1977, by $540,600 and again on April 13, 1977, by $3,204,750, bringing the total construction grant award to $6,675,000. The last increase provided Federal funds for the construction of a sewage collection system which would tie into the other parts of the project. Original plans were that the collection sewer portion of the project was to be financed with local funds. This last increase was the subject of several of the charges in the letters we received on the project. We made our review at EPA Headquarters and Region III and in Virginia at the State Water Control Board and the Department of Health, Richmond, Virginia. We examined pertinent records, - 0c/7/L/
