The results of our inquiries and the audits that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the State have performed and our discussions with Ms. Greenberger clearly show that the Federal funds provided to Portage County were used for the purposes of the EPA grant. OBJECTIVE, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY We performed this review to determine whether grant funds EPA provided to Portage County were used for the purposes set forth in the grant agreement. In conducting our work, we obtained and reviewed an EPA audit report on the grant to Portage Counity. We also obtained background information on the project from EPA's Regional Inspector General's Office in Chicago and discussed the project grant and the project audit with representatives of the inspector general. We were unable to review the audit wprkpapers developed by the inspector general because they had been destroyed in accordance with Federal records disposal regulations., We discussed the case with an agent from the FBI's Akron office, which performed an inquiry in 1978. We obtained and reviewed an audit report of the auditor of the State of Ohio, and discussed its contents with the State examiners involved in the audit. We also talked with Ms. Greenberger. Our work was con- ducted at EPA headquarters in Washington, D.C. FACTS OBTAINED The purpose of the grant to Portage County (Franklin Township Sanitary Sewer District No. 2), Ravenna, Ohio, was to help finance construction of a new interceptor sewer system, including pump stations and force mains, and a new 0.6 million gallonsiper day secondary wastewater treatment plant. The grant period was from November 23, 1970, through April 25, 1974. ~ (089185)
