Catalyst for Improving the Environment
Why We Did This Review
The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's Office of
Inspector General conducts
site visits of American
Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (Recovery Act)
clean water and drinking water
projects. We selected a project
in Saugus, Massachusetts, for
review.
Background
Project costs for the Saugus
sewer system rehabilitation
project totaled $2,504,691.
The town received a
$2,290,239 loan from the
Massachusetts Clean Water
State Revolving Fund to fund
the project. Using funds
provided under the Recovery
Act, the Clean Water State
Revolving Fund provided
principal forgiveness of
$210,702. The town is
required to repay the
remaining loan amount of
$2,079,537.
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
Site Visit of the Comprehensive Sewer System
Rehabilitation, Subsystem PS-5, Saugus,
Massachusetts
What We Found
We conducted an unannounced site visit of the Comprehensive Sewer System
Rehabilitation, Subsystem PS-5, in Saugus, Massachusetts, in December 2009. We
toured the project site; interviewed town representatives, engineering personnel,
and contractor personnel; and reviewed documentation related to Recovery Act
requirements.
Based on our visit, no significant issues or concerns came to our attention that
would require immediate action by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the
State of Massachusetts, or the Town of Saugus.
