INVESTIGATE
Government Contractor Settles Civil False Claims Act Allegations
ManTech Advanced Systems International, Inc., a federal
government contractor, agreed to pay $750,000 to settle civil
fraud allegations that ManTech falsely represented that its
principal manager of a contract for security services at the EPA
had a Top Secret clearance. The settlement resolves allegations
that from the time the project manager's clearance had been
revoked until the time the project manager was removed from
the project, ManTech billed the EPA $325,701 for his services.
The resolution was the result of a coordinated effort between
the EPA OIG and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District
of Virginia.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Diagnosed implementation and oversight lapses
at the EPA, along with state government and
the city of Flint, Michigan, that resulted in a
widespread drinking water contamination crisis,
spurring the EPA to strengthen its ability to
respond quickly, efficiently and effectively in
future emergencies.
Reported weaknesses in the EPA's oversight
over land application of biosolids relating to the
safety of 352 known pollutants, leading to EPA
action to address concerns.
Protected human health and the environment
by identifying in the EPA's heavy-duty vehicle
emissions program both risks and opportunities
to safeguard against fraud.
1%
Potentially prevented human and environmental
exposure to hazardous substances by alerting
