OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Authorities say charges won't be filed against members of a public board after an apparent low bidder was passed over for demolition work on the Tar Creek Superfund cleanup site.
A spokesman for the Oklahoma attorney general's office said Monday that it reviewed an audit examining the award of demolition work on the site and didn't find any evidence to support criminal charges. The Oklahoman reports the attorney general also ordered the state auditor's office not to release its findings.
At issue are the contracts for work on northeastern Oklahoma properties that were contaminated by lead and zinc mining.
The Lead-Impacted Communities Relocation Assistance Trust was established to offer relocation assistance to property owners and oversee demolition work.
