#1 due process

Outside criminal prosecutions, where the hell did handling government grants get tagged with that? If it is not a contract but a grant, why doesn't a grantor have the power to terminate. Smells like another power the judiciary granted itself.

#2 The EPA can revise the grant and change the statement of work. It needs to do this fast and by people who know what they are doing.

#3 Audit the recipient group to see how they have used the funds that have been received.

#5 a decent way to revise the grant statement of work is to require the grantee to list a number of specific tasks they expect to accomplish and for each one develop a work plan that has to be reviewed and approved before costs may be incurred and require each quarter's work to be reviewd and approved before costs may be incurred on the next quarter's work

#7 ^6

not sure if overhead rates may be adjusted retroactive to initial approval.

certainly they can be capped at 15% for new grants or amended grants that just add on to ongoing work that is nearing completion
