Environmental Management, Inc., an Oklahoma-based environmental clean-up company, has agreed to pay as much as $1 million to settle charges it defrauded the federal government. The suit, which began as a whistle-blower action under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act, alleged that the company
overbilled the Drug Enforcement Agency for the work it did cleaning up methamphetamine labs and improperly disposed of chemicals.
