The governor and legislative leaders approved a $366,282 settlement Tuesday that ends a lawsuit alleging the Tar Creek relocation trust failed to honor its contracts with two companies that performed demolition and cleanup work at the EPA Superfund site.

Vision Construction and Project Management Inc. and CWF Enterprises Inc. filed the lawsuit last month in Ottawa County District Court against the Lead-Impacted Communities Relocation Assistance Trust.

The companies sought a judgment of $366,282; they said they were not paid for work they performed on 37 properties.

The lawsuit claims Lloyd Stone received a contract in February to clean up or demolish 156 houses in the Tar Creek area. Stone's Backhoe, Dozer and Trucking Co. of Miami, OK, hired Vision Construction and CWF Enterprises to provide "various demolition and cleanup work for the trust,” according to the lawsuit.
