Watershed protection and flood prevention — CFDA 10.904 totals

Reading $560.0M on the 10.904 watershed listing

USAspending.gov records $560.0M in obligations on assistance awards tagged 10.904. An obligation is a federal commitment on the award. It is not a construction-in-progress account and not a local sponsor’s bond schedule. SpendingVault indexes the CFDA line so watershed-protection dollars can be compared with other assistance listings on the same metric. The packet does not attach a fiscal year to the $560.0M.

Watershed projects can run for years. Multi-year work still appears here as whatever obligation sum the extract holds, not as a remaining-to-complete budget. If a sponsor spreadsheet shows a different project cost, that spreadsheet is a different ledger. This page stays with $560.0M, 187 awards, 148 recipients, and 30 states. A completed structure on the ground is an outcome this file does not record; the $560.0M remains a commitment total on assistance awards.

187 awards and 148 recipients

One hundred eighty-seven awards sit on 148 recipient identifiers — a relatively tight pairing compared with formula files that mint thousands of rows. Award count is a row count; recipient count is distinct identifiers. Sponsors can hold more than one award, and modifications can add rows without minting a new recipient. The packet does not classify recipients as districts, cities, or other sponsors.

A 148-recipient list is short enough to scan on the program hub. Repeat names are a fact about identifiers, not a finding about which watersheds were treated. Structure type — dam, channel, or land treatment — is not in the packet and is not inferred from the listing title. Open the amount column to see whether a few large cooperative agreements dominate the $560.0M.

30 states, not a nationwide flood map

The extract counts 30 states for CFDA 10.904. That is narrower than many nationwide formula listings and wider than a single-basin earmark. The packet does not name the 30 or split the $560.0M among them. Watershed boundaries cross counties and sometimes states; USAspending still assigns a state count from recorded location fields, which this file does not specify.

Thirty states is a coverage statistic, not a flood-risk ranking. Absence of a state from the unnamed 30 is not explained here because missing states are not listed. Use award-level place fields on the hub if a particular basin is the question. This guide will not invent a per-state construction table.

Protection obligations versus flood outcomes

The listing title names protection and flood prevention. The extract still measures obligations, not peak-flow reductions, not acres of easement, and not structures completed. Mixing $560.0M with an after-action flood report would claim results this file does not contain. Match the metric before comparing this CFDA line to a local project brochure.

Outlays on the same awards, if present in USAspending, are a separate field. Construction draws can lag obligations by years. This rollup does not substitute payments for commitments. Cite $560.0M as recorded obligations on 187 awards, then stop. Local sponsor match, if any, is not in the packet and is not added to the federal total.

Keeping watershed dollars on CFDA 10.904

Other water-resources assistance listings can sit nearby on the all-programs index because their obligation totals occupy a similar band. Dollar proximity is not a shared watershed. Do not add 10.904’s $560.0M to a different CFDA to build a homemade “all flood prevention” sum. Match the assistance-listing number on any sponsor agreement before comparing this extract to a project file.

Opening the 10.904 award table

The Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention program page lists the 187 awards and 148 recipients behind $560.0M. Filter by location if a state is the question; the 30-state count will not name them. Agency pages roll up a different USAspending cut; this packet does not name the awarding agency, so the $560.0M stays on the CFDA card. Sponsor agreements that use a local project name still need the 10.904 listing number before any dollar comparison. This page will not merge those local names into the $560.0M.

Questions

How much is obligated under watershed protection CFDA 10.904?

The figure is a sum of assistance-award commitments, not Treasury outlays and not a count of flood-control structures completed. USAspending.gov obligations on CFDA 10.904 are recorded commitments, not Treasury outlays.

How many watershed awards and sponsors are in the file?

The extract lists 187 awards and 148 recipients. Award count is a row count; recipient count is distinct identifiers. The packet does not classify those recipients as conservation districts, cities, or other sponsors. USAspending.gov obligations on CFDA 10.904 are recorded commitments, not Treasury outlays.

Which states have CFDA 10.904 awards?

The file counts 30 states but does not name them or split the $560.0M by state. Watersheds can cross borders; USAspending state counts follow recorded location fields that this packet does not specify. USAspending.gov obligations on CFDA 10.904 are recorded commitments, not Treasury outlays.

Does $560.0M equal construction spending already paid?

No. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are payments. The $560.0M on CFDA 10.904 is the obligation total. Construction draws and local sponsor match are not in this packet. USAspending.gov obligations on CFDA 10.904 are recorded commitments, not Treasury outlays.
