EPA awards tagged to Washington

Environmental Protection Agency as awarding agency, Washington as place-of-performance: 508 records summing to $1,116,289,942.58. An EPA award coded outside WA is out. An award in Washington from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Washington (WA) excludes Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska. A Portland-coded award is Oregon.

Five hundred eight awards is a mid-count EPA file. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 508 as 508 unique Superfund sites, unique permits, or pounds of emissions. The overlay Environmental Protection Agency in Washington is the both-keys table. Washington federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Environmental Protection Agency is the agency book without a WA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Not Superfund sites or a permit roster

$1,116,289,942.58 does not measure Superfund sites, unique permits, or pounds of emissions. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 068 and a WA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 508 awards as a census of cleanup sites. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Washington federal spending or Environmental Protection Agency matched $1,116,289,942.58 and 508, the join would be pointless. Correlation is not causation: Washington did not “cause” $1,116,289,942.58 by existing as a Pacific state.
