USAspending.gov records $362,520,338.80 in Environmental Protection Agency obligations tagged to Alabama on 131 awards. The join is awarding-agency 068 × place-of-performance AL. 131 awards against $362,520,338.80 is a 131-award environmental file, distinct from Alabama’s NSF join in this slice. Dividing the two packet facts yields about $2,767,330.83 as an implied mean, not a median and not a typical invoice. Amounts are obligations, not outlays. No fiscal year is published in this packet.

Agency 068 meeting Alabama
Filter awarding agency to Environmental Protection Agency (068) and geography to Alabama (AL) and the USAspending aggregate returns 131 awards totaling $362,520,338.80. Drop either key and you leave this cell. Alabama (AL) excludes Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. A Mobile-coded award with a Mississippi place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
Read 131 as an award-record count, not a census of named Gulf projects, inspection tallies, or Superfund site counts. 131 awards against $362,520,338.80 is a 131-award environmental file, distinct from Alabama’s NSF join in this slice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Environmental Protection Agency in Alabama keeps both filters on. Alabama federal spending is every awarding agency tagged to AL. Environmental Protection Agency is Environmental Protection Agency without the Alabama filter. All spending ties indexes other spending ties.
This is awarding-agency 068 × AL, not Foundation 049. Restoration-council names are unpublished. Sharing a map with Environmental Protection Agency does not prove Alabama caused $362,520,338.80. Correlation is not causation. The only keys on this page are awarding-agency 068 and place-of-performance AL.
Gulf folklore is not a packet field
$362,520,338.80 does not measure named Gulf projects, inspection tallies, or Superfund site counts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 068 and an AL place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 131 awards as a census of named Gulf projects, inspection tallies, or Superfund site counts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Alabama federal spending or Environmental Protection Agency matched $362,520,338.80 and 131, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state EPA joins are other pairs, not addends.
Alabama, not a Mobile Bay-only map
The AL tag is place of performance, not recipient HQ and not a commuting shed. Alabama (AL) excludes Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. A Mobile-coded award with a Mississippi place-of-performance tag is a different cell. A recipient in Alabama with work tagged elsewhere is out of this cell.
This packet does not split $362,520,338.80 by city, county, or named facility. 131 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
One hundred thirty-one EPA obligations
USAspending obligations are commitments. $362,520,338.80 is not proof that Treasury already disbursed that sum in Alabama. Later payments, deobligations, and upward adjustments can all move the figure. Keep the obligation label.
Alabama’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 131 awards USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $362,520,338.80. Sharing a geography with Environmental Protection Agency does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.
Citing EPA in Alabama
Cite USAspending.gov: Environmental Protection Agency (agency 068) obligated $362,520,338.80 on 131 awards coded to Alabama. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as named Gulf projects, inspection tallies, or Superfund site counts.
Prefer Environmental Protection Agency in Alabama if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Alabama federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to AL. Environmental Protection Agency is the 068 parent without the AL filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $362,520,338.80.
A usable footnote names Environmental Protection Agency, Alabama, $362,520,338.80, and 131. The compact headline $362.5M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2,767,330.83 is $362,520,338.80 divided by 131. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
