How much has the Environmental Protection Agency obligated in California?

USAspending.gov records $3,294,993,906.20 across 1,150 awards with awarding agency 068 and a California tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a count of Superfund sites, unique permits, or pounds of emissions. Environmental Protection Agency in California is the live overlay for this pair. Keep both keys when quoting $3,294,993,906.20.

Is $3,294,993,906.20 a measure of Superfund sites, unique permits, or pounds of emissions?

No. The packet publishes $3,294,993,906.20 and 1,150 awards for agency 068 inside CA coding. Those other series are unpublished here. Unique recipients are unpublished. Quote the dollar total and the award count together. Obligations are not outlays.

Why does this EPA file have 1,150 awards?

That is the award-record count for 068 × CA. Combined with $3,294,993,906.20, the average is about $2.87 million. Modifications and repeat instruments add rows. 1,150 is not unique Superfund sites, unique permits, or pounds of emissions. Later ingests can revise the count. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.

Where is the live table?

Environmental Protection Agency in California is the overlay. California federal spending and Environmental Protection Agency are the parents, not addends. All spending ties lists other pairs. Keep both sides of the join when citing $3,294,993,906.20. USAspending.gov is the source. Obligations are not outlays.

Environmental Protection Agency federal obligations in California

The Environmental Protection Agency shows $3,294,993,906.20 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to California, across 1,150 awards. Awarding-agency 068 and California (CA) are the pair. One thousand one hundred fifty awards is a mid-count EPA file: neither a handful of cleanup vehicles nor an assistance flood. The implied mean is about $2.87 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

EPA awards tagged to California

Environmental Protection Agency as awarding agency, California as place-of-performance: 1,150 records summing to $3,294,993,906.20. An Environmental Protection Agency award coded outside CA is out. An award in California from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. California (CA) excludes Nevada, Oregon, Arizona, and Hawaii. A Reno-coded award is Nevada.

One thousand one hundred fifty awards is a mid-count EPA file: neither a handful of cleanup vehicles nor an assistance flood. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,150 as 1,150 unique Superfund sites, unique permits, or pounds of emissions. The overlay Environmental Protection Agency in California is the both-keys table. California federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Environmental Protection Agency is the agency book without a CA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This packet does not name Clean Water, Superfund, or diesel-grant line items inside $3,294,993,906.20. Correlation is not causation: California did not “cause” $3,294,993,906.20 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 068 × CA only.

Not Superfund sites or a permit roster

$3,294,993,906.20 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 CA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,150 awards as a census of Superfund sites, unique permits, or pounds of emissions. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If California federal spending or Environmental Protection Agency matched $3,294,993,906.20 and 1,150, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona EPA joins are other pairs, not addends.

California, not a Pacific EPA rollup

Place of performance CA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. California (CA) excludes Nevada, Oregon, Arizona, and Hawaii. A Reno-coded award is Nevada. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not name Clean Water, Superfund, or diesel-grant line items inside $3,294,993,906.20. This packet does not split $3,294,993,906.20 by city, county, or named facility. 1,150 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Mid-count vehicles versus cash already paid

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $3,294,993,906.20 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in California confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

California’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,150-award 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 $3,294,993,906.20.

Citing EPA in California

Cite USAspending.gov: Environmental Protection Agency (agency 068) obligated $3,294,993,906.20 on 1,150 awards coded to California. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as Superfund sites, unique permits, or pounds of emissions.

Prefer Environmental Protection Agency in California if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. California federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to CA. Environmental Protection Agency is the 068 parent without the CA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $3,294,993,906.20.

A usable footnote names Environmental Protection Agency, California, $3,294,993,906.20, and 1,150. The compact headline $3.29 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2.87 million is $3,294,993,906.20 divided by 1,150. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
