Environmental Protection Agency federal obligations in Colorado
Environmental Protection Agency shows $1,014,925,205.67 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Colorado, across 409 awards. Awarding-agency 068 and Colorado (CO) are the pair. 409 awards against $1,014,925,205.67 is a 409-award environmental file, thicker than New Jersey’s EPA join. The implied mean is about $2,481,479.72 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.
Key figures
- Environmental Protection Agency obligated $1,014,925,205.67 in Colorado across 409 awards (USAspending.gov).
- The pair is awarding-agency 068 × place-of-performance CO.
- Amounts are obligations, not outlays; no fiscal year is in this packet.
- The implied mean near $2,481,479.72 is $1,014,925,205.67 divided by 409, not a typical award.
- The join does not name contractors and does not measure mine-site counts, named basins, or inspection tallies.
Agency 068 meeting Colorado
Environmental Protection Agency as awarding agency, Colorado as place-of-performance: 409 records summing to $1,014,925,205.67. A Environmental Protection Agency award coded outside CO is out. An award in Colorado from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Colorado (CO) excludes Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas, and Nebraska. A Pueblo-coded award with a New Mexico place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
409 awards against $1,014,925,205.67 is a 409-award environmental file, thicker than New Jersey’s EPA join. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 409 as 409 unique mine-site counts, named basins, or inspection tallies. Environmental Protection Agency in Colorado is the both-keys table. Colorado federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Environmental Protection Agency is the agency book without an CO filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
CNCS, FCC, and EPA Colorado pages in this slice are different awarding-agency codes. Do not add them. Correlation is not causation: Colorado did not cause $1,014,925,205.67 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 068 × CO only.
Watershed folklore is unpublished
$1,014,925,205.67 does not measure mine-site counts, named basins, or inspection tallies. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 068 and an CO place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 409 awards as a census of mine-site counts, named basins, or inspection tallies. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Colorado federal spending or Environmental Protection Agency matched $1,014,925,205.67 and 409, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state EPA joins are other pairs, not addends.
Colorado, not a Front Range-only map
Place of performance CO is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Colorado (CO) excludes Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas, and Nebraska. A Pueblo-coded award with a New Mexico place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
This packet does not split $1,014,925,205.67 by city, county, or named facility. 409 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
Four hundred nine obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,014,925,205.67 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Colorado confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Colorado’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 409 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 $1,014,925,205.67. Sharing a geography with Environmental Protection Agency does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.
Citing EPA in Colorado
Cite USAspending.gov: Environmental Protection Agency (agency 068) obligated $1,014,925,205.67 on 409 awards coded to Colorado. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as mine-site counts, named basins, or inspection tallies.
Prefer Environmental Protection Agency in Colorado if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Colorado federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to CO. Environmental Protection Agency is the 068 parent without the CO filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,014,925,205.67.
A usable footnote names Environmental Protection Agency, Colorado, $1,014,925,205.67, and 409. The compact headline $1.01B is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2,481,479.72 is $1,014,925,205.67 divided by 409. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
Three Colorado ties in this slice, three awarding-agency codes
Colorado’s EPA overlay is 409 awards totaling $1,014,925,205.67 on agency 068. CNCS uses 485. FCC uses 027. Adding those three parents would invent a combined Colorado total the packet never computed. Mine-drainage folklore is unpublished.
