Environmental Protection Agency federal obligations in Connecticut

What the EPA–Connecticut join is

Environmental Protection Agency as awarding agency, Connecticut as place-of-performance: 173 records summing to $889,332,744.81. A Environmental Protection Agency award coded outside CT is out. An award in Connecticut from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Connecticut (CT) excludes New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. A Port Chester-coded award is New York even if the Sound story sounds similar.

One hundred seventy-three awards against $889,332,744.81 is a thin EPA book. The implied mean is large and is not a typical project size. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 173 as 173 unique Superfund sites, unique water systems, or a census of permits. The overlay Environmental Protection Agency in Connecticut is the both-keys table. Connecticut federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Environmental Protection Agency is the agency book without an CT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Hartford, New Haven, and Bridgeport share one CT stamp. EPA program offices can share awarding-agency 068 without a published program pie. Correlation is not causation: Connecticut did not cause $889,332,744.81 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 068 × CT only.

173 actions are not 173 Superfund sites

$889,332,744.81 does not measure Superfund sites, unique water systems, or a census of permits. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 068 and an CT place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 173 awards as a census of Superfund sites, unique water systems, or a census of permits. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Connecticut federal spending or Environmental Protection Agency matched $889,332,744.81 and 173, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighbor-state EPA joins are other pairs, not addends. Dividing $889,332,744.81 by 173 yields about $5,140,651.70 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical EPA line and not a published median.

Connecticut, not a Long Island Sound EPA rollup

Place of performance CT is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Connecticut (CT) excludes New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. A Port Chester-coded award is New York even if the Sound story sounds similar. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Hartford, New Haven, and Bridgeport share one CT stamp. This packet does not split $889,332,744.81 by city, county, or named facility. 173 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

A short EPA list, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $889,332,744.81 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Connecticut confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Connecticut's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 173-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 $889,332,744.81.

What this pair does not prove

A large EPA total in Connecticut does not mean the agency caused Connecticut's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Keep $889,332,744.81 labeled as agency 068 obligations with Connecticut place of performance. Neighbor EPA cells among New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island are separate joins. This page does not rank Connecticut as a winner or loser.

Recipient names are unpublished in this packet. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to explain $889,332,744.81. Place-of-performance CT can differ from a vendor mailroom. A Port Chester-coded award is New York even if the Sound story sounds similar. A later ingest can restate $889,332,744.81 and 173 without changing the join definition: awarding agency 068 crossed with Connecticut.

How to cite the Connecticut–EPA pair

Cite USAspending.gov: Environmental Protection Agency (agency 068) obligated $889,332,744.81 on 173 awards coded to Connecticut. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as Superfund sites, unique water systems, or a census of permits.

Prefer Environmental Protection Agency in Connecticut if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Connecticut federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to CT. Environmental Protection Agency is the 068 parent without the CT filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $889,332,744.81.

A usable footnote names Environmental Protection Agency, Connecticut, $889,332,744.81, and 173. The implied mean near $5,140,651.70 is $889,332,744.81 divided by 173. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset; they do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.
