Environmental Protection Agency federal obligations in the District of Columbia

EPA and the District in one cell

Seven hundred ninety-seven awards totaling $7,633,287,052.74 is a moderately concentrated capital-region cell: more rows than some EPA state joins with a few hundred awards, far fewer than assistance agencies with tens of thousands of records. The mean near $9.58 million follows from that ratio.

The join does not score air, water, or soil in the District. USAspending tags awards. Headquarters-adjacent geography can attract administrative and assistance awards without describing local environmental conditions.

Seven hundred ninety-seven District EPA awards totaling $7,633,287,052.74 will look like “headquarters spending” to many readers. Some rows may be administrative; some may not. The facts do not say. Maryland and Virginia EPA tags are excluded even when a program office manages work across the region. The 797-count follows DC geography only.

Awarding agency 068

The Environmental Protection Agency hub is nationwide. The District’s $7,633,287,052.74 is the DC geography slice. Awards coded to Maryland or Virginia stay off this page even when the same program office manages them.

Overlay /states/dc/agencies/068/ matches 797 awards. This copy does not allocate dollars to named EPA offices. Bureau splits are not in the facts.

District place of performance

DC as a tag often captures awards listed to the capital rather than every field site. $7,633,287,052.74 should be read as tagged to the District, not as a complete map of EPA work that happens to be discussed in Washington. The District of Columbia federal spending hub is the parent for all awarding agencies.

Place of performance is not the same as the location of a headquarters building, though the two can coincide on many rows.

District of Columbia federal spending is the parent that places EPA beside Homeland Security, SBA, State, and other agencies. $7,633,287,052.74 is 068 only. Adding those other District cells reconstructs neither a city budget nor an environmental outcome. The join is a filter, not a grade of the capital’s air or water.

Obligations on 797 awards

$7,633,287,052.74 is obligations, not outlays and not pollution reduced. No fiscal year is in the facts. Mean obligation of about $9.58 million is a quotient, not a typical assistance agreement.

The award count is a record count, not a count of Superfund sites or permits.

District EPA’s 797 awards under $7,633,287,052.74 are not a cleanliness ranking. Headquarters-adjacent tagging can inflate a capital cell without describing local environmental conditions. Maryland and Virginia EPA tags stay off this page. The mean near $9.58 million is a quotient, not pollution reduced. 797 is not a site count. $7,633,287,052.74 is 068 and DC only.

Caveats

A large EPA total in the District does not mean the capital is cleaner or dirtier than another city. Correlation is not causation, and this table is not a city ranking. Campaign contributions are not part of the join.

See Environmental Protection Agency in District of Columbia, District of Columbia federal spending, Environmental Protection Agency, and All spending ties.

Seven hundred ninety-seven EPA awards in the District totaling $7,633,287,052.74 can include headquarters-adjacent administrative rows. That possibility is not a bureau split. Maryland and Virginia EPA tags stay off this page. The District parent hub shows EPA beside other agencies without adding their dollars into this cell.

Capital EPA overlay and what it omits

Environmental Protection Agency in District of Columbia is the overlay. District of Columbia federal spending is all agencies. Environmental Protection Agency is agency 068 nationwide. All spending ties catalogs other pairs. Those four views separate “EPA tagged to DC” from “all EPA” and from “all District awards.”

The mean near $9.58 million is a quotient, not a typical assistance agreement and not pollution reduced. 797 is a record count, not a Superfund-site count. Headquarters geography is a coding pattern, not a cleanliness ranking of the capital. Obligations are not outlays. No year is in the facts. Campaign contributions are not part of the join.

Anyone citing $7,633,287,052.74 should keep agency 068 and District geography attached so the figure is not an environmental grade of the capital. The 797-award count is not a site count. Continue at the EPA overlay, the District hub, the national EPA profile, and the ties index. Maryland and Virginia EPA tags stay off this page. Outcomes are not in the obligation field.

Questions

How much has the EPA obligated in the District of Columbia?

USAspending records $7,633,287,052.74 in agency 068 obligations with DC place of performance, across 797 awards. That is an obligation aggregate, not outlays and not an environmental score.

Does this mean EPA headquarters spending?

Place of performance is DC, which can include headquarters-adjacent awards. The facts do not split headquarters from other instruments. $7,633,287,052.74 is the full pair total.

What is the average EPA award in DC?

About $9.58 million, from $7,633,287,052.74 divided by 797 awards. That mean is not a median.

Is the District’s environment better because of this total?

The table does not say. $7,633,287,052.74 is an obligation sum for agency 068 and DC. It is not an outcome metric and not a city ranking.
