Environmental Protection Agency federal obligations in Illinois

EPA awards tagged to Illinois

Environmental Protection Agency as awarding agency, Illinois as place-of-performance: 583 records summing to $1,494,073,471.34. An Environmental Protection Agency award coded outside IL is out. An award in Illinois from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Illinois (IL) excludes Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, and Kentucky. A Gary-coded EPA award is Indiana.

Five hundred eighty-three awards against $1,494,073,471.34 is a mid-thin EPA file, thicker than New York EPA’s 409 rows and a smaller dollar book. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 583 as 583 unique Superfund sites, unique permits, or water-quality scores. Environmental Protection Agency in Illinois is the both-keys table. Illinois federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Environmental Protection Agency is the agency book without an IL filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This Illinois EPA join is not the Illinois PBGC cell (agency 1602). Keep 068 and 1602 apart. Region 5 folklore is unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Illinois did not cause $1,494,073,471.34 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 068 × IL only. Campaign contributions do not fund these USAspending awards.

Not Superfund sites or a Great Lakes score

$1,494,073,471.34 does not measure Superfund sites, unique permits, or water-quality scores. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 068 and an IL place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 583 awards as a census of Superfund sites, unique permits, or water-quality scores. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Illinois federal spending or Environmental Protection Agency matched $1,494,073,471.34 and 583, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Indiana, Wisconsin, and the North Carolina EPA join in this slice are other pairs, not addends.

Illinois statewide, not a Chicago-only extract

Place of performance IL is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Illinois (IL) excludes Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, and Kentucky. A Gary-coded EPA award is Indiana. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This Illinois EPA join is not the Illinois PBGC cell (agency 1602). Keep 068 and 1602 apart. Region 5 folklore is unpublished. This packet does not split $1,494,073,471.34 by city, county, or named facility. 583 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Cleanup and grant stock versus cash already paid

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,494,073,471.34 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Illinois confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Illinois’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 583-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 $1,494,073,471.34. The compact headline $1.49 billion is that same dollar total rounded, not a second extract.

Citing EPA in Illinois

Cite USAspending.gov: Environmental Protection Agency (agency 068) obligated $1,494,073,471.34 on 583 awards coded to Illinois. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as Superfund sites, unique permits, or water-quality scores.

Prefer Environmental Protection Agency in Illinois if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Illinois federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to IL. Environmental Protection Agency is the 068 parent without the IL filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,494,073,471.34. The implied mean near $2.56 million is $1,494,073,471.34 divided by 583. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
