EPA federal obligations in Maine

One USAspending cell: Environmental Protection Agency and Maine

This page is a join: Environmental Protection Agency as awarding agency 068, Maine as place of performance. The published cell is $327,578,656.24. That number does not describe every EPA bureau account in the country, and it does not describe every federal award in Maine. Air-quality, water, and cleanup-program folklore is a reader path, not a column in this extract.

The award count is 166 — a mid-size award list. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-recipient census and not a census of unique facilities or grantees. Names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

Instruments behind 166 rows

About $1,973,365.40 per award is $327,578,656.24 ÷ 166. High means often mark a few large instruments; low means often mark many small rows. This packet publishes neither a breakdown by award type nor a list of unique facilities or grantees. Air-quality, water, and cleanup-program folklore remains outside the numeric fields.

Air-quality, water, and cleanup-program folklore may explain a click. It does not add dollars, awards, or unique facilities or grantees to the extract. Keep the published pair at $327,578,656.24 and 166.

Neighbor-coded work is excluded

Environmental Protection Agency is Environmental Protection Agency without a state filter. Maine federal spending is Maine without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide EPA book as if it were Maine's $327,578,656.24 cell is a misread of the join.

No metro split of Portland, Augusta, and Bangor is published here. Awards coded to New Hampshire or Massachusetts are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Portland.

De-obligations are not in this packet

$327,578,656.24 records commitments tagged to Environmental Protection Agency and Maine. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.

166 actions can include modifications that change a prior obligation. That is why a record count is not a unique-project census. Use Environmental Protection Agency in Maine for the live table.

No contractor roster in this packet

The join is descriptive. $327,578,656.24 does not prove that Maine received too much or too little EPA money, and it does not prove that EPA activity caused local outcomes. No performance metric is in the packet.

Campaign-finance filings do not fund this USAspending cell. Environmental Protection Agency obligations in Maine and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them.

Where Environmental Protection Agency in Maine sits among other ties

Cite both sides: Environmental Protection Agency (agency 068) and Maine. Then cite $327,578,656.24 and 166. Then cite USAspending.gov. Skip metro folklore about Portland, Augusta, and Bangor. Skip invented unique facilities or grantees.

All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $327,578,656.24. Environmental Protection Agency in Maine remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Maine is statewide; it does not split Portland, Augusta, and Bangor. Neighbor-coded activity in New Hampshire or Massachusetts stays out even if mail is handled in Portland. Correlation is not causation. Air-quality, water, and cleanup-program folklore can be a legitimate research question on another page. Here it is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Downeast, river-mill, and north-woods folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 068 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national EPA budget on this page. Maine's $327,578,656.24 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from Environmental Protection Agency and call the difference 'Maine versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. Environmental Protection Agency is the awarding-agency label stored on the Maine overlay; the numeric key is 068. Readers who only remember the short name EPA still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $327,578,656.24. The 166 figure is not a count of unique facilities or grantees and is not a count of distinct EPA programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $1,973,365.40 is not a typical cleanup or water-quality award. Downeast folklore is unused as math. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/me/agencies/068/ and canonicalPath /ties/environmental-protection-agency-in-maine/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $327,578,656.24 or 166, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $327,578,656.24, 166 awards, agency 068, Environmental Protection Agency, Maine (ME), and the obligation unit.
