EPA federal obligations in Maryland 1st District (MD-01)

A place-of-performance join: EPA × MD-01

Awarding agency 068 and congressional district MD-01 meet here. $515,230,536.61 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Environmental Protection Agency's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Maryland 1st District (MD-01), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split EPA programs or contract versus assistance instruments. 49 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a Superfund site list, a permit census, or a named-grantee file.

Dividing $515,230,536.61 by 49 yields about $10,514,908.91 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 49 awards is a thin EPA file with a large implied mean. Do not invent facilities or contractors; the packet does not name them. Do not treat MD-01's 068 cell as a synonym for every EPA account nationwide. Open Maryland 1st District for the district table without this agency filter, Environmental Protection Agency for agency 068 without a MD-01 filter, Maryland federal spending for every awarding agency in the Maryland extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $515,230,536.61.

Environmental Protection Agency as awarding agency, not as a named-vendor list

USAspending labels awarding agency 068 as Environmental Protection Agency. That code produced $515,230,536.61 when crossed with Maryland 1st District (MD-01) place of performance. The agency-wide 068 hub does not require MD-01 geography. The district hub does not require EPA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 49 awards. The packet does not split EPA programs or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Maryland 1st District (MD-01) did not cause $515,230,536.61 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 068 × MD-01 only. This cell is not a Superfund site list, a permit census, or a named-grantee file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Place of performance for Maryland 1st District (MD-01)

Maryland 1st District (MD-01) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list MD-01 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Maryland districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 068. Maryland 1st District (MD-01) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Maryland. Other Maryland districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 068. Maryland 1st District (MD-01) is distinct from other Maryland districts. Same state, different awarding-agency codes, different dollar totals.

Obligation math for this join

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $515,230,536.61 is that kind of sum for Environmental Protection Agency inside MD-01 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $515,230,536.61 as given.

Maryland's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 49-row EPA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 49 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($10,514,908.91) is a concentration statistic, not a typical MD-01 EPA payment.

Name Environmental Protection Agency and Maryland 1st District (MD-01) together. Keep the obligation word. If Maryland 1st District or Environmental Protection Agency has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a Superfund site list, a permit census, or a named-grantee file. 2.7% of $18,793,237,545.99 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Using 2.7% and $10,514,908.91 without overclaiming

49 awards is a thin EPA file with a large implied mean. Do not invent facilities or contractors; the packet does not name them. A neighboring Maryland district can carry a Commerce cell on agency 013. Mixing 013 and 068 inside MD-01 would leave this packet. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $10,514,908.91) and the district share (2.7% of $18,793,237,545.99) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Maryland 1st District and Environmental Protection Agency if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Maryland 1st District (MD-01) as more EPA-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 068 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 068 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $515,230,536.61 and 49 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much EPA spending is coded to Maryland 1st District (MD-01)?

USAspending.gov lists $515,230,536.61 in Environmental Protection Agency obligations across 49 awards with place of performance in Maryland 1st District (MD-01). Agency 068 × MD-01 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Maryland's complete federal ledger. The cell is 2.7% of the district's published total ($18,793,237,545.99). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $10,514,908.91, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $515,230,536.61 include every EPA program in MD-01?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split EPA programs or contract versus assistance instruments. $515,230,536.61 is the combined obligation sum for agency 068 inside MD-01 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Environmental Protection Agency and Maryland 1st District to inspect parent tables. 49 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $515,230,536.61 cash already paid in Maryland 1st District (MD-01)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $515,230,536.61 as checks already cleared in Maryland 1st District (MD-01) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 49 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Is Maryland 1st District (MD-01) ranked against other Maryland districts here?
