Environmental Protection Agency federal obligations in North Carolina

EPA awards tagged to North Carolina

Environmental Protection Agency as awarding agency, North Carolina as place-of-performance: 719 records summing to $1,444,923,834.53. An Environmental Protection Agency award coded outside NC is out. An award in North Carolina from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. North Carolina (NC) excludes South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia. A South Carolina-coded EPA award is not this cell.

Seven hundred nineteen awards against $1,444,923,834.53 is a mid-thin EPA file, thicker than Illinois EPA’s 583 rows on a similar dollar scale. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 719 as 719 unique Superfund sites, unique permits, or water-quality scores. Environmental Protection Agency in North Carolina is the both-keys table. North Carolina federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Environmental Protection Agency is the agency book without an NC filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Research Triangle lab folklore is unpublished. This NC EPA join is not the NC Labor or NC FCC cells in this slice. Correlation is not causation: North Carolina did not cause $1,444,923,834.53 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 068 × NC only. Campaign contributions do not fund these USAspending awards.

719 rows are not 719 permits

$1,444,923,834.53 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 NC place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 719 awards as a census of Superfund sites, unique permits, or water-quality scores. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If North Carolina federal spending or Environmental Protection Agency matched $1,444,923,834.53 and 719, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. South Carolina, Virginia, and the Mississippi EPA join in this slice are other pairs, not addends.

North Carolina, not a Carolinas EPA rollup

Place of performance NC is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. North Carolina (NC) excludes South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia. A South Carolina-coded EPA award is not this cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Research Triangle lab folklore is unpublished. This NC EPA join is not the NC Labor or NC FCC cells in this slice. This packet does not split $1,444,923,834.53 by city, county, or named facility. 719 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Assistance vehicles still record obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,444,923,834.53 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in North Carolina confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

North Carolina’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 719-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 $1,444,923,834.53. The compact headline $1.44 billion is that same dollar total rounded, not a second extract.

Citing EPA in North Carolina

Cite USAspending.gov: Environmental Protection Agency (agency 068) obligated $1,444,923,834.53 on 719 awards coded to North Carolina. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as Superfund sites, unique permits, or water-quality scores.

Prefer Environmental Protection Agency in North Carolina if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. North Carolina federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NC. Environmental Protection Agency is the 068 parent without the NC filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,444,923,834.53. The implied mean near $2.01 million is $1,444,923,834.53 divided by 719. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
