Environmental Protection Agency federal obligations in South Carolina

Agency 068 meeting South Carolina

Environmental Protection Agency as awarding agency, South Carolina as place-of-performance: 132 records summing to $605,003,908.51. A Environmental Protection Agency award coded outside SC is out. An award in South Carolina from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. South Carolina (SC) excludes North Carolina and Georgia. A Columbia-coded award with a North Carolina place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

132 awards against $605,003,908.51 is a 132-award environmental file, close in dollars to South Carolina Labor, a different awarding agency. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 132 as 132 unique Superfund site counts, inspection tallies, or named facilities. Environmental Protection Agency in South Carolina is the both-keys table. South Carolina federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Environmental Protection Agency is the agency book without an SC filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This is awarding-agency 068, not Labor 1601 in the same state. Mixing those South Carolina overlays invents a combined total. Named rivers stay unpublished. Correlation is not causation: South Carolina did not cause $605,003,908.51 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 068 × SC only.

Cleanup folklore is not a packet field

$605,003,908.51 does not measure Superfund site counts, inspection tallies, or named facilities. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 068 and an SC place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 132 awards as a census of Superfund site counts, inspection tallies, or named facilities. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If South Carolina federal spending or Environmental Protection Agency matched $605,003,908.51 and 132, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state EPA joins are other pairs, not addends.

South Carolina, not a Charleston-only map

Place of performance SC is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. South Carolina (SC) excludes North Carolina and Georgia. A Columbia-coded award with a North Carolina place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $605,003,908.51 by city, county, or named facility. 132 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

One hundred thirty-two EPA obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $605,003,908.51 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in South Carolina confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

South Carolina’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 132 awards 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 $605,003,908.51. Sharing a geography with Environmental Protection Agency does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing EPA in South Carolina

Cite USAspending.gov: Environmental Protection Agency (agency 068) obligated $605,003,908.51 on 132 awards coded to South Carolina. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as Superfund site counts, inspection tallies, or named facilities.

Prefer Environmental Protection Agency in South Carolina if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. South Carolina federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to SC. Environmental Protection Agency is the 068 parent without the SC filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $605,003,908.51.

A usable footnote names Environmental Protection Agency, South Carolina, $605,003,908.51, and 132. The compact headline $605.0M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $4,583,362.94 is $605,003,908.51 divided by 132. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
