Environmental Protection Agency federal obligations in Virginia
The Environmental Protection Agency shows $2,531,163,228.98 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Virginia, across 1,021 awards. Awarding-agency 068 and Virginia (VA) are the pair. One thousand twenty-one awards is a modest EPA book: thicker than a thin Energy handful, thinner than a HUD assistance flood. The implied mean is about $2.48 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

EPA awards tagged to Virginia
Environmental Protection Agency as awarding agency, Virginia as place-of-performance: 1,021 records summing to $2,531,163,228.98. An Environmental Protection Agency award coded outside VA is out. An award in Virginia from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Virginia (VA) excludes Maryland, the District of Columbia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. A District-coded award is DC.
One thousand twenty-one awards is a modest EPA book: thicker than a thin Energy handful, thinner than a HUD assistance flood. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,021 as 1,021 unique Superfund sites, inspections, or named facilities. The overlay Environmental Protection Agency in Virginia is the both-keys table. Virginia federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Environmental Protection Agency is the agency book without a VA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
This packet does not isolate a Chesapeake restoration earmark or a named plant. Unique recipients are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Virginia did not “cause” $2,531,163,228.98 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 068 × VA only.
Not a Superfund-site or inspection census
$2,531,163,228.98 does not measure Superfund sites, inspections, or named facilities. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 068 and a VA place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 1,021 awards as a census of Superfund sites, inspections, or named facilities. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Virginia federal spending or Environmental Protection Agency matched $2,531,163,228.98 and 1,021, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Maryland, District of Columbia, and North Carolina EPA joins are other pairs, not addends.
Virginia, not a Chesapeake rollup
Place of performance VA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Virginia (VA) excludes Maryland, the District of Columbia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. A District-coded award is DC. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
This packet does not isolate a Chesapeake restoration earmark or a named plant. Unique recipients are unpublished. This packet does not split $2,531,163,228.98 by city, county, or named facility. 1,021 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.
Modest EPA book, still obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $2,531,163,228.98 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Virginia confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Virginia’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,021-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 $2,531,163,228.98.
Citing EPA in Virginia
Cite USAspending.gov: Environmental Protection Agency (agency 068) obligated $2,531,163,228.98 on 1,021 awards coded to Virginia. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as Superfund sites, inspections, or named facilities.
Prefer Environmental Protection Agency in Virginia if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Virginia federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to VA. Environmental Protection Agency is the 068 parent without the VA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,531,163,228.98.
A usable footnote names Environmental Protection Agency, Virginia, $2,531,163,228.98, and 1,021. The compact headline $2.53 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2.48 million is $2,531,163,228.98 divided by 1,021. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
