Environmental Protection Agency federal obligations in West Virginia
Environmental Protection Agency shows $581,152,254.98 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to West Virginia, across 151 awards. Awarding-agency 068 and West Virginia (WV) are the pair. 151 awards against $581,152,254.98 is a 151-award environmental file, thin on rows against a large dollar total. The implied mean is about $3,848,690.43 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Agency 068 meeting West Virginia
Environmental Protection Agency as awarding agency, West Virginia as place-of-performance: 151 records summing to $581,152,254.98. A Environmental Protection Agency award coded outside WV is out. An award in West Virginia from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. West Virginia (WV) excludes Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, and Maryland. A Charleston-coded award with a Pennsylvania place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
151 awards against $581,152,254.98 is a 151-award environmental file, thin on rows against a large dollar total. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 151 as 151 unique Superfund site counts, inspection tallies, or named facilities. Environmental Protection Agency in West Virginia is the both-keys table. West Virginia federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Environmental Protection Agency is the agency book without an WV filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Mine-land and river folklore is unpublished. Do not invent named facilities in Charleston, Huntington, or Morgantown. Unique recipients stay unpublished on this 068 × WV join. Correlation is not causation: West Virginia did not cause $581,152,254.98 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 068 × WV only.
Cleanup folklore is not a packet field
$581,152,254.98 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 WV place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 151 awards as a census of Superfund site counts, inspection tallies, or named facilities. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If West Virginia federal spending or Environmental Protection Agency matched $581,152,254.98 and 151, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state EPA joins are other pairs, not addends.
West Virginia, not a Charleston-only map
Place of performance WV is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. West Virginia (WV) excludes Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, and Maryland. A Charleston-coded award with a Pennsylvania place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
This packet does not split $581,152,254.98 by city, county, or named facility. 151 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
One hundred fifty-one EPA obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $581,152,254.98 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in West Virginia confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
West Virginia’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 151 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 $581,152,254.98. Sharing a geography with Environmental Protection Agency does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.
Citing EPA in West Virginia
Cite USAspending.gov: Environmental Protection Agency (agency 068) obligated $581,152,254.98 on 151 awards coded to West Virginia. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as Superfund site counts, inspection tallies, or named facilities.
Prefer Environmental Protection Agency in West Virginia if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. West Virginia federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to WV. Environmental Protection Agency is the 068 parent without the WV filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $581,152,254.98.
A usable footnote names Environmental Protection Agency, West Virginia, $581,152,254.98, and 151. The compact headline $581.2M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $3,848,690.43 is $581,152,254.98 divided by 151. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
