Environmental Protection Agency federal obligations in Wisconsin

EPA awards tagged to Wisconsin

Environmental Protection Agency as awarding agency, Wisconsin as place-of-performance: 256 records summing to $864,216,290.05. A Environmental Protection Agency award coded outside WI is out. An award in Wisconsin from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Wisconsin (WI) excludes Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, and Iowa. A Duluth-coded award is Minnesota even if the lake story sounds similar.

Two hundred fifty-six awards sit behind $864,216,290.05. That row count can mix large instruments with smaller modifications. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 256 as 256 unique Superfund sites, unique water systems, or a census of permits. The overlay Environmental Protection Agency in Wisconsin is the both-keys table. Wisconsin federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Environmental Protection Agency is the agency book without an WI filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay share one WI stamp. EPA program offices can share awarding-agency 068 without a published program pie. Correlation is not causation: Wisconsin did not cause $864,216,290.05 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 068 × WI only.

256 rows are not 256 Superfund sites

$864,216,290.05 does not measure Superfund sites, unique water systems, or a census of permits. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 068 and an WI place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 256 awards as a census of Superfund sites, unique water systems, or a census of permits. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Wisconsin federal spending or Environmental Protection Agency matched $864,216,290.05 and 256, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighbor-state EPA joins are other pairs, not addends. Dividing $864,216,290.05 by 256 yields about $3,375,844.88 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical EPA line and not a published median.

Wisconsin, not a Great Lakes EPA rollup

Place of performance WI is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Wisconsin (WI) excludes Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, and Iowa. A Duluth-coded award is Minnesota even if the lake story sounds similar. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay share one WI stamp. This packet does not split $864,216,290.05 by city, county, or named facility. 256 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

A modest EPA file, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $864,216,290.05 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Wisconsin confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Wisconsin's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 256-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 $864,216,290.05.

What this pair does not prove

A large EPA total in Wisconsin does not mean the agency caused Wisconsin's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Keep $864,216,290.05 labeled as agency 068 obligations with Wisconsin place of performance. Neighbor EPA cells among Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, and Iowa are separate joins. This page does not rank Wisconsin as a winner or loser.

Recipient names are unpublished in this packet. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to explain $864,216,290.05. Place-of-performance WI can differ from a vendor mailroom. A Duluth-coded award is Minnesota even if the lake story sounds similar. A later ingest can restate $864,216,290.05 and 256 without changing the join definition: awarding agency 068 crossed with Wisconsin.

Citing EPA in Wisconsin

Cite USAspending.gov: Environmental Protection Agency (agency 068) obligated $864,216,290.05 on 256 awards coded to Wisconsin. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as Superfund sites, unique water systems, or a census of permits.

Prefer Environmental Protection Agency in Wisconsin if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Wisconsin federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to WI. Environmental Protection Agency is the 068 parent without the WI filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $864,216,290.05.

A usable footnote names Environmental Protection Agency, Wisconsin, $864,216,290.05, and 256. The implied mean near $3,375,844.88 is $864,216,290.05 divided by 256. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset; they do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much has the Environmental Protection Agency obligated in Wisconsin?

USAspending.gov records $864,216,290.05 across 256 awards with awarding agency 068 and a Wisconsin tag.

Is $864,216,290.05 a measure of Superfund sites?

Is this a Milwaukee-only EPA total?

No. $864,216,290.05 and 256 awards are statewide Wisconsin place of performance. Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay share one WI stamp. This packet does not publish a city split. A regional cut would be a different extract. Original filings remain on the source sites.

Where is the live EPA–Wisconsin table?
