You can now explore how EPA is administering around the nation the $7.22 billion it received under the Recovery Act. This money includes:
$4 billion for assistance to help communities with water quality and wastewater infrastructure needs and $2 billion for drinking water infrastructure needs (Water State Revolving Fund programs and Water Quality Planning program);
$100 million for competitive grants to evaluate and clean up former industrial and commercial sites (Brownfields program);
$300 million for grants and loans to help regional, state and local governments, tribal agencies, and non-profit organizations with projects that reduce diesel emissions (Clean Diesel programs);
$600 million for the cleanup of hazardous sites (Superfund program); and
$200 million for cleanup of petroleum leaks from underground storage tanks (Leaking Underground Storage Tank Fund program).
Learn more about this work through an interactive map. Right now, this map map shows at national and state levels:
EPA total obligations -- the amount of Recovery Act funding EPA will provide each state, and
EPA gross outlays -- the amount of Recovery Act funding states have received from EPA to date.
In the future, the map will link to project-by-project information. (Note that when you click on this link, a pop-up box will appear; if you don't see the map, it may be because you have a pop-up blocker enabled.)
How to Use the Map
At top right, clicking on the
EPA Recovery Act Total Obligations and Gross Outlays link provides information at a national level by Budget Account
Map Legend link shows the level of overall EPA total obligations to each state (more populous states tend to receive more funding)
Satellite and Street Map links changes the view from terrain to streets; the blue state-by-state overlay remains in both views
Moving the triangle on the horizontal bar at upper left allows you to zoom in and out.
Clicking on a state provides a small box that shows the overall level of Recovery Act investment by the EPA in that state. Each small box links in turn via a "More Information" button to a larger box that presents a more complete investment report for that state, with breakdowns of funds by Budget Account.
As more detailed information becomes available in the future, we hope to expand the capabilities of this map to provide more detailed information on local and neighborhood level Recovery Act projects, and to illustrate how these expenditures are meeting our goals of protecting and promoting “green” jobs and a healthier environment.If there is an Area footer, put it here.
