Where the money actually goes — grants to states, then remediation.
The whole Environmental Protection Agency (USAspending toptier agency 068) as recorded in the public spending feed: budgetary resources and obligations by fiscal year, and the largest contract awards. Unlike a procurement-heavy department, most of EPA's obligations flow out as grants and State Revolving Fund pass-throughs to states and Tribes — so contracts are a minority of the money, and the ones that surface are remediation (Superfund/CERCLA), laboratory, and IT work.
Data currency
EPA publishes contract-award detail without the Department of War's 90-day OPSEC withholding. Normal USAspending reporting lag still applies, so the contracts table is shown for the latest fully-loaded fiscal year; the in-progress fiscal year is partial and would understate.

Obligations over time
Total agency obligations by fiscal year. The current fiscal year is partial. The FY2024 bulge is the IIJA/IRA infrastructure funding flowing through the State Revolving Funds — the same one-time surge the history arc shows.
Largest contract awards
Ranked by total obligated amount on the award. For multiyear and IDIQ vehicles this accumulates across option years — a measure of award size, not single-year spend. These are the procurement slice only; the grant and State Revolving Fund pass-throughs that make up most of EPA's money are not contracts and do not appear here.
