This is an unofficial copy of EPA data, hosted by the Public Environmental Data Partners. Some links and text may incorrectly suggest that this site is affiliated with the US Government.

Below is how the data are described in their original source here:

These data depict the primary place of performance only for select EPA projects and highlights a subset of all investments made under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act. Both primary and sub-award information is included; however, funding amounts are not displayed for sub-awards / projects. Locations indicated here are determined using a variety of methods and may not correspond precisely to an exact, physical location. This map is not comprehensive and will be updated periodically as additional information becomes available including sub-award grant data. 

Data Caveats

1. The points on the map are an approximation of the place of performance and do not represent the full extent of where, e.g., clean school buses will be operating and where emissions benefits from these projects will accrue.  In fact, in accordance with OMB reporting requirements, grants which are associated with multiple places of performance are represented in this map by the primary place of performance as indicated by the EPA grant project officer.
2. This data visualization does not include information about regularly appropriated EPA program dollars, only EPA Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act funding.
3. In the case of EPA’s Office of Air & Radiation grants, it is important to note cases where the dot on the map is just an approximation: (a) Where one grant is funding the purchase of multiple vehicles, operating in multiple locations, the one dot must represent dozens of actual places of performance. For example, under the Clean School Bus program, if a third-party applicant includes 10 school districts, each funding 2 buses, the dot associated with that participant may actually represent ten distinct places of performance. (b) Similarly, for the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA), a single grant, represented by a single dot on the map could fund one crane at an airport and five heavy-duty buses, each operating in multiple counties.  (c) Additionally, the dot on the map sometimes represents the address of the grantee instead of the place of performance or where the vehicles will be operating. 

Data Source Information

Apart from a few programs, these data are updated daily in accordance with new award information entered into EPA's NextGen Grants Systems (NGGS). Superfund, Clean School Bus, and a few other programs have their data sourced directly from the programs on a less than daily basis.

With regards to point feature placement on the map, the NGGS system offers a robust interface allowing the project officer to map the place of performance by political boundary or natural feature (such as watershed). If a grant is having benefit over multiple places of performance, a project officer must choose a primary one and for that one the centroid is used to place the point on the map. In some cases, this centroid is a fair approximation of the place of benefit but in other cases, such as with grants addressing air quality, it can largely under-represent the actual benefited areas.
