Full Fund Composition
Where all money came from and where it went over 4.5 years. Over half of expenditures are statutory transfers out — not cleanup costs.
Revenue Sources · $347.2M Total
Expenditures · $303.9M Total
⚠ Key Finding: Statutory transfers OUT ($156M) dwarf actual cleanup awards ($68M) — 2.3× as much money leaves the fund through transfers as is spent on remediation.
This strengthens the case that proposed RFIP transfers ($12M total) represent a small, finite, and manageable draw on a fund that routinely handles larger outflows.
