What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Alaska has 227 active non-transient non-community water systems, 17% of the state's 1,322 active systems. Groundwater under the influence of surface water is well or spring water that the regulator has found to be affected by nearby surface water, so it is regulated under the surface-water treatment rules. 28 Alaska systems (2.1%) list groundwater under influence of surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Teck Red Dog Port Facility?
EPA lists Teck Red Dog Port Facility as privately owned. The AK state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 4 of the 16 active systems in Northwest Arctic Borough County (25%) are also privately owned.
Does Teck Red Dog Port Facility have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2004. The violations listed here began between September 2000 and July 2004. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Chlorine (2 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
