Does North Coast Wine Co. have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 7 are health-based, and the most recent began in February 2016. The violations listed here began between July 1996 and February 2016. By type: 7 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 monitoring and reporting and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (10 of them). EPA lists 7 as archived, 3 as resolved and 1 as addressed. 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. 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. Addressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is covered by formal enforcement.
