Does Usfs Silver Creek Campground have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in June 2014. The violations listed here began between November 1983 and June 2014. By type: 11 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved is Total coliform bacteria (TCR). EPA lists 11 as archived and 1 as resolved.
