By type: 8 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 3 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (8 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 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.
