Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2010. The violations listed here began between July 2005 and July 2010. By type: 5 contaminant level above the legal limit, 5 monitoring and reporting and 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Combined Uranium (5 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.
