Does Usfs Wilderness Gateway Campground have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2021. The violations listed here began between April 1998 and April 2021. By type: 4 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them).
