By type: 10 monitoring and 2 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (10 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.
