What does “transient non-community water system” mean?
A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. Minnesota has 5,008 active transient non-community water systems, 77% of the state's 6,465 active systems. Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 37 Minnesota systems (0.6%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Woodenfrog State Campground?
EPA lists Woodenfrog State Campground as owned by a state government. The MN state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 11 of the 356 active systems in St. Louis County (3.1%) are also owned by a state government.
Does Woodenfrog State Campground have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2023. The violations listed here began between September 1996 and July 2023. By type: 5 required treatment not met, 4 monitoring and reporting, 2 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Surface Water Treatment Rule (7 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived and 3 as resolved. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status. 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.
