Does S F Scout Ranch have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in September 2025. The violations listed here began between December 2023 and September 2025. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 8 as archived and 4 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.
