Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2023 and October 2025. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Combined Uranium (4 of them). EPA lists 7 as archived, 4 as resolved and 1 as unaddressed.
