Does Dolly Copp Campground have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in November 2023. The violations listed here began between April 1997 and November 2023. By type: 4 contaminant level above the legal limit, 3 monitoring and reporting, 2 reporting, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (5 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 1 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. 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.
