By type: 4 reporting, 4 monitoring and 2 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (8 of them). EPA lists 4 as resolved, 3 as unaddressed and 3 as archived.

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.
