Does Cranberry Lake Campground have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2011. The violations listed here began between January 1993 and October 2011. By type: 9 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminants or rules involved are Total coliform bacteria (TCR) and Nitrate. EPA lists 9 as resolved and 2 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.
