Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in April 2014. The violations listed here began between January 1988 and April 2014. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (2 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.
