How does Eastman Specialties Corporation compare with other water systems in Kent County?
By EPA's size categories, Eastman Specialties Corporation is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Kent County has 4 active public water systems, and Eastman Specialties Corporation is the 4th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is well below the county average of 159 people per system, and accounts for 6.9% of the 634 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Tennessee, the 1,383 active systems average 5,780 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Eastman Specialties Corporation is well below that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Tennessee has 42 active non-transient non-community water systems, 3% of the state's 1,383 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,038 Tennessee systems (75%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Eastman Specialties Corporation?
EPA lists Eastman Specialties Corporation as privately owned. The MD state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 4 of the 4 active systems in Kent County (100%) are also privately owned.
Does Eastman Specialties Corporation have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between April 1994 and October 2024. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 required treatment not met, 1 reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 11 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.
