Does American Chrome & Chemicals Na Facility have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between October 2018 and October 2024. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 required treatment not met and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (4 of them).
