Does Card Campground Area have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2023. The violations listed here began between May 1994 and July 2023. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 3 monitoring, 1 reporting and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 8 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.
