Does Deer Springs Ranch Lower Cabins have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in August 2023. The violations listed here began between August 2009 and August 2023. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 2 required treatment not met, 1 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate (4 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.
