Does Broken Wheel Campground have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in August 2023. The violations listed here began between October 2015 and August 2023. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 2 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate (5 of them). EPA lists 7 as archived, 4 as resolved and 1 as unaddressed. 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.

Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
