Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in August 2025. The violations listed here began between November 2022 and August 2025. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 3 required treatment not met and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Groundwater Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 6 as unaddressed, 3 as archived and 3 as resolved. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
