Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2005. The violations listed here began between January 2001 and July 2005. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting and 3 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate (7 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.
