The verdict

Nevada Gold Mines Carlin North Area Lch lands in the middle third by violation volume (36), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers.

Health-based share is 56% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. No UCMR5 PFAS test appears for this system in this extract.
