The verdict
Goose Creek City of (Sc0810004) is in the lower third by violation count (18; lower-third violation load (≤ 21 violations)). A low count does not mean the system is unmonitored - monitoring and reporting violations still appear in SDWIS. Population served is large (40,628; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is only 0% - almost all of this trail is monitoring or reporting. UCMR5 detected 5 PFAS compounds (upper-third PFAS panel (> 4 compounds)).
