The verdict

Ocean Lakes Ltd (Sc2660048) sits in the upper third of the sitemap cohort by violation count (84), so the tables below sample a dense compliance trail rather than a near-clean ledger. Population served is large (10,727; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 76% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. UCMR5 detected 3 PFAS compounds (middle-third PFAS panel (≤ 4 compounds)).
