The verdict
Emma Long Metro Park sits in the upper third of the sitemap cohort by violation count (92), so the tables below sample a dense compliance trail rather than a near-clean ledger.

Health-based share is 39% - most of this ledger is MCL or treatment-technique exceedance. No UCMR5 PFAS test appears for this system in this extract.
