The verdict
Moran State Park-Cascade Lake is in the lower third by violation count (19; 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 (4,783; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 5% (middle-third health share (≤ 23%)). No UCMR5 PFAS test appears for this system in this extract.
