Book Description
GAO was asked to review the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) implementation of the drinking water program on the Navajo Indian Reservation. Water sampling and laboratory analysis practices used on the reservation were also reviewed. Because there is no overall plan or supervision by EPA, confusion and misunderstandings have resulted over the roles and responsibilities of water suppliers and organizations in carrying out the drinking water program. Poor records and inconsistent or nonexistent identification systems make it difficult to inventory and locate water sources. Few water suppliers maintain records and make reports as required by EPA. Consequently, EPA has little assurance that required activities, such as periodic sampling and analysis, customer notification of violations, and corrective action on violations, are performed and drinking water standards are met. Reservation sampling procedures have not been standardized and actual procedures used are often inconsistent with those recommended by authoritative sources. In addition, some large variances were found in analyses between and within laboratories that analyzed GAO samples. GAO found levels of radionuclide contamination in some wells to be in excess of allowable EPA levels.
