What do the EPA sampling records for City of Hallandale Beach show?

The EPA records for City of Hallandale Beach (PWSID: FL4060573) show 1 health-based violation in the SDWIS compliance database and 13 PFAS compound detections above the minimum reporting level in EPA UCMR 5 monitoring data. Records on this page are sourced directly from EPA SDWIS and UCMR 5 datasets.

What does 'Detected above MRL' mean in PFAS records?

MRL stands for Minimum Reporting Level — the lowest concentration the testing equipment can reliably measure. 'Detected above MRL' means the analyte was found at a measurable concentration. Detection above MRL is not itself a regulatory violation. EPA has set Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for PFOA and PFOS at 4 ppt and for PFNA, PFHxS, and HFPO-DA at 10 ppt (April 2024 rule). Detections below those MCLs do not constitute a regulatory violation.

Does this mean Hallandale Beach's water is unsafe?

These records reflect what EPA compliance monitoring and UCMR 5 sampling returned. A detection above MRL does not by itself indicate the water is unsafe. A health-based violation in SDWIS means a contaminant exceeded its legal limit during the violation period — it does not necessarily mean current water is out of compliance. For current compliance status, consult City of Hallandale Beach's most recent Consumer Confidence Report or contact the utility directly.

How do I get an independent water test?

For independent verification, use a state-certified laboratory. Certified labs can test for PFAS (using EPA Method 533 or 537.1), lead, nitrates, bacteria, and dozens of other contaminants. Find certified labs in Florida at waterutilityreport.com/labs.

EPA compliance records for City of Hallandale Beach (PWSID: FL4060573) in Hallandale Beach, FL show 1 health-based violation recorded in EPA SDWIS, with 1 currently open and 9 PFAS compounds detected above the minimum reporting level in EPA UCMR 5 monitoring data (most recent sample: December 2023). UCMR 5 monitoring data shows PFOA, PFOS detected above the 2024 EPA MCL threshold in at least one sampling round. Note: the EPA PFAS rule compliance deadline is 2029 — detection above the MCL level in UCMR 5 monitoring is not a regulatory violation. All records on this page are sourced from EPA SDWIS and the UCMR 5 dataset. This is official monitoring data — not a health risk determination.

Health-Based Violation History

Source: EPA SDWIS (Safe Drinking Water Information System). A health-based violation means a contaminant exceeded the legal Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) or a required treatment technique was not met during the violation period. Resolved violations indicate the utility returned to compliance.

Official Water Sampling Events (EPA UCMR 5)

EPA UCMR 5 monitoring conducted 4 sampling events at City of Hallandale Beach. Each event tests water drawn from a designated sampling point for PFAS compounds. Source: EPA Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 5, 2023–2025.

Sample date	Sampling point	Compounds tested	Detected above MRL
December 2023	POE	25	9
July 2023	POE	4	None
June 2023	POE	25	4

PFAS Compounds Detected (EPA UCMR 5)

Source: EPA UCMR 5 (Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 5, 2023–2025). These are compounds detected above the minimum reporting level at a sampling point for this utility. A compound marked above MCL was detected at a concentration exceeding the EPA Maximum Contaminant Level finalized in April 2024.

PFOA, PFOS detected above the 2024 EPA MCL threshold in UCMR 5 monitoring

This is EPA UCMR 5 surveillance data — not a regulatory compliance finding. The EPA's April 2024 PFAS rule set MCLs for PFOA (4 ppt), PFOS (4 ppt), PFNA/PFHxS/HFPO-DA (10 ppt), but water systems have until April 2029 to achieve compliance. Detection above an MCL level in UCMR 5 monitoring does not constitute a violation under current regulations.

What this does not mean

—Violations do not indicate current non-compliance. A health-based violation that is marked resolved means the utility has returned to compliance per EPA records. Historic violations are shown for transparency, not to imply ongoing risk.
—PFAS detections above MRL are not themselves violations. UCMR 5 monitoring is a surveillance program. Detection does not mean the utility violated a regulation. The 2024 EPA PFAS rule (MCLs for PFOA, PFOS, etc.) has a compliance deadline of 2029.
—This page does not assess health risk. WaterUtilityReport.com presents official government records — we do not make health risk determinations, safety certifications, or compliance judgments. Consult a licensed water quality specialist or physician for health advice.
—Records may be incomplete. EPA SDWIS and UCMR 5 represent what was reported to the EPA. Not all utilities or contaminants are covered. Small systems (<10,000 people) may not have been required to participate in UCMR 5 monitoring.

Independent Verification
