How this grade was calculated
This system received a grade of B because PFAS were detected (worst compound: PFBA) but all detected levels remain below 50% of the EPA Maximum Contaminant Level.
| Grade | Criteria |
|---|---|
| A | No PFAS detected above the Minimum Reporting Level |
| B | PFAS detected, all below 50% of the EPA MCL |
| C | Worst compound between 50% and 100% of EPA MCL |
| D | At least one compound exceeds the EPA MCL (up to 5×) |
| F | At least one compound exceeds 5× the EPA MCL |
