BUFFALO SHOALS PARK is one of 4,942 community water systems in North Carolina in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 97 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 20 entries between 1980 and 1991, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1991.
All 20 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves inorganic chemicals and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
