This document is a sanitary survey report from the Western Upper Peninsula Health Department for the McLain State Park Concession Building water supply system. The survey, conducted under the Michigan Safe Drinking Water Act, assessed the water system's compliance with construction, isolation, and operation standards. The report identifies several non-compliance issues, primarily that the pressure tank is buried near the well casing, which creates potential contamination risks and violates DEQ Public Act and Governing Campgrounds Rule 9, which requires an above-grade room housing pumping equipment by December 8, 2005.

The report outlines specific water quality testing requirements, including coliform bacteria and nitrate sampling protocols. Water quality tests from June 26, 2020, and October 1, 2019, indicated compliance with state drinking water standards for coliform bacteria and nitrate parameters. The sampling requirements include collecting two safe bacteriological water samples prior to spring opening, quarterly samples during operation, and one annual nitrate sample. The Water Supply Serial Number (WSSN) for the McLain State Park Concessions is 2006031, which must be recorded on all water sample forms.
