  "definition": "1. The environmental burden indicator for drinking water non-compliance highlights populations served by community water systems that have challenges complying with Safe Drinking Water Act (https://www.epa.gov/sdwa) requirements. Points are calculated using a modified version of EPA's Enforcement Targeting Tool (https://www.epa.gov/tribaldrinkingwater/drinking-water-enforcement-response-policy-and-enforcement-targeting-tool) criteria, which accounts for violation severity and age. EJScreen presents drinking water non-compliance using percentile rank, ranging from 0 (lowest) to 100 (highest).\n\n2.
