Operators of the Tammah tent hotel on state land in Teton County have resolved a septic system violation, Wyoming water quality regulators said Friday, but the source of groundwater pollution remains a mystery. The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality said the development near Teton Village has corrected deficiencies outlined in an Oct. 29 violation order. High ammonia levels in a monitoring well led regulators to inspect a sand mound septic system for the resort’s 11 fabric-covered geodesic domes.
