Based on the published data of the WFD (EEA 2018), most reported substances caused a failure to achieve good chemical status in groundwater were pesticides. AMPA, MCPA and Glyphosate were mainly reported as substances listed under the RBSP causing failure to achieve good ecological status in surface waters. Among these, Glyphosate and its metabolite AMPA were reported only from one Member State. The priority substance Tributyltin, a biocide mainly used to combat marine biofouling, affected the most surface water bodies (some 700).

Are exceedances due to Tributyltin in groundwater or surface water? I am asking because the sentence is about surface water but the rest of the paragraph is about groundwater.
