Greene County Lake Quality
Missouri, 3 lakes, average grade C (Fair)
Only 3 lakes in Greene County carry an active grade. The county-level summary is therefore representative of those specific lakes, not necessarily of every water body in the county. Greene County averages to a C. The distribution behind that average matters more than the letter: a few stressed lakes versus many decent ones can produce the same average as the inverse.
The county's lakes lean shallow, which makes the grades sensitive to wind, sediment-resuspension, and any nutrient inputs from the watershed. The cleanest lake on the books is Fellows Lake (B); the most-stressed is Lake Springfield (D).
