Union County Lake Quality
Pennsylvania, 1 lake, measured by PA DEP
Union County holds 1 monitored lake. With a sample that small the county-level summary describes those specific waters, not necessarily every water body in the county. The 1 monitored lake in Union County carries whatever clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a readings PA DEP has published, shown as reported.
Most of the county's monitored lakes are shallow, under 50 feet, which means wind keeps the water column mixed all summer and sediment-bound phosphorus releases back into the surface layer whenever the bottom is disturbed.
