Bacon Island North Pond
Bacon Island North Pond in San Joaquin County, California is not rated for water quality — its monitoring record does not meet the evidence bar. Chlorophyll-a (algae): 258.2 µg/L.
Why Bacon Island North Pond has no grade
We grade a lake only when its monitoring record clears the evidence bar: at least three phosphorus or chlorophyll-a samples in the last ten years, scored against EPA National Lakes Assessment thresholds for this lake’s ecoregion. For Bacon Island North Pond, no nutrient or algae measurement meets the evidence bar (at least 3 samples within 10 years). Sampling here has recorded algae (chlorophyll-a), but not water clarity and phosphorus.
Not Rated is not an F. It is EPA Integrated Reporting Category 3 — insufficient information. The water here may be excellent or poor; nobody has measured enough of it to say. Everything below that has been measured is still reported on this page.
Sampling is run by your state environmental agency and volunteer programs, and published through the EPA Water Quality Portal. Read the full grading methodology.
