Why Batteese Lake has no grade
Batteese Lake has monitoring on record from one station, but only water clarity was measured. LakeQuality’s A–F letter uses total phosphorus, total nitrogen, chlorophyll-a, and turbidity against EPA National Lakes Assessment condition classes. With none of those grading measurements on record, Batteese Lake is Not Rated — not an F. Its 2.8-foot median from 31 readings collected 2021–2023 is still shown as clarity, but clarity alone cannot earn a letter.
Not Rated is EPA Integrated Reporting Category 3 — insufficient information. Everything below that has been measured is still reported on this page.
Sampling is run by EGLE and volunteer programs, and published through the EPA Water Quality Portal. Read the full grading methodology.
Batteese Lake is a 107-acre lake in Jackson County, Michigan. Water clarity is improving over recent sampling years. The lake supports 2 documented fish species including Black crappie and Bluegill.
