Cty E Pond

Ozaukee County, WisconsinMesotrophic

Cty E Pond comes in at a B on the grading rubric — a respectable showing for a Wisconsin lake of its size and depth. The three sub-grades — clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a — track close together, so no single parameter is dragging the average.

Mesotrophic conditions dominate at Cty E Pond: enough nutrients for a healthy fishery, not so much that algal blooms become a chronic problem. The lake's maximum depth is not yet documented in state morphometric records — context for its physical structure remains limited. Cty E Pond is small — 2 acres alongside partial shoreline records — which makes it sensitive to even modest changes in watershed runoff or recreational pressure. Within Ozaukee County's 9 graded lakes, Cty E Pond ranks 5 — below the local median, though not at the bottom.

No invasive species are currently listed at Cty E Pond — the lake remains off the Wisconsin infested-waters roster. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Cty E Pond, which usually reflects a lack of formal fisheries survey work rather than an empty lake. Monitoring depth is thin here: the LakeGrade rubric is applied to a small number of sample years, and the grade will be revised as more data accumulates.
