Why East Park Reservoir has no grade

East Park Reservoir 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, East Park Reservoir is Not Rated — not an F. Its 4.6-foot median from 15 readings collected 2017–2023 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 Utah DWQ and volunteer programs, and published through the EPA Water Quality Portal. Read the full grading methodology.

East Park Reservoir is a lake in Uintah County, Utah with an estimated average depth of about 23 feet.
