Why Piedmont Reservoir D has no grade

We grade a lake only when the monitoring record supports a letter: 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 Piedmont Reservoir D, no nutrient or algae measurement meets the evidence bar (at least 3 samples within 10 years). Sampling here has recorded phosphorus, but not water clarity and algae (chlorophyll-a).

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 Wyoming DEQ and volunteer programs, and published through the EPA Water Quality Portal. Read the full grading methodology.

Piedmont Reservoir D is a 55-acre lake in Uinta County, Wyoming with an estimated average depth of about 23 feet.
