Why Sundance Fairgrounds Pond 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 Sundance Fairgrounds Pond, no nutrient or algae measurement meets the evidence bar (at least 3 samples within 10 years). Sampling here has recorded water clarity and phosphorus, but not 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.
Sundance Fairgrounds Pond is a 4-acre lake in Crook County, Wyoming.
