Manteno Lake was assessed as "not supported" for the 2022 assessment/listing cycle based on Dissolved Oxygen. Based on DNR’s assessment methodology the current assessment/listing cycles must have fewer violations of the criterion based on the minimum required by the 10% Rule to propose delisting. There were less than 10% of the samples exceeding the single-sample maximum criterion for the current assessment listing cycle. Therefore, the impairment for Dissolved Oxygen is suggested for delisting for the 2026 assessment/listing cycle.
