Assessment Summary

The Class A1 use is assessed (monitored) as “not supported” due to aesthetically objectionable conditions caused by algae. The Class BLW use is assessed (monitored) as “fully supported.” All other designated uses are “not assessed”. NOTE: A TMDL was prepared for and approved by the U.S. EPA in 2013 for pH and algae. Because all of the impairments at this lake are addressed by the TMDL, Hannen Lake will be categorized as category 4a; water impaired but no TMDL needed for the current assessment/listing cycle.
