This waterbody in one line
Antioch Park Lake, a lake in Kansas, is assessed as not supporting one or more designated uses, with 5 listed impairment causes in the state's most recent Integrated Report cycle (2024). By assessed acreage it sits among the smaller assessed lakes nationally (38,628 lakes with a filed area); its impairment list is among the longest nationally (5 listed causes vs 23,610 assessed lakes). Aquatic life is assessed as not supporting. Kansas assesses food procurement as not supported; it reported no verdict on fish consumption itself.

Assessment verdicts are the state agency's decisions as reported to EPA ATTAINS; PlainLakes renders them without modification.
A composite of this record's EPA ATTAINS designated-use verdicts, filed impairment count, and assessment currency, weighted and benchmarked against the national corpus of assessed active waterbodies. This is a water-quality standing, not a human-recreation or property-value judgment, and dimensions with no filed verdict drop out rather than count against the score.
Reading Antioch Park Lake's filed record
Paragraphs are selected by this unit's percentiles and use matrix: different lakes lead with different dimensions. Figures are ATTAINS / portal register arithmetic, not advice.
The signature stat: in-state cause rank
Inside Kansas, cause-list rank is the local separator: Antioch Park Lake is 4 of 304 indexed units by listed-cause count, toward the top of that state's filed lists.
Small assessed unit
1 acres puts Antioch Park Lake in the lower tercile by assessed area. Small units are often beaches, ponds, or segments, read the water-type and co-filed notes before comparing them to a multi-thousand-acre reservoir.
Longer than most cause lists
5 listed causes puts this unit above 97% of assessed lake-type records by list length. Treat that as a coding-and-sampling signal: states that split pollutants finely mint longer lists without proving worse water.
No ruled-on use clears the bar
On the uses this filer ruled on, fish consumption, recreation, aquatic life, every determination is Not Supporting. That is a use-by-use reading of the filed record, not a single overall lake grade.
Antioch Park Lake: Category 5, TMDL still owed
Category 5 is the Integrated Report band where a TMDL (or equivalent) is still expected for Antioch Park Lake. Read the listed causes and any cleanup actions filed beside them before treating the overall status tile as a finished restoration story.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ATTAINS program, Kansas carries 328 filed lake-type waterbodies in the August 2026 extract, and this page renders the assessment record EPA assigned to Antioch Park Lake without modification. See our methodology for reporting-unit limits and gauge linking rules.
The record
Designated-use assessments
Fully Supporting and Not Supporting are the state's definitive verdicts; other entries mean the use was not conclusively assessed in this cycle.
| Designated use | Group | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Agricultural Supply Use--Irrigation | Other | Fully Supporting |
| Aquatic Life Use | Aquatic-life or related | Not Supporting |
| Domestic Water Supply | Drinking-water supply designation | Not Supporting |
| Food Procurement | Fish-consumption or fishery | Not Supporting |
| Primary Contact Recreation | Recreation | Not Supporting |
The record
Listed impairment causes
Causes the state listed as impairing designated uses of this lake, with the cycle each was first listed and the Clean Water Act action recorded against it.
| Cause | Affected uses | First listed | Cleanup standing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlordane in Fish Tissue | Food Procurement | 2002 | TMDL approved |
| Eutrophication | Domestic Water Supply, Aquatic Life Use, Primary Contact Recreation | 2008 | TMDL priority: Medium |
| DDT in Fish Tissue | Food Procurement | 2020 | TMDL priority: Low |
| Dieldrin in Fish Tissue | Food Procurement | 2020 | TMDL priority: Low |
| Heptachlor Epoxide | Food Procurement | 2020 | TMDL priority: Low |
Reading the record
Where Antioch Park Lake sits among peers
1 of 1 Kansas lakes assessed this deeply also came out mixed (every lake judged to this depth, so the outcome does not set this record apart)
Kansas ruled definitively on 5 designated uses at Antioch Park Lake and found 4 of 5 not supported. The dataset shows 1 Kansas lakes judged to that same depth.
Kansas's assessed lakes are most often judged on 4 uses; this one was judged on 5.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5+ | |

What to do with this record
- The listing here is on a fishery use, not on fish consumption, and this state reported no consumption verdict for this lake. Your state fish-advisory program is the source for whether the catch is safe to eat. Consumption status guide
- Impairment listings follow the Clean Water Act 303(d) process; a listing is a regulatory finding, not a closure notice. 303(d) explained
PlainLakes renders state assessment decisions and federal gauge observations without modification. It does not issue advisories.
Assessment decisions on this page are rendered directly from state Integrated Report records in EPA's ATTAINS system; gauge figures are daily-value observations from the USGS National Water Information System, no number is typed in by an editor. Overall status, use verdicts, and causes are the state's reported decisions for assessment unit KS-LM067701. Counts and percentiles are computed across all lake-type records PlainLakes ingests from ATTAINS.
