This waterbody in one line
Fanny Lake, a lake in Florida, is assessed as not supporting one or more designated uses, with 2 listed impairment causes in the state's most recent Integrated Report cycle (2024). By assessed acreage it sits above the national median by assessed acreage (38,628 lakes); its impairment list is among the longest nationally (2 listed causes vs 23,610 assessed lakes). Aquatic life is assessed as not supporting.

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 Fanny 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: cause-list length
The standout filed fact is cause-list length: 2 listed impairment causes, a longer list than 80% of assessed lake-type units (n=23,610). List length tracks how states sample and code, not a severity score.
Not one verdict, several
This record splits: Not Supporting on aquatic life, Fully Supporting on recreation. The divergence is inside the designated-use matrix, not a single all-or-nothing label.
Fanny Lake: Category 4C reading
Category 4C marks impairment from pollution that is not a pollutant (for example habitat or flow alteration) on Fanny Lake. A classic TMDL load model often does not apply; the cause list should name the non-pollutant stressor.
Overall status: not supporting
The filer's overall status for Fanny Lake is Not Supporting. That tile summarizes the assessment unit; the designated-use rows and cause list are the evidence behind it.
Large assessed unit
At 97.4 acres, Fanny Lake clears the upper tercile of assessed lake-type units with an area on file (11,902 still larger). Size comparisons use the portal's deduplicated lake ranking population, not raw ATTAINS row counts.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ATTAINS program, Florida carries 1,475 filed lake-type waterbodies in the August 2026 extract, and this page renders the assessment record EPA assigned to Fanny 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Fish and Wildlife Propagation - Freshwater | Aquatic-life or related | Not Supporting |
| Recreation | Recreation | Fully Supporting |
The record
Listed impairment causes
Causes the state listed as impairing designated uses of this lake, with the cycle each was first listed. None is a pollutant, so none carries a TMDL cleanup plan.
| Cause | Affected uses | First listed | Cleanup standing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alkalinity | Fish and Wildlife Propagation - Freshwater | Not reported | Not applicable (non-pollutant) |
| pH | Fish and Wildlife Propagation - Freshwater | Not reported | Not applicable (non-pollutant) |
Reading the record
Fanny Lake: Category 4C reading
4C Category 4C: impaired by a non-pollutant; TMDL programme does not apply
Florida filed this assessment unit as Category 4C: the impairment is not caused by a pollutant, so the Clean Water Act 303(d) cleanup-plan (TMDL) programme, which allocates pollutant loads, does not apply here.
A 4C listing is still an impairment finding about designated uses; it is not a clean bill of health. How listing and cleanup work.
Scale and rank
Fanny Lake is one of 1,475 lake-type waterbodies reported to EPA from Florida, and one of 973 whose reported record carries enough populated assessment or gauge data for this site to list and index it. At 97 assessed acres it ranks 11,903rd by assessed size among the 38,628 lakes the dataset carries an area for, counting a state’s repeated filings of one water once, behind 11,902 lakes with a larger one.
Awaiting a filing
The state has not yet filed a definitive fish-consumption verdict for this record; that field populates when it reports it in a future Integrated Report cycle.

In context
Florida context
ATTAINS carries 1,475 lake-type waterbodies in Florida, 636 assessed as not supporting at least one use and 367 fully supporting. Among the 973 indexed units there, Fanny Lake ranks 290th by listed-cause count (2 listed causes) and 470th by assessed size among the 973 with an area filed; it sits in the not-supporting set (636 statewide) . Its listed causes (Alkalinity and pH) sit outside Florida's top-five list, which is led by Phosphorus, Total.

What to do with this record
- Assessment verdicts are cycle-based, not real-time. For fish-consumption decisions, your state advisory program is the binding source. 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 FL2732X. Counts and percentiles are computed across all lake-type records PlainLakes ingests from ATTAINS.
