Hunter Lake against the ATTAINS register
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: assessed size
What stands out first is how small the assessed unit is: 0.6 acres, smaller than 98% of the 38,628 lake-type units carrying an area.
IR category 3 on Hunter Lake
The Integrated Report category filed for Hunter Lake is 3. PlainLakes renders EPA's code without remapping it into a consumer grade.
Overall status: Not Assessed
ATTAINS overall status on this unit is “Not Assessed”. PlainLakes does not rewrite that vocabulary into a consumer score.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ATTAINS program, Nevada carries 69 filed lake-type waterbodies in the August 2026 extract, and this page renders the assessment record EPA assigned to Hunter Lake without modification. See our methodology for reporting-unit limits and gauge linking rules.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Aquatic Life | Aquatic-life or related | Not Assessed |
| Irrigation | Other | Not Assessed |
| Municipal or Domestic Supply | Drinking-water supply designation | Not Assessed |
| Propagation of Wildlife | Other | Not Assessed |

The record
Listed impairment causes
The state reported this lake in its 2022 Integrated Report cycle but reached no assessment determination, so no causes are listed. The unit is recorded under EPA integrated-reporting Category 3: reviewed, with insufficient information to determine whether it meets water-quality standards. An undetermined waterbody is neither confirmed clean nor confirmed impaired.
Reading the record
What Hunter Lake's record holds
Scale and rank
Hunter Lake is one of 69 lake-type waterbodies reported to EPA from Nevada. It is not among the 50 whose reported record carries enough populated assessment or gauge data for this site to list and index it. At 0.55 assessed acres it ranks 37,978th 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 37,977 lakes with a larger one.
What this record holds
Nevada filed this lake in its 2022 Integrated Report cycle but reached no determination, so the record holds that filing and its use rows, but no verdict, and with nothing judged, no impairment cause to track over time. The state has not yet filed a definitive fish-consumption verdict, a definitive recreation verdict, a definitive aquatic-life verdict, and 1 other for this record; those fields populate when it reports them in a future Integrated Report cycle.

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

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 NV06-TR-38-A_00. Counts and percentiles are computed across all lake-type records PlainLakes ingests from ATTAINS.
