Assessment verdicts are the state agency's decisions as reported to EPA ATTAINS; PlainLakes renders them without modification.
Where Keno Reservoir stands in the filed 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
Assessed size is not the extreme here: 25.7 acres sits near the middle of the 38,628 units with an area filed (percentile 39).
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ATTAINS program, Oregon carries 1,431 filed lake-type waterbodies in the August 2026 extract, and this page renders the assessment record EPA assigned to Keno Reservoir without modification. See our methodology for reporting-unit limits and gauge linking rules.
The record
Listed impairment causes
No causes are listed because this reservoir has no overall assessment verdict in the reported cycle. An unassessed waterbody is neither confirmed clean nor confirmed impaired.
Reading the record
What Keno Reservoir's record holds
Scale and rank
Keno Reservoir is one of 1,431 lake-type waterbodies reported to EPA from Oregon. It is not among the 167 whose reported record carries enough populated assessment or gauge data for this site to list and index it. At 26 assessed acres it ranks 23,825th 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 23,824 lakes with a larger one.
Which uses were judged
Oregon filed no use-level rows for this reservoir and reached no overall verdict, so nothing here was judged either way.
Water level
A USGS gauge tracks this reservoir's water surface elevation daily, and the latest reading is 0.05 ft below the reading 30 days earlier, against a 365-day observed range of 0.6 ft. 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.
Water level: 365-day record
Daily water surface elevation values, feet above a vertical datum USGS does not name for this site, from USGS gauge 11509380 (Keno Reservoir at Keno, or), shown weekly. Readings are daily-batch snapshots, not real-time conditions.

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
- Water levels shown are daily snapshots. Seasonal drawdown and datum conventions matter when comparing levels. How to read level data
- 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 OR_LK_1801020405_05_100420. Counts and percentiles are computed across all lake-type records PlainLakes ingests from ATTAINS.
