Reading the record
What Lake Ransom Canyon's record holds
Scale and rank
Lake Ransom Canyon is one of 489 lake-type waterbodies reported to EPA from Texas. It is not among the 323 whose reported record carries enough populated assessment or gauge data for this site to list and index it. At 100 assessed acres it ranks 11,759th 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 11,758 lakes with a larger one.
Which uses were judged
Texas filed no use-level rows for this reservoir and reached no overall verdict, so nothing here was judged either way.
What this record holds
Texas filed no overall verdict, no reporting cycle and no EPA category for this reservoir, so the record holds the identifying fields above and no judgement of any kind: no verdict, and 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
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 TX-1241E_01. Counts and percentiles are computed across all lake-type records PlainLakes ingests from ATTAINS.
