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.
Where Levittown Lake-02040201000867 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: 22.2 acres sits near the middle of the 38,628 units with an area filed (percentile 35).
Mixed use determinations
This record splits: Not Supporting on aquatic life, Fully Supporting on fish consumption, recreation. The divergence is inside the designated-use matrix, not a single all-or-nothing label.
Levittown Lake-02040201000867: Category 5, TMDL still owed
Category 5 is the Integrated Report band where a TMDL (or equivalent) is still expected for Levittown Lake-02040201000867. Read the listed causes and any cleanup actions filed beside them before treating the overall status tile as a finished restoration story.
Overall status: not supporting
The filer's overall status for Levittown Lake-02040201000867 is Not Supporting. That tile summarizes the assessment unit; the designated-use rows and cause list are the evidence behind it.

| Designated use | Group | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Aesthetics | Other | Fully Supporting |
| Boating | Recreation | Fully Supporting |
| Fishing | Fish-consumption or fishery | Fully Supporting |
| Warm Water Fishes | Aquatic-life or related | Not Supporting |
The record
Listed impairment causes
Causes the state listed as impairing designated uses of this reservoir, with the cycle each was first listed and the Clean Water Act action recorded against it.
| Cause | Affected uses | First listed | Cleanup standing |
|---|---|---|---|
| pH, High | Warm Water Fishes | 2022 | TMDL priority: Medium |
Probable sources
Pennsylvania listed the source of the impairment as unknown. That is the state's own filed value, not a gap in this record: the cause has been identified, the origin has not.

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 PA-LRP-02040201000867. Counts and percentiles are computed across all lake-type records PlainLakes ingests from ATTAINS.
