UDRV tribs (Flat Bk to Dingmans Ferry)

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.

UDRV tribs (Flat Bk to Dingmans Ferry) 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: cause-list length

The standout filed fact is a short cause list: 0 causes, shorter than 51% of assessed lake-type units. A short list can mean a focused impairment, or a shallow assessment.

Small assessed unit

11.4 acres puts UDRV tribs (Flat Bk to Dingmans Ferry) in the lower tercile by assessed area. Small units are often beaches, ponds, or segments, read the water-type and co-filed notes before comparing them to a multi-thousand-acre reservoir.

IR category in the supporting band

EPA's Integrated Report category for UDRV tribs (Flat Bk to Dingmans Ferry) is 2. In ATTAINS that band means the assessed uses are supporting (or supporting with other waters in the unit), so the narrative weight shifts to how deep the assessment went and whether monitoring is current, not to a restoration plan.

Overall status: fully supporting

Overall status is Fully Supporting. If an IR category or cause row still appears, it usually reflects a prior listing path or a use the overall rollup does not collapse, read those sections rather than stopping at the tile.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ATTAINS program, New Jersey carries 611 filed lake-type waterbodies in the August 2026 extract, and this page renders the assessment record EPA assigned to UDRV tribs (Flat Bk to Dingmans Ferry) without modification. See our methodology for reporting-unit limits and gauge linking rules.

Limited-coverage record. The reported record for this multi-water assessment unit currently lacks a definitive fish-consumption verdict, a definitive recreation verdict, a definitive aquatic-life verdict, among other dimensions. It is shown for completeness; the richer records for New Jersey are on the state page.

Scale and rank

UDRV tribs (Flat Bk to Dingmans Ferry) is one of 611 lake-type waterbodies reported to EPA from New Jersey. It is not among the 588 whose reported record carries enough populated assessment or gauge data for this site to list and index it. At 11 assessed acres it ranks 30,455th 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 30,454 lakes with a larger one.

What this record holds

New Jersey completed an assessment here and listed no impairment cause, so the record holds a verdict and its supporting use rows but no pollutant to track over time. The state has not yet filed a definitive fish-consumption verdict, a definitive recreation verdict, and a definitive aquatic-life verdict for this record; those fields populate when it reports them in a future Integrated Report cycle.

  • 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 NJ02040104110020-01. Counts and percentiles are computed across all lake-type records PlainLakes ingests from ATTAINS.
