Description: This is a viewing service for Water Quality Report - Lakes, 2022 305(b). As one of the provisions of the Federal Clean Water Act, states must report on the water quality status of waters in their state. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources maintains a database that contains this information for Missouri waters. This database contains records for each of the 4,000+ classified streams and lakes in the state and also contains records for unclassified waters that have water pollution problems. Each record in the database gives the water body name, size (stream miles or lake surface acres), location, and beneficial uses assigned to that water body by Missouri's Water Quality Standards, 10 CSR 20-7.031. Each record indicates the water quality status (category 1-5). If the water body is judged to have impaired water quality (categories 4 and 5), the record will also note the pollutant(s) and source(s) causing the problem (if known). When known, the database will also show the water quality history of each water, and for impaired waters, provide information on actions taken or planned to eliminate the pollution problem and their schedules. This feature class contains those records for water bodies that have been identified as impaired (categories 4 and 5) as of the 2022 water quality assessment cycle. This dataset was developed by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Metadata: https://info.mo.gov/dnr/DNR_GIS/metadata/WATER.QLTRPT_2022_L.xml
