Broadmoor Pond 1, covering 15 acres, is a Private lake situated in Unincorporated Charlotte County.
The CHNEP area contains several types of altered/artificial waterbodies that are not assessed by Florida Department of Environmental Protection, since they have no water quality standards and therefore, cannot be impaired or non-impaired. These include stormwater ponds/lakes and other non-assessed altered artificial waterbodies.
This waterbody is located within: Lemon Bay Basin

CHNEP's Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) identified four action plans: water quality improvement; hydrological restoration; fish, wildlife, and habitat improvement; and public engagement. Click on the interactive maps below to view data associated with these goals and actions.

Water Quality
Overall Trophic State Index
The Trophic State Index (TSI) measures the biological productivity of a lake. It takes into account nitrogen and phosphorus, nutrients required by plant life, and chlorophyll, which is a measure of algae abundance. Lakes with TSI values greater than 70 typically are “eutrophic”, with an oversupply of nutrients and degraded water quality.

Legend
| Water Quality | Trophic State Index | Trophic State Classification |
|---|---|---|
| 0 - 59 | Oligotrophic through Mid-Eutrophic | |
| 60 - 69 | Mid-Eutrophic through Eutrophic | |
| 70 - 100 | Hypereutrophic |
Nutrient Chemistry
Although naturally present in all surface waters, excessive nutrients – nitrogen and phosphorus – are a nationwide water quality problem. They can cause overgrowth of plants that deplete the oxygen in the water needed by aquatic creatures to survive. Learn more about nutrient chemistry »

Water Clarity
Water clarity or turbidity measurements show the degree to which light is blocked by suspended particles such as sediment or algae. In a healthy aquatic system, sunlight is able to penetrate the water column and is available for photosynthetic plants and the creatures that depend on them. Learn more about water clarity »

Bacteria
Bacterial indicators for recreational waters include Fecal Coliform, Total Coliform, and Enterococcus (including E. coli). While indicator organisms themselves are not necessarily pathogenic, their presence suggests possible contamination which may result in human illness. Sources of this contamination include stormwater runoff, sewage overflows, and feces from wild and domestic animals. Learn more about bacteria »
No Data Available
Dissolved Oxygen
Dissolved Oxygen (DO) is one of the most important indicators of water quality. It is essential for a healthy, productive biological system and vital to the survival of fish and other aquatic organisms. Learn more about dissolved oxygen »

Impaired Waters
This waterbody has not been assessed according to the Florida Dept. of Environmental Protection's (FDEP) implementation of the Impaired Waters Rule (IWR). The FDEP evaluates whether waters meet their designated uses, which include aquatic life use support, primary contact and recreation use support, fish and shellfish consumption use support, and drinking water use support. Learn more about IWR Assessment »
Impairment Status
Not Assessed
Florida also has mercury impairment statewide, its largest source being atmospheric deposition from local and global power generation. The Florida Department of Health (DOH) and Florida Department of Environmental Protection have identified over 400 waterbodies, most freshwater lakes and rivers but also some coastal/marine areas, that are impaired due to mercury found in fish tissue. Florida Fish Consumption Advisories, updated annually by the DOH, provide guidance on how to limit mercury exposure from these waters.
Water Levels & Flows
Hydrologic data describe physical properties of water such as how fast it is moving and how deep it is. Click the Learn More links to explore the significance of each parameter and how it is measured.
Water Levels
Water levels in Florida are seasonal, with higher levels during the state’s rainy summer and fall months. Recent water level data are shown below, along with historical and regulatory values to provide context. Learn more about lake water levels »

Bathymetric Maps and Depth Information
These contour maps show depth in various parts of the lake at the time the lake was mapped. Although lake depth varies over time, these maps are useful to get a sense of the relative depths of different areas of the lake. Learn more about bathymetric maps »

Graph Details and Help
Water quality data is displayed as a scatter-plot with data from individual sampling events displayed by date, for the previous two- and ten-year periods. Data from all available sources are plotted together. Clicking on a graph will open a larger version of it. To view/download data older than ten years, or to view/download data from individual data source(s), click the "Download Data" icon or button.
The scale used is chosen to accommodate typical values for the water quality parameter being graphed. Units are shown on the y-axis and in the graph title.
Graphs are generated and stored in the Water Atlas database on a periodic basis using an automated process. The date when the graph was created is shown.
The Seasonal Variation Graph displays a statistical summary of data from all available data sources for the entire period of record. It is used to illustrate typical variation in the selected water quality parameter from month to month during the year. The diagram below shows how to read the graph:
The median value is shown. Although not specifically marked on the graph, the mean (average) value is midway between the 25th and 75th percentiles.
The "whiskers" indicate the range of the sample values; those that are outside pre-defined "Minimum" and "Maximum" values are excluded. Sample data less than the Minimum or greater than the Maximum are considered to be outliers and are not displayed on the graph.
