Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment in S24, T88N, R1W, Dubuque County in August 1991.
Basis for Assessment
Assess support of aquatic life uses as FST due to above median habitat score (25 (vs. 22)), due to reference to "very diverse habitat," and due to mention of difficulty with seining due to presence of rock. Thus, although fish score was < 75th percentile, assess as FST.
