Assessment Comments
Assessment is based on stream use assessments.
Basis for Assessment
Continue to use assessment of support of the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses developed for the 1996 report (=FST). A review of the field sheets from the September 1994 DNR stream use assessments in Marion and Warren counties shows that (1) the fish community of this stream contains all, or nearly all (8 of 8; 7 of 8) of the expected fish taxa for streams in the Central Irregular Plains ecoregion (40) and (2) both adults and juveniles of the expected game fish species (channel catfish) are present.
