Assessment Comments

Assessment is based on results of IDNR ambient monthly monitoring.

Basis for Assessment

Continued to use the assessment of support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses developed for the 1994 report (=PS).   This assessment was developed without information on the biological condition of the river.   Monitoring is needed to determine the status of the aquatic commiunities and habitats of the river and to determine the degree to which the aquatic life uses may be impaired.
