Assessment Comments

Assessment is based on results of IDNR monthly ambient monitoring 4 mi N of Indianola.

Basis for Assessment

Continue to use assessment of support of the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses developed for the 1996 report (=PS).   Data from the DNR quarterly monitoring station are well over five years old and are thus of little use for assessing status of water quality (this station is to be monitored again from October 1997 through September 1999).   Follow-up monitoring is needed to determine the status of the aquatic communities and habitats and to determine the degree to which the Class B(WW) uses may be impaired.
