Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment in Dubuque County.
Basis for Assessment
Stream assessment form indicates slightly below average habitat quality. Frequent pasture use impacts including stream bank erosion and removal of riparian vegetation noted. Abundance of filamentous algae growth hindered seining and suggests nutrient enrichment from livestock. Relatively low diversity of fish observed (4 spp., 1 fam).
