Assessment Comments
Assessment is based on IDNR ambient monthly monitoring west of Jefferson.
Basis for Assessment
Used assessment of support of the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses (=FST) developed for the 1996 report. Changed assessment of support of Class A primary contact rereaction uses developed for the 1996 report (=NS) to PS to match assessment upriver for reach downstream from Sac City. That is, data for Sac City are current and collected more frequently (=monthly) than were the data collected near Jefferson in FY94 and FY95. No other monitoring information available for this reach.
