Stream use assessment.
Basis for Assessment
Used a review of the field sheet from the September 1992 DNR stream use assessment in Greene County to continue to assess support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses as FST due to (1) presence of a relatively diverse fish community (13 species from 4 families) for streams in the Des Moines Lobe subecoregion (47b), (2) presence of a majority of the expected fish taxa (8 of 11) for streams in this subecoregion, and (3) presence of reltaively high quality aquatic habitats (see assessment for the 1996 305(b) report). Results of fish sampling may have been negatively affected by late season (late September).
