Basis for Assessment

The assessment developed for the 1996 report was reviewed and approved by the DNR Fisheries Bureau.  Thus, both the Class A (primary contact recreation) uses and the Class B(LW) aquatic life uses remain assessed as PS due to excessive growth of rooted aquatic vegetation in this naturally shallow lake.
