Stream use assessment.

Basis for Assessment

Used assessment of support of the Class B(LR) aqutic life uses developed for the 1994 report (=PS).  Relatively high habitat score (24), however, suggests that stream would benefit greatly from better care of the riparian area.   A good candidate stream for riparian corridor improvement.
