The Class A (primary contact recreation) uses and the Class B(LW) aquatic life uses remain assessed as "partially supported."  Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed."  EXPLANATION:  The Class A and Class B(LW) uses remain assessed as "partially supported" based on a review and approval of the previous (1996, 1998) assessments by the DNR Fisheries Bureau in 2000.   Fish consumption  uses remain "not assessed" due to lack of fish contaminant monitoring at this lake.
