mouth (Dubuque Co.) to confluence with Lux Cr. in S7 T87N R4E Jackson Co.
Assessment Comments
1990 stream use assessment in Jackson County.
Basis for Assessment
Used a review of the field sheet from the August 1990 DNR stream use assesment in Jackson County to change the assessment of support of the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses from FST to "not assessed" due to lack of sufficient informaiton on the aquatic communities of this stream. As noted on the field sheet, stream was too deep and wide to sample effectively with seines. Additional monitoring is needed to determine the status of the aquatic communities in this stream reach and to provide the information needed to develop an accurate assessment of support of the Class B(WW) uses. A fish kill was reported at St. Donatus on August 16, 1997. Approximately 1/4 mile of stream was affected; no cause or source of the kill was determined; no estimate of number of fish killed was calculated.
