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 assessment in Jackson County to change the assessment of support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses from FST to "not assessed" due to the lack of sufficient information on the aquatic communities of this stream.  As noted on the field sheet, presence of rocky substrates prevented effective sampling (ie, seining).  The habitat assessment for this stream reach, however, suggests above average habitat quality (see assessment developed for the 1996 report).  Additional monitoring is needed to determine the status of the aquatic communities of this stream and to provide the information needed to develop an accurate assessment of the support of the Class B(LR) uses.
