Basis for Assessment

Used information from the DNR publication "Iowa Float Trips" (DNR 1986?: 9) to assess support of the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses as PS due to statement regarding this reach: these segments "take on a dike and ditch appearance with shifting sand and shallow to no distinct channel. These sections offer little to the fishery and boating resource."
