Assessment Comments

Stream use assessment in 1995.

Basis for Assessment

Used results of the October 1995 DNR stream use assessment near Renwick in Wright County.   Stream flow was well above normal, and the accuracy of the assessment is thus reduced.   Results of stream assessment suggest that the B(WW) aquatic life uses are supported due to (1) habitat score (24) above the overall median score (22) for DNR stream use assessments, (2) indication on field sheet of diverse substrates, pool/riffle development, and only isolated channel alterations.
