Assessment Comments

Stream use assessment from 1990.

Basis for Assessment

Stream assessment forms indicate well-below avg.  habitat quality.   Basic ditched stream habitat with little diversity of substrate or habitat types observed.   Flow is augmented by Eagle Grove STP.   Very low diversity of fish observed.   No possible explanation offered, but lack of habitat is a start.   This "stream" may be a candidate for future designated use review.
