Assessment Comments

Assessment is based on results of a November 1994 DNR stream use assessment.

Basis for Assessment

SUMMARY:  The Class B(LR) aquatic life uses remain assessed as "partially supported."  EXPLANATION:  Continue to use the assessment of support of the Class B(LR) uses developed for the 1996 report (see above).   The results of the November 1994 DNR stream use assessment-upon which the previous assessment of the Class B(LR) uses was based ("partially supported")-are approximately 5 years old and thus can be used to assess current water quality conditions.   As stated in the assessment developed for the 1998 report (see above), follow-up monitoring is needed in this stream reach to determine the status of aquatic communities and habitats and to determine the degree to which the Class B(LR) uses may be impaired.
