mouth (S2 T91N R31W Pocahontas Co.) to confluence with Drainage Ditch No. 169 in S6 T91N R31W Pocahontas Co.
Assessment Comments
Assessment is based on results of a September 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 and 1998 reports (see above). The results of the September 1994 DNR stream use assessment in Pocahontas County-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.
