Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment in October 1992.
Basis for Assessment
Continued to use the assessment of support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses developed for the 1996 report (=PS). Several species/genera of fish would be expected to occur in this stream other than the two cyprinid species captured during the October 1994 DNR stream use assessment (blacknose dace & bluntnose minnow)*. Follow-up monitoring is needed to determine the status of the aquatic communities and habitats and to determine the degree to which the Class B(LR) uses may be impaired. *(The species present represent only 2 of the 11 fish taxa expected in streams of the Des Moines Lobe subecoregion.)
