Stream use assessment.
Basis for Assessment
Used a review of the field sheet from the April 1992 DNR stream use assessment in Davis County to upgrade the assessment of support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses from PS to FST due to (1) presence of a moderately diverse fish community (9 species from 4 families) for streams in the Central Irregular Plains ecoregion (40), (2) presence of a majority of the expected fish taxa (6 of 8) for streams in this ecoregion, and (3) presence of approximately average habitat (see above assessment developed for the 1994 report). As noted above, the primary threat to the continued support of the Class B(LR) uses is channelization.
