Basis for Assessment

Continue to use the assessment of support of the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses developed for the 1996 report (=PS).   This assessment, however, was developed without the benefit of biological information.   Follow-up monitoring is needed to better determine the status of the aquatic communities and habitats and to determine to what degree the Class B(WW) uses may be impaired.
