Basis for Assessment

SUMMARY:  The Class B(WW) aquatic life uses were "not assessed."  The fish consumption uses remain "not assessed."  EXPLANATION:  The assessments of support of the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses for the 1996 and 1998 reports (above) were developed without results of either chemical or biological monitoring in this river reach.   Thus, the assessment of the Class B(WW) uses was changed from "partially supported" to "not assessed."  Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed" due to the lack of fish tissue monitoring in this river reach.
