Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment in November 1990.
Basis for Assessment
Used results of November 1990 DNR stream use assessment to assess support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses as FST due to (1) habitat score (24) better than the overall median score (22) for DNR stream use assessmets, (2) indications on field sheet of moderately diverse substrates, several pool/riffle sequences, and relatively few channel alterations, and (3) relatively diverse fish community (14 species from 4 families). Continued support of the Class B(LR) uses is threatened by overpasturing and by stream channelization.
