Assessment Comments

Assessment based on results of a 1995 survey of Iowa water supply reservoirs (Miller and Kennedy (1995).

Basis for Assessment

SUMMARY:  The Class A (primary contact recreation) uses remain "not assessed."  The Class B(LW) aquatic life uses were considered "not assessed."  The Class C (drinking water) uses remain assessed as "fully supported / threatened."  Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed."  EXPLANATION:  The Class A (primary contact recreation) uses remain "not assessed" due to the lack of information on levels of indicator bacteria at this lake.   The assessment of support of the Class B(LW) was changed to "not assessed" due to lack of recent information on the fisheries of this lake.   The assessment of support of the Class C (drinking water) uses remains based on the UHL survey of water supply reservoirs in 1995 (Miller and Kennedy 1995) (see assessment developed for the 1996 report above).   Fish consumption used remain "not assessed" due to lack of fish contaminant monitoring at this lake.
