Assessment Comments
Assessment is based on results of fish tissue (RAFT) monitoring in 1995.
Basis for Assessment
SUMMARY: The Class B(WW) aquatic life uses remain "not assessed." The fish consumption uses remain "fully supported." EXPLANATION: The most recent water quality monitoring data for this river reach are from 1993 (see above). These data are now considered too old (greater than five years) for characterizing current water quality conditions. Thus, the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses were considered "not assessed" for both the 1998 report and the current (2000) report. Fish consumption uses remain "fully supported" based on results of EPA/DNR fish tissue (RAFT) monitoring in 1995 (see assessment for the 1996 report above).
