Assessment Comments
Basis for Assessment
Used information from DNR "Iowa Float Trips" booklet to assess support of the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses as PS due to extensive channelization that has reduced the quality of both aquatic habitat, fishing, and other water-based recreation. For example, the lower reach of the East Nishnabotna is described as "very straight, offering little for the fish or the fisherman." No other information is available for developing assessments of support of the aquatic life uses.
