East Lake (Lenox) IA 05-PLA-1478

Assessment Comments

Monitored in 1993 & 1995 for Survey of Water Supply Reservoirs (Miller & Kennedy 1993, 1995).

Basis for Assessment

SUMMARY:  The Class A (primary contact recreation) uses and the Class B(LW) aquatic life uses remain "not assessed."  The Class C (drinking water) uses remain assessed as "fully supported / threatened."  Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed."  EXPLANATION:  The Class A uses remain "not assessed" due to the lack of information on levels of indicator bacteria at this lake.   The Class B(LW) uses remain "not assessed" due to lack of information on the status of the aquatic communities 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).   Fish consumption used remain "not assessed" due to lack of fish contaminant monitoring at this lake.
