Assessment Comments
Assessment is based on 1995 Biocriteria sampling: Fish IBI= 27(fair), BM-IBI= 45 (fair).
Basis for Assessment
Used data from one biocriteria site in Taylor Co. to update use support determination. Fish and habitat metrics from stream use assessment protocol were applied to the data. Biocriteria data indicate the stream is heavily impacted by sediment. Very wide, shallow, and deeply incised channel. Fish diversity was reasonably good. Many yoy channel catfish observed, but no adults suggesting habitat is not suitable during low flow periods. I.E. partial use support was assigned.
