This is a Legacy Assessment. Prior to 2004, assessments were developed under a methodology that pre-dated the Integrated Report guidelines.

Assessment Comments
Assessment is based on 1995 Biocriteria sampling: Fish IBI= 27(fair), BM-IBI= 45 (fair).
Basis for Assessment
Continue to use the assessment of support of the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses developed for the 1996 report (=PS). This assessment is based primarily on the results of the October 1995 DNR biocriteria sampling. Despite a relatiely diverse fish population (12 spp), the absence of adult game fish at low flows suggest that the Class B(WW) use is not fully supported. This reach of stream may be more appropriately designated for Class B(LR) aquatic life uses.
