Basis for Assessment

SUMMARY: The Class A (primary contact recreation uses) remained "not assessed." Continued to assess support of the Class B(LW) aquatic life uses as "fully supported / threatened." Other beneficial uses remain "not assessed." EXPLANATION: The level of support of the Class A (primary contact recreation) uses was "not assessed" due to (1) the lack of information on levels of indicator bacteria at this lake and (2) the lack of swimming uses at this lake (see assessment developed for the 1994 report). The previous (1998) assessment of support of the Class B(LW) uses ("fully supported / threatened") was reviewed and approved by the DNR Fisheries Bureau in 2000. Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed" due to the lack of fish contaminant monitoring at this lake.
