Assessment Comments

Assessment is based on results of IDNR ambient quarterly water quality monitoring near Missouri Valley in 1996-1997.

Basis for Assessment

Changes the assessment of support of the Class B(WW) uses from PS to FST due to results from the DNR quarterly WQ monitoring station E of Missouri Valley:  no violations of either toxic or conventional contaminants occurred in the eight samples collected over the October 95 to July 97 period.  This assessment was developed without the benefit of information on the status of the aquatic communities in this reach of the Boyer River.   Additonal monitoring is needed to determine the status of the aquatic communities and habitats of this reach of river.
