Turkey River IA 01-TRK-152
from bridge crossing at Elgin (S13 T94N R7 Fayette Co.) to confluence with Little Turkey R near Eldorado (S18 T95N R8W Fayette Co.).
Assessment Comments
Fish tissue (RAFT) monitoring conducted in 1999.
Basis for Assessment
SUMMARY: The Class B(WW) aquatic life uses remain "not assessed." The fish consumption uses are assessed as "fully supported." EXPLANATION: The Class B(WW) uses remain "not assessed" due to the lack of chemical or biological monitoring data for this river reach. Fish consumption uses are assessed as "fully supporting" based on results of EPA/DNR fish tissue (RAFT) monitoring in 1999 near Clermont. Levels of nearly all contaminants in the composite samples of fillets from common carp and smallmouth bass were below the analytical limit of detection (only 4 of 23 contaminants were detected). Levels of the few contaminants detected were much less than ½ of the respective FDA action levels or DNR levels of concern.
