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 remain 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 remain assessed as "fully supporting" based on results of EPA/DNR fish tissue (RAFT) monitoring in 1999 near Clermont (see assessment for the 2000 report above).
