Assessment Comments

Assessment based on the April 1991 DNR stream use assessments conducted in Plymouth county.

Basis for Assessment

Continued to use the assessment of support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses developed for the 1996 report (=PS).   Review of resuls from the April 1991 DNR stream use assessment suggest that several species/genera typical of Class B(LR) streams in this region may be missing from this stream.   Follow-up monitoring is needed to determine the status of the aquatic communities and habitats and to determine the degree to which the Class B(LR) uses may be impaired.
