Assessment Comments
DNR stream use assessment conducted in September 1995.
Basis for Assessment
SUMMARY: The Class B(WW) aquatic life uses remain assessed as "fully supported." Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed." EXPLANATION: Continue to use the assessment of the Class B(WW) uses developed for the 1998 report (above). This assessment was based on results of the DNR stream use assessment conducted in September 1995. Additional chemical and/or biological monitoring is needed in this long assessment reach. Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed" due to the lack of fish tissue monitoring in this river reach.
