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." The assessment category, however, is changed from "monitored" to "evaluated." Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed." EXPLANATION: Continue to use the assessment developed for the 1998 report (see above) that was based on results of the 1995 DNR stream use assessment. However, because these data are now considered too old to accurately characterize current water quality conditions, the assessment category is changed from "monitored" (indicating an assessment with relatively high confidence) to "evaluated" (indicating an assessment with relatively low confidence). Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed" due to the lack of fish contaminant monitoring in this stream segment.
