Assessment Comments
Monitored in 1990 by ISU as part of the Clean Lakes Classification study (1994).
Basis for Assessment
SUMMARY: The Class B(LW) aquatic life uses remained assessed as "fully supported / threatened." Fish consumption uses were "not assessed." EXPLANATION: The Class B(LW) aquatic life uses remain assessed as "fully supporting / threatened" based on review and approval of the previous (1998) assessments by the DNR Fisheries Bureau in 2000. The water quality trend for this lake, however, was changed from "stable" to "declining." The fish consumption use remain "not assessed" due to lack of fish tissue monitoring at this lake.
