Basis for Assessment

[Note: For the 2002 report, the previous waterbody segment for the West Fork Little Sioux River (IA 06-LSR-0120-0), which extended 33 miles from its mouth to confluence with Mud Creek near Moville in Woodbury Co., was split into two subsegments: (1) mouth to confluence with an unnamed tributary 0.5 miles north of Climbing Hill (Woodbury Co.) (IA 06-LSR-0120-1) and (2) unnamed tributary 0.5 miles north of Climbing Hill to Mud Creek near Moville, Woodbury Co. (IA 06-LSR-0120-2 - this one). See subsegment IA 06-LSR-0120_1 for previous Section 305(b) assessments for the original 33-mile river reach.]

For the 2002 report: The Class B(LR) aquatic life uses were not assessed due to lack of water quality information. Due to segment splitting (see "Note" above), data from the 1995 IDNR stream use assessments are no longer appropriate for assessing support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses of this stream segment.
