Lost Island Lake IA 06-LSR-1632

Assessment Comments

Assessment is based on results of 1990 Clean Lakes Classification study and August 1994 IDNR Fish tissue monitoring.

Basis for Assessment

SUMMARY:  The Class A (primary contact recreation) uses were considered "not assessed."  Continue to assess support of the Class B(LW) aquatic life uses as "fully supported / threatened."  Fish consumption uses were assessed as fully supported.   EXPLANATION:  The Class A uses were considered "not assessed" due to a lack of information on levels of indicator bacteria for this lake.   The Class B(LW) uses remained assessed as "fully supported / threatened" based on the assessments developed for previous reports.   This assessment was reviewed and approved by the DNR Fisheries Bureau in 2000.   Fish consumption uses remain assessed as "fully supported" based on results of EPA/DNR fish tissue (RAFT) monitoring in 1994 (see assessment for the 1996 & 1998 reports).   This lake is scheduled to be sampled as part of the ISU/DNR lake water quality monitoring project.
