Assessment Comments

Assessment based on results of October 1990 IDNR stream use assessments in Osceola county.

Basis for Assessment

Continue to use the assessment of support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses developed for the 1994 report.   A review of the field sheet from the October 1990 DNR stream use assessment shows that relatively few fish species were captured (5 from 3 familes), but that seining was hindered by ice along shore (i.e., less than ideal sampling conditions).   Continue to assess support as FST on basis of relatively good habitat score and comments on field sheet regarding "good [aquatic] habitat" and "good numbers [of fish] in pools, particularly deeper pools."  Additional monitoring is needed to update this assessment and to better define the status of the aquatic communities and habitats.
