Assessment Comments

Assessment is based on results of an October 1990 IDNR stream use assessment conducted in Dickinson county.

Basis for Assessment

Habitat diversity is noted as being low.   Frequent channel alterations from quarry operations are noted.   Without continuous flow from Milford STP, natural flow stability would be low.   Very few fish observed for the amount of stream seined.   Most fish were in bridge pool.
