Assessment Comments
Assessment based on results of two IDNR stream use assessments conducted in Pottawattamie and Mills counties.
Basis for Assessment
Stream assessment forms indicate extensive channelization. Excessive siltation noted in some reaches. Extensive erosion of stream banks noted, probably a result of high flows. Fish community dominated by tolerant species (4 species, 4 families).
