Assessment Comments

Stream use assessment in Clayton County.

Basis for Assessment

In an effort to utilize all available information for waterbody assessments, used this Mid-November 1991 assessment to assess support of aquatic life uses.  Relatively high habitat score (25) field sheet comments ("nice pool riffle habitat," and reference to seining difficulty due to "cobble and rock") suggest a high quality stream with relatively minor impacts from NPS.  Thus, assess aquatic life uses as FST.
