Assessment Comments

Assessment is based on (1) surveys of Nebraska fisheries biologists, (2) consultation with DNR staff and (3) results of fish tissue (RAFT) monitoring.

Basis for Assessment

All fish contaminants were < 1/2 FDA action levels;  thus, assessed fish consumption uses as FS.   DNR staff used  BPJ to assess reach as PS due to siltation and nutrients from agriculture.
