Assessment remains based on information from the IDNR Wildlife Bureau.

Basis for Assessment

[NOTES:  Prior to the 2002 cycle, the Waterbody ID number for this wetland was IA-WETLAND-37.   This wetland is not in the March 2006 version of the Iowa Water Quality Standards and has not been proposed for inclusion to the standards.]

SUMMARY:  The aquatic life uses remain assessed (evaluated) as "fully supported” based on information from the IDNR Wildlife Bureau.   The fish consumption uses remain "not assessed" due to the lack of water quality information upon which to base an assessment.   This assessment is the same as that developed for the previous (2004 and 2006) assessment/listing cycles.
