Basis for Assessment
[NOTES: Prior to the 2002 cycle, the Waterbody ID number for this wetland was IA-WETLAND-39. This wetland is not in the current (September 2001) 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 / threatened" (minor impacts). Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed." EXPLANATION: The aquatic life uses remain assessed as "fully supported / threatened" based on information from the Iowa DNR Wildife Bureau (see assessment for the 1998 and 2000 reports above). Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed." In general, Iowa wetlands are not managed for recreational fisheries; thus, fish contaminant monitoring is not typically conducted at these waterbodies.
