Assessment Comments

Assessment is based on a survey trout reproduction.

Basis for Assessment

SUMMARY: The Class B(CW) coldwater aquatic life uses were assessed as "fully supported / threatened" (minor impacts). Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed." EXPLANATION: Based on a summary of trout reproduction in Iowa streams prepared by the DNR Fisheries Bureau, the Class B(CW) uses were assessed as "fully supported / threatened." According to Moeller (1999), Fountain Springs Creek is in the category of Iowa trout streams that have at least some documented natural reproduction but that are generally unable to maintain a viable trout population at this time. Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed" due to lack of recent fish tissue monitoring in this stream reach.
