Assessment is based on results of DNR ambient monthly monitoring near St. Joseph.
Basis for Assessment
FO2 reports the WWTP has been upgraded, thus the lack of ammonia violations during the 1992-93 period is not unusual. No other violations of Class B(WW) WQC; thus assess as FST due to known threats from agricultural NPS.
