Assessment Comments

DNR stream use assessment in October 1994.

Basis for Assessment

Used results of stream use assessment to assess aquatic life uses as FST due to (1) very high habitat score (31) compared to overall median score (22) for DNR stream use assessments, (2) very high fish score (14) for stream use assessments where seines are used to sample the fish community (75th percentile = 10), (3) comments on field sheet indicating that rocky substrates hindered seining effectiveness.   One of the highest habitat scores of DNR stream use assessments conducted from 1990 through 1995; no impact to habitat quality suggested on field sheet.
