Assessment Comments

Previous assessment was based on DNR stream use assessment in October 1994. No recent information. See attached document for details.

Basis for Assessment

SUMMARY:  The Class B(LR) aquatic life uses remain assessed as "fully supported."  The assessment category, however, is changed from "monitored" to "evaluated."  EXPLANATION:  Continue to use the assessment developed for the 1998 report (see above) that was based on results of the 1994 DNR stream use assessment.   However, because these data are now considered too old to accurately characterize current water quality conditions, the assessment category is changed from "monitored" (indicating an assessment with relatively high confidence) to "evaluated" (indicating an assessment with relatively low confidence).
