Assessment Comments
1994 biocriteria sampling conducted approximately 1/2 mile downstream from confluence with Little Paint Creek.
Basis for Assessment
Used results of stream biocriteria sampling in September 1994 to assess aquatic life uses as FST due to relatively high number of fish species (20), high number of fish species intolerant of sediment/nutrient impacts (5), and due to above average habitat quality in the protected stream corridor in the Yellow River State Forest.
