Assessment Comments
Previous assessment was based on results of DNR stream use assessment in September 1995
Basis for Assessment
Used results of stream use assessment to assess aquatic life uses as FST due to (1) habitat score (26) greater than the overall median habitat score (22) for DNR stream use assessments, (2) fish score (12) equal to the 75th percentile of all fish scores of assessments where electrofishing was used to sample the fish community (3) collection of 27 fish species during the assessment including smallmouth bass and Am. brook lamprey.
