Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment in Winneshiek County.
Basis for Assessment
Used a review of the field sheet from the June 1992 DNR stream use assessment in Winneshiek County to continue to assess support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses as FST due to (1) presence of a majority of the expected fish taxa (6 of 9) for Class B(LR) streams in the Driftless Area ecoregion (52) and indications on field sheet of above average habitat quality due to presence of diverse substrates and presence of several pool/riffle sequences. The only impact noted to the physical characteristics of the stream was frequent pasturing of the riparian corridor. Additional monitoring is needed to update this assessment and to better determine the status of the aquatic communities and habitats of this stream.
