Assessment Comments
Assessment is based on results from DNR monthly monitoring station near Elkport, Clayton County.
Basis for Assessment
Had one violation of chronic criterion for NH3-N in 36 samples over three years (=FST); had 7 of 14 non-runoff samples that exceeded the Class A WQC for fecal coliform bacteria; thus primary contact recreation uses should be assessed as NS.
