Two stream use assessment sites in Clinton County.
Basis for Assessment
Stream assessment forms indicate below-average quality habitat. Frequent channel alterations associated with channelization and clearing of riparian vegetation observed. Odor and color of wastewater observed; most evident in lower reaches. Relatively diverse fish community observed.
[NOTE: The 1994 assessment refers to the Rock Creek IA 01-MAQ-0010 waterbody as a whole. For the 2002 report, Rock Creek was subdivided into three segments: IA 01-MAQ-0010-1 (lower), IA 01-MAQ-0010-2 (above PCS-Nitrogen), and IA 01-MAQ-0010-3 (headwaters).]
