Honey Creek IA 01-VOL-301
mouth (S25T92N R5W Clayton Co.) to confluence with unnamed tributary (second upstream trib.) in S5 T91N R5W Clayton Co.
Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment in Clayton County.
Basis for Assessment
Used a review of the field sheet from the October 1991 DNR stream use assessment in Clayton 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 streams in the Driftless Area ecoregion and (2) indications on field sheet of very high quality aquatic habitats with very diverse substrates, several pool/ riffle sequences, and good low flow characteristics. Field sheet indicates impacts to the physical characteristics of this stream from frequent pasturing of the riparian zone. The data upon which this assessment is based are more than 5 years old. Additional monitoring is needed to update this assessment and to better define the status of the aquatic communities and habitats of this stream.
