Assessment Comments
September 1994 DNR stream use assessment in Jackson County.
Basis for Assessment
Used results of the September 1994 DNR stream use assessment east of Maquoketa to assess support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses as FST due to (1) habitat score (23) better than the overall median score (22) for DNR stream use assessments, (2) indications on field sheet of diverse substrates, several pool/riffle sequences, and moderately stable stream banks, and (3) very diverse fish community (15 species from 4 families) including some relatively pollution-intolerant forms (rosyface shiner, northern hogsucker, and hornyhead chub). Field sheet suggests that continued support of the aquatic life uses is threatened by frequent impacts due to pasturing of the riparian zone.
