Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment in Clayton County.
Basis for Assessment
Upgraded the assessment of support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses from PS to FST due to (1) habitat score (23) better than overall median score (22) for DNR stream use assessments from 1990-95, (2) indications on field sheet of very diverse substrates and several pool/riffle sequences, (3) despite difficulty of seining over rocky substrates, the Oct 1991 field sheet shows a fish community of 6 species from two families that approximates the expected B(LR) fish community for this region, including a species (southern redbelly dace) that indicates above average water quality. Because the data upon which this assessment is based is more than 5 years old, the 305(b) assessment category was changed from "monitored" to "evaluated." Addtional monitoring is needed to update the assessment and to determine the status of the aquatic communities and habitats of this stream.
