Basis for Assessment
Used limited monitoring data from DNR quarterly monitoring station north of Olin to assess aquatic life uses as FST and primary contact recreation uses as PS. Monitoring results show only 1 violation of Class B water quality criteria (pH) in 7 samplings in 1994. Two of three samples, however, exceeded the Class A WQ criterion for fecal coliform bacteria; thus, use best professional judgement to asssess Class A uses as PS.
