Assessment Comments
Assessment is based on results of EPA/IDNR fish contaminant monitoring in 1998.
Basis for Assessment
SUMMARY: The Class A (primary contact recreation) uses and the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses remain "not assessed." Fish consumption remain assessed (monitored) as "fully supported" based on results of U.S. EPA/IDNR fish contaminant monitoring in 1998.
EXPLANATION: The Class A and Class B(WW) uses are "not assessed" due to the lack of water quality information for this segment upon which to base an assessment. The fish consumption uses remain "fully supported" based on the assessment developed for the 2000 report.
