Assessment Comments

Stream use assessment in Scott County.

Basis for Assessment

Changed 1994 assessment of aquatic life uses from PS to FST for the following reasons: (1) habitat score (22) equals the overall meadian habitat score for DNR stream use assessments, (2) field sheet indicates only isolated channel alterations and "some" erosion of stream banks (vs. "frequent" or "extensive"), (3) fish score (11) exceeds the 75th percentile for assessments made with seines, (4) field notes indicated rel. permanent pools due to hardpan. Comments regarding "sores on larger creek chubs and white suckers" does suggest a potential WQ problem, but most other information suggests a relatively non- impaired stream reach.
