Assessment is based on a September 1997 fish survey by DNR biologist Don Kline.

Basis for Assessment

SUMMARY:  The Class B(WW) aquatic life uses remain assessed as "fully supported / threatened" (minor impacts).   The fish consumption uses remain "not assessed."  EXPLANATION:  Continue to use the assessment of the Class B(WW) uses developed for the 1998 report (above).   This assessment was based on results of the a stream survey conducted in September 1997 by the DNR Fisheries Bureau.   Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed" due to lack of fish contaminant monitoring in this stream reach.
