Assessment Comments

Stream use assessment in Cedar County.

Basis for Assessment

Changed asessment of support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses from FST to "not assessed" due to lack of information on the aquatic community.   Although results of the September 1991 DNR stream use assessment suggest relatively good aquatic habitat, this assessment did not include an assessment of the fish community.   Additional monitoring is needed to provide information for developing an assessment of support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses.
