Assessment Comments
Three pollution-caused fishkills 1985,1989, and 1996.
Basis for Assessment
Used information on three pollution-caused fish kills in Jones County in the years 1985, 1989, and 1996. Occurrence of three pollution-caused kills in a 15-year period suggests an ongoing impairment to the aquatic community of the stream; thus, assess support of aquatic life uses as PS due to repeated fish kills.
