Assessment Comments

Assessment is based on two DNR stream use assessments in October 1995.

Basis for Assessment

SUMMARY:  The Class B(WW) aquatic life uses remain assessed as "fully supported / threatened" (minor impacts).   Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed."  EXPLANATION:  Continue to use the assessment of the Class B(WW) uses developed for the 1998 report (see assessment for the 1998 report).   This assessment was based on results of two DNR stream use assessments in October 1995.   Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed" due to lack of fish contaminant monitoring in this stream reach.
