Assessment Comments

Stream use assessment in Buchanan County.

Basis for Assessment

Used a review of the field sheet from the October 1991 DNR stream use assessment in Buchanan County to change the assessment of support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses from FST to "not assessed" due to lack of sufficient information on the aquatic (i.e., fish) communities to develop an accurate water quality assessment.   Field sheet notes that too many snags and other debris were present to allow effective seining.   Additional monitoring is needed to better determine the status of the aquatic communities and habitats of this stream.
