Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment in Jones county.
Basis for Assessment
Used a review of the field sheet from the September 1991 DNR stream use assessment in Jones County to continue to assess support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses as FST due to (1) presence of a moderately diverse fish community (12 species from 2 families) for streams in the Iowan Surface subecoregion (47c), (2) presence of a majority of the expected fish taxa (8 of 11) for streams in this subregion, and (3) indications on field sheet of above average habitat quality due to diverse substrates, presence of numerous pool/riffle sequences, and lack of significant impacts to the physical characteristics of this stream. The data upon which this assessment is based are more than 5 years old. Additional monitoring is needed to update this assessment and to determine the status of the aquatic communities of this stream.
