Insufficient water quality information available to assess use support.

Basis for Assessment

Note:  Prior to the 2008 Section 305(b) cycle, this stream segment was classified only for general uses (although prior to 1990, this segment was designated for Class B(w) aquatic life uses).   Due to changes in Iowa’s surface water classification that were approved by U.S.  EPA in February 2008, this segment is now presumptively designated for Class A1 (primary contact recreation) uses and for Class B(WW1) aquatic life uses.   According to the Iowa Water Quality Standards, all perennial rivers and streams and all intermittent streams with perennial pools that are not specifically listed in the Iowa surface water classification are designated as Class A1 and Class B(WW1) waters.  

Insufficient water quality information available to assess use support.   Thus, this waterbody is considered Not Assessed.
