Assessment Comments
Assessment is based on an IDNR summary of trout reproduction.
Basis for Assessment
SUMMARY: The Class B(CW) coldwater aquatic life uses were assessed as "fully supported / threatened" (minor impacts). Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed." EXPLANATION: Based on a summary of trout reproduction in Iowa streams prepared by the DNR Fisheries Bureau, the Class B(CW) uses were assessed as "fully supported / threatened." According to Moeller (1999), Dousman Creek is in the category of Iowa trout streams that have at least some documented natural reproduction but that are generally unable to maintain a viable trout population at this time. Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed" due to lack of recent fish tissue monitoring in this stream reach.
