Documentation

Assessment Comments

Monitoring conducted in 1992 by ISU for Clean Lakes Classification study (1994).

Basis for Assessment

SUMMARY: The Class A (primary contact recreation uses) were "not assessed." Continued to assess support of the Class B(LW) aquatic life uses as "fully supported / threatened." Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed." EXPLANATION: The Class A (primary contact recreation) uses were "not assessed due to the lack of information on levels of indicator bacteria at this lake. The previous (1998) assessment of support of the Class B(LW) uses ("fully supported / threatened") was reviewed and approved by the DNR Fisheries Bureau in 2000. Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed" due to the lack of fish contaminant monitoring at this lake.
