Assessment Comments
Assessment is based on results of fish tissue (RAFT) monitoring in 1996. Not part of ISU statewide lakes surveys.
Basis for Assessment
SUMMARY: The fish consumption uses of this new lake remain assessed as "fully supported." Other beneficial uses remain "not assessed." EXPLANATION: The fish consumption uses remain "fully supported" based on results of EPA/DNR fish tissue (RAFT) monitoring in 1996 (see assessment developed for the 1998 and 2000 reports above). The other beneficial uses remain "not assessed" due to lack of water quality information. This lake is not part of Iowa State University's statewide survey of 132 Iowa lakes.
