Assessment Comments
Assessment based on water quality monitoring.
Basis for Assessment
13 samples were analysed; only 6 were collected at approximately average flows; of these, 2 had levels of FCB that exceeded Class A criterion. Due to lack of data points, use BPJ to assess as PS. (Note: Shell Rock R at Gordonsville had was sampled on the same dates as the Austin site but had much lower levels of bacteria.)
