Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment in Muscatine County.
Basis for Assessment
Used results of stream use assessment to assess support of B(LR) aquatic life uses as FST due to (1) habitat score (25) better than overall average habitat score (22) for all stream use assessmets & (2) fish score (11) better than 75th percentile for fish collections made with seines. Threats to support of uses include pasturing of riparian area and, to a lesser degree, NPS runoff from agricultural areas.
