Assessment Comments

Stream use assessment in Linn County.

Basis for Assessment

Used a review of the field sheet from the August 1991 DNR stream use assessment in Linn County to change the assessment of support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses to "not assessed" due to lack of sufficient information for developing an accurate assessment.   That is, problems with seining in rocky habitats prevented securing a good sample of the fish species that inhabit this stream.   Additional monitoring is needed to better define the status of the aquatic communities.
