Stream use assessment in Grundy County.

Basis for Assessment

Used a review of the field sheet from the November 1990 DNR stream use assessment in Grundy County to upgrade the assessment of support of the B(LR) aquatic life uses to FS due to (1) moderately diverse fish community (13 species from 4 families) for headwater streams in the Iowan Surface subecoregion (47c), (2) presence of nearly all the expected fish taxa (9 of 11) for streams in this subregion, and (3) indications of relatively good habitat quality, even at the upstream boundary of the Class B(LR) reach where the DNR stream use assessment was conducted.   The data upon which this assessment is based are more than 5 years old.   Additional monitoring is needed to update this assessment.
