Documentation
Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment in Chickasaw County.
Basis for Assessment
Used information from stream use assessment site in Floyd Co. to make designated use support determination. Also used sampling information from one biocriteria site in Floyd Co. (Colwell Park). Assessment information and biocriteria data indicate the stream supports a good diversity of fish and has fairly good habitat. Habitat degradation, in the form of channel widening, stream bank destabilization and excessive sediment is a threat to biological health of stream.
