Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment in Louisa County.
Basis for Assessment
Used results of the September 1994 DNR stream use assessment to assess support of the Class B(LR) uses as PS due to (1) habitat score (20) worse than the overall median score (22) for DNR stream use assessments, (2) field notes indicate "frequent" channel alterations (the type of alteration is not indicated, but notes on field sheet indicating "cattle ruin creek below bridge" suggest a pasturing impact). Fish score 12 is above 75th percentile for DNR stream use assessments made with seines, but the 7 species present do not indicate above average water quality or habitat.
