Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment in Iowa County.
Basis for Assessment
Used results of the May 1992 DNR stream use assessment in Iowa County to assess support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses as FST due to (1) habitat score (22) equal to the overall median habitat score for DNR stream use assessments, (2) notes on field sheet indicating that seining was difficult due to "numerous snags" (i.e., good habitat features), and (3) indications on field sheet of moderately diverse substrates and occurrence of several pool/riffle frequencies. As indicated on field sheet, support of uses is threatened by channel alterations and by unstable and eroding stream banks.
