Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment in Marshall County.
Basis for Assessment
Stream assessment form indicates below average habitat quality. Very little diversity of substrates and no pool/riffle sequences observed. Frequent stream bank erosion and sedimentation impacts noted. Stream is meandering in lower reaches but frequent channelization was observed in general use segment. Fair diversity of fish observed. Sampling effectiveness may have been affected by turbidity.
