East Twin Lake IA 02-IOW-777

Assessment Comments

Assessment remains based on information from the IDNR Wildlife Bureau.

Basis for Assessment

SUMMARY/EXPLANATION:  The Class B(LW) aquatic life uses remain assessed (evaluated) as "fully supported” based on information from the IDNR Wildlife Bureau.   This assessement is the same as that developed for the 2004 and 2006 assessment/listing cycles.   The fish consumption uses remain "not assessed" due to the lack of water quality information upon which to base an assessment.  

Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed" due to the lack of fish contaminant monitoring.   In general, Iowa wetlands are not managed for recreational fisheries; thus, fish contaminant monitoring is not typically conducted at these waterbodies.
