Assessment Comments
Assessment is based on results of a DNR stream use assessment in November 1994.
Basis for Assessment
Continued to use the assessment of support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses developed for the 1996 report (=PS). Review of the field sheet from the November 1994 DNR stream use assessment shows that only one fish species (fathead minnow) was captured during the assessment (although seining efficiency was hindered by large boulders in the stream). Follow-up monitoring is needed to determine the status of the aquatic communities and habitats and to determine the degree to which the Class B(LR) uses may be impaired.
