Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment in Cerro Gordo County.
Basis for Assessment
Used results of the November 1990 DNR stream use assessment to assess support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses as FST due to (1) habitat score (26) much better than the overall median score (22) for DNR stream use assessments, (2) indications on field sheet of very diverse substrates, numerous pool/riffle sequences, only isolated channel alterations, and relatively stable stream banks, (3) fish score (12) better than the 75th percentile score (10) for stream assessments made with seines, and (4) notes on field sheet: "good habitat and clear water," "good population [of fish] in runs and pools."
