Assessment remains based on information from the IDNR Wildlife Bureau.

Basis for Assessment

SUMMARY:  The aquatic life uses remain assessed (evaluated) as "fully supported" based on information from the IDNR Wildlife Bureau.   Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed."  This is the same assessment as that developed for the 2004 assessment/listing cycle.

EXPLANATION:  The aquatic life uses remain assessed as "fully supported" based on information from the Iowa DNR Wildife Bureau.  

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