Basis for Assessment
SUMMARY: The Class B(LR) aquatic life were considered "not assessed." EXPLANATION: The previous assessment of support of the Class B(LR) uses ("fully supporting / threatened") was based on results of an August 1992 DNR stream use assessment. These data are now considered too old (greater than five years) to be useful for assessing current water quality conditions. Thus, the assessment for the 2000 report was changed from "fully supported / threatened" to "not assessed."
