Assessment Comments

Stream use assessment in Lee County.

Basis for Assessment

Used a review of the field sheet from the April 1992 DNR stream use assessment in Lee County to change the assessment of support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses from FST to "not assessed" due to lack of information on the biological communities of this stream.   Although the field sheet indicates very good quality aquatic habitats, sampling for fish was not conducted due to prevalence of rocky substrates.   Additonal monitoring is needed with other gear types to better determine the status of the aquatic communities of this stream.
