Assessment Comments

Stream use assessment in April 1992.

Basis for Assessment

Used a review of the field sheet from the April 1992 DNR stream use assessment to change the assessment of support of the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses from FST to "not assessed" due to lack of information on the aquatic communities of this stream.   Notes on field sheet indicate that water was too deep to seine.   Additonal monitoring with other gear types is needed to better determine the status of the aquatic communities of this stream.
