Assessment Comments

Assessment is based on results of monitoring in 1990 and surveys by IDNR Fisheries Bureau.

Basis for Assessment

The assessments developed for the 1994 and 1996 reports were reviewed and approved by the DNR Fisheries Bureau.   Thus, both the Class A (primary contact recreation) uses and the Class B aquatic life uses were assessed as FST, with only slight threats to these uses from agricultural nonpoint sources.
