Assessment Comments
Assessment is based on results of (1) USGS/NAWQA monitoring (fish tissue and water) at Augusta.
Basis for Assessment
No violations from USGS monitoring station at Augusta for water years 1993 and 1994. All contaminants in sample of whole-fish carp collected for the 1995 RAFT program less than 1/2 the FDA action level. Thus, assess support of the Class B(WW) uses as FST due to known threats from agricultural activities.
