Assessment Comments

Assessment based on lake monitoring and 1996 RAFT results.

Basis for Assessment

Used assessments of support of the Class A primary contact recreation uses (=FST) and the Class B(LW) aquatic life uses (=FST) developed for the the 1994 report.  Support of fish consumption uses was upgraded from FST to FS due to results of the 1996 Regional Ambient Fish Tissue (RAFT) monitoring program that showed levels of all contaminants in the composite sample of largemouth bass fillets were less than 1/2 of the respective FDA action levels.
