Assessment Comments

Assessment is based on resutls of the 1995 UHL survey of water supply reservoirs (Miller and Kennedy 1995).

Basis for Assessment

SUMMARY:  The Class B(LW) aquatic life uses were considered "not assessed."  The Class C (drinking water) uses remain assessed as "fully supported / threatened."  Fish consumption uses remained "not assessed."  EXPLANATION:  The support of the Class B(LW) aquatic life uses were changed from "partially supported" to "not assessed" due to the lack of recent information on the status of aquatic life at this lake.   The assessment of support of the Class C (drinking water) uses remains based on the UHL survey of water supply reservoirs in 1995 (Miller and Kennedy 1995) (see assessment developed for the 1996 report).   Fish consumption used remain "not assessed" due to lack of fish contaminant monitoring at this lake.
