Assessment Comments
Stream use assessment.
Basis for Assessment
Stream assessment forms indicate fairly good habitat quality and fish community where stream is meandering. Poor habitat and fish community where stream is channelized near confl. with South Skunk Rvr. Roughly 1/2 of B(LR) segment is meandering and 1/2 is channelized. Flow stability and impacts from Huxley STP are potential threats to integrity of aquatic community.
