Assessment Comments
Assessment is based on results of water quality monitoring conducted in 1997 by the state of Minnesota.
Basis for Assessment
Used assessment of support of the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses developed for the 1996 report, along with results of WQ monitoring nr Ceylon, MN (approx 4 miles N of the Iowa/Minnesota state line) to assess the Class B(WW) aquatic life uses as FST. One of the 10 samples collected at this monitoring station between October 1996 and September 1997 violated the Class B(WW) WQ criterion for dissolved oxygen (=10% violations which indicates FS according to the 1998 Section 305(b) guidlines (see p. 3-35).
