Assessment Comments

Assessment is based on results of water quality monitoring conducted in 1997 by the state of Minnesota.

Basis for Assessment

SUMMARY:  The Class B(WW) aquatic life uses remain "fully supported / threatened."  EXPLANATION:  Continue to use the assessment developed for the 1998 report (see above) that was based on results of water quality monitoring near the Iowa / Minnesota state line.   The results of this monitoring are less than 5 years old and thus can be used to assess current water quality conditions.
