Assessment Comments

Assessment is based on results of surveys by IDNR Fisheries Bureau.

Basis for Assessment

Changed the assessment of overall support of the Class B(LW) aquatic life uses from "not supporting" to "partially supporting" at the recommendation of the DNR Fisheries Bureau.   DNR Fisheries indicated that the water quality impairments identified for the lake (aquatic plants and organic enrichment due to natural shallowness and nutrient recycling, with a stable WQ trend) were still accurate.
