Basis for Assessment
The assessments developed for the 1994 and 1996 reports were reviewed and approved by the DNR Fisheries Bureau. Thus, both the Class A (primary contact recreation) uses and the Class B(LW) aquatic life uses were assessed as PS due to nuisance levels of algae and organic enrichment in this naturally shallow lake.
