Assessment Comments
Assessment based on information from the IDNR Wildlife Bureau.
Basis for Assessment
SUMMARY: The aquatic life uses remain assessed (evaluated) as "fully supported / threatened" (minor impacts) based on information from the IDNR Wildlife Bureau. Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed."
EXPLANATION: The aquatic life uses remain assessed as "fully supported / threatened" based on information from the Iowa DNR Wildife Bureau (see assessment for the 1998 and 2000 reports for more information).
Fish consumption uses remain "not assessed" due to the lack of fish contaminant monitoring at this wetland. In general, Iowa wetlands are not managed for recreational fisheries; thus, fish contaminant monitoring is not typically conducted at these waterbodies.
