Stream use assessment.
Basis for Assessment
Used results of the October 1992 DNR stream use assessment in Emmet County to assess support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses as FST due to (1) habitat score (24) better than the overall median score (22) for DNR stream use assessments, (2) fish score (10) equal to the 75th percentile score for stream assessments made with seines, (3) indications on field sheet of diverse substrates, several pool/riffle sequences, only isolated channel alterations, and relatively stable stream banks. Field sheet suggests that continued support of the aquatic life uses is threatend by over-pasturing of the riparian zone.
