Retired Segments

Retired segments are removed from the assessment lists. Reasons for retirement, details, and assessment history for these retired segments are preserved below.

Onion Creek IA 02-IOW-6361
from mouth (SE1/4 S23 T83N R16W Tama Co.) to headwaters in S6 T83N R15W Tama Co.
Not in Surface Water Classification (SWC) document. There are only ~ 0.8 miles of this stream not on tribal lands before it “starts” at a large pond near the headwaters. The mouth is completely within tribal land. IADNR will never assess this segment, as it doesn't have primacy on tribal land.
