Impaired Water Notes
Sedimentation from past and present surrounding landuse and possible extirpation of native cold water species. The dam that forms Rock Falls Pond acts as a barrier that would prevent salmonid species from migrating upstream. Fish management recommended declassifying this segment as trout water due to warm temperatures. Temperature data from 2000 suggests cold water is found upstream from this reach.
