Impaired Water Notes
Fish surveys found six creek chubs at CTH N (SWIMs ID = 10021697) and no fish were collected upstream at Selmer Road (SWIMs ID = 10021698). Fish IBI ratings would be very poor due to the lack of fish collected during the surveys. Qualitative habitat ratings were poor and fair at CTH N and Selmer Road, respectively. The stream at both locations was incised and relatively wide and shallow. Substrate consisted of sand and no fish cover was observed within the survey station. The lower site was heavily grazed and the upper site had cropfields near the riparian area. Macroinvertebrate samples were collected but results were not available by this report date. Gammerus were observed in very high numbers at both sites during the fish surveys.
