Impaired Water Notes
This water was assessed during the 2018 listing cycle; new total phosphorus sample data overwhelmingly exceed 2018 WisCALM listing criteria for the Fish and Aquatic Life use, however, available biological data do not indicate impairment. New fish sample data and existing macroinvertebrate sample data were assessed, however, no macroinvertebrate or fish Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) scored in the "poor" condition category.
