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 and biological impairment was observed. Available fish sample data were assessed; at least one fish Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) scored in the poor condition category, however available macroinvertebrate sample data did not indicate impairment (i.e. no macroinvertebrate IBI scored in the "poor" condition category).
