(NC0024392): 2017 Summary.
Dear Mr. Ray:
Thank you for your recent submittal of the 2017 data for this facility. Based on a review of the data
provided, we find little to no water chemistry impacts, and in terms of fish community, there appears to be
little to no impact from either facility on the fish community with no apparent temporal trends in relative
abundance, similar pollution tolerance mixes between zones, and RIS species data show similar
evidence of reproduction in each zone. Overall, based on these data, it appears that the fish community is
currently meeting the BIP requirements for this waterbody.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Cyndi Karoly
Chief, Water Sciences Section
