Parameters Removed from the 2000 303(d) List: atrazine in finished drinking water Additional Information: The aquatic life, contact recreation, and general uses are fully supported. The fish consumption use was not assessed.

This segment was identified as a threatened water body on the 2000 303(d) List due to atrazine in finished drinking water. Because an insufficient number of atrazine samples in surface water were available in 2002 to demonstrate that the standard is no longer threatened, this segment will be identified as threatened for atrazine until sufficient data in surface water are available.
