Comments:
Extensive Berming indicates historic dredging and probable straightening. Roadway parallels much of reach on right bank and subsequent bank armoring on right bank. Roadway often confines right bank flood plain access. According to Fred Nicholson, DEC Stream Alt. Engineer, dredging likely occurred historically throughout the reach; exact locations are unknown. There are 3 bridge or culverts structures indexed in FIT for the reach. It is unknown whether they are constrictions.
