Comments:
Short segment broken out due to more confined valley than further downstream.Post-Irene debris visible 15' up in trees. Appears widened and sedimented with some limited step formation but dominant plane bed. Field-assessed slope estimate of 2-4 pct differs from GIS calc of ~1.3 pct, but slope and narrowly confined valley are a fit for disorganized plane bed reference type. Hard to know if plane bed is true reference or this is due to aggradation, however; believe Irene may have scoured then filled valley, eliminating signs of incision. Lacking signs of incision, have used +/- 0.2 'fudge factor' for Entrenchment Ratio to classify as B type stream with no stream type departure (ER of 1.2 is technically low enough for an F type stream).
