Comments:
This segment is set in a wide alluvial valley that has been historically used for hay production. Banks have dense WAD and herbaceous cover. Two crossings were observed, the first at the road that goes to Robinson Cemetery and the second crosses Brook Road. Both are constrictions to the bankfull and floodplain flows. The upstream end of this segment downstream of the crossing (~300') was enclosed by a temporary electric fence. Within the fenced in portion a large bull was free to graze and roam within the channel causing the natural E-type channel morphology to change as the banks slump.
