Historic channel straightening is evident above the road crossing along the adjacent field. There is a significant amount of incision as well as aggradation occurring throughout the reach, suggesting stage III to IV of CEM. A review of historic impacts (aerial photos) reveals historic and current impacts from straightening, and redevelopment of sinuosity. Despite lower w:d ratio, channel is C type. However, any further incision and entrnchment could lead to a G-type channel. Large amounts of armoring have been placed at the outlet of the culvert under River Road to arrest old downcutting (evident).
