Comments:
Banks were high throughout reach with no evidence of good floodplain access. Vegetated side bars within the channel provide a small amount of additional area at bankfull. The mid to lower segment flows through an area of mowed lawn with armoring on bends and fresh bank erosion in numerous locations. The meadow upstream of the lawn area has steep vegetated banks indicating some recent slumping. The reach is highly variable upstream of Rt 2, transitioning from E to Bc, to C, to Bc, and then back to C-type based on valley confinement and entrenchment. We did not add any additional segments due to the short channel lengths within each stream type change.
