Comments:
An E5 Ripple-dune system flowing through agricultural land downstream of the Great Falls in Proctor to the confluence with Furnace Brook in Pittsford. The reach has excellent floodplain access. Great silver maples line much of the banks. Removal of riparian vegetation as well as extensive historic channel straightening have impacted the habitat of this reach. The reach is exhibiting evidence of planform adjustment, minor widening, and aggradation. Maintaining hydrologic connectivity with the old oxbows, increasing buffer width, and preventing floodplain encroachment would be important projects in this reach. Also note: silt in bed and banks unconsolidated.
