Comments:
A short segment from the confluence with the East Creek in Rutland City downstream to the Ripley Mills Dam. A geomorphic assessment was not possible on this reach due to the dam influence on the stream flow. Would likely be a C3/4 reach by reference. Dam is not in use and may be a candidate for breaching.
