Comments:
Valley width decreased somewhat (and very locally) by LB residential driveway. LB pond was constructed between 1994 and 2003 based on review of aerial photos. Portion of tree buffer removed along LB opposite the renovated residential home between 1994 and 2003. Outlet from the pond (3 pipes directed from vicinity of pond along LB) were indexed as a stormwater input. Apparent wooden footbridge structure (previously washed out) was observed buried by sediment on a broad meander bend across from the LB residence. Channel armoring in vicinity of residence appears new. Effectively, Segment 10-A is a portion of downstream reach M09 in terms of reference and present stream type, condition, and degree of floodplain access (no incision). Therefore, cross section and pebble count data from downstream reach M09 were applied to M10-A.
