Comments:
Breached dam(?) - 11.6 ft high concrete vertical wall - in RB corridor at wp393. Foundation remnants along LB. Beaver dam in Mill Brook trib near confluence with Wells Brook at u/s end of reach. Delta at Wells Bk confluence w/ Mettowee River - not indexed since it would be indexed for the Mettowee reach, M01. Drainage area doubles w/in the reach w/ acceptance of Mill Brook trib. Confluence of Mill Bk appears to have shifted u/s in recent years based on comparison of 199x & 2003 aerial photos.
