Comments:
Segment is short section analogous to upstream segment T2.04-A. A case of mislocated Phase 1 reach break, due to VHD depicting incorrect location for RB tributary confluence. The actual confluence of the RB tributary is at / near the downstream end of this segment T2.03-D. Characteristics of this segment T2.03-D are very similar to upstream segment T2.04-A, whose cross section data has been referenced to assign an Administrative Judgement stream type of F3-PB. Valley narrows in this segment on approach to bedrock-controlled narrows in segment T2.03-C. A driveway was observed along the LB corridor at the top of a steep valley side slope. Segment corridors otherwise forested with trails for recreational access to the river. Flow bifurcates around a large, tree-covered island near downstream end of segment. Historic incision inferred due to breaching of mill dam (and local base level drop) located in segment T2.03-C (present in a c. 1880s photograph; subsequently breached perhaps in the 1927 flood). See Phase 2 report for more details.
