Comments:
Segment undergoing significant incremental encroachment; flood chute at downstream end has been plugged; ford mid-segment is scouring (no bedrock present), and riprap placed just upstream of ford is likely to increase left bank lateral instability beneath recently placed carriage shed. Development at base of Monarch Hill continues to build fill further into floodplain, and windrowing at base of Town Pool Trib significantly increases pressure on the extremely steep valley wall beneath Rt. 110 on right bank where there is evidence of recent bank failure.
