Comments:
Drew Rd./Strafford Rd. culvert is 5'x5', plugged and backed up in Irene as well as historically (1998, 1973); stonework has been repeatedly rebuilt, road foreman believes there are constraints on replacement because structure is historic. Stream dredged in rebuild of this culvert post-Irene. Old mill site at upstream end of Tuttle Rd. Horses have free access to water at stream crossing by Tuttles. Used +/-2 'fudge factor' on w/d ratio to class as C-type stream (current w/d ratio of 10.35 is technically within range of E-type stream) due to observation that low w/d ratio may indicate recent incision (Irene) through previous aggradation that had offset higher degree of historic incision and rebuilt some access to floodplain. In addition, sinuosity in this segment appears low, and gradient high, for a reference E-type stream.
