Comments:
Upstream 600' by breached dam could have been included in Reach M03- wider channel, infrastructure. Pasture fenced right to bank at 14 Russell Rd LLC, mass and bank failures common. Nice healthy big elm near cross section. Alluvial fan may be glacial related. Oxbow wetland and terrace shapes indicate likely migration of channel across entire valley floor over time.
