Comments:
Many rip rapped and eroded areas may have been missed because they were masked by peak growth vegetation. High banks along hay field indicative of historical incision. Ditched wetlands in hay fields on right bank. VTrans highway garage and Wireform (only property in Tunbridge listed as 'Industrial') are elevated above floodplain along RVW. Trib rejuvenation may have been triggered on trib during Irene rather than being triggered by processes on mainstem.
