Comments:
Bedrock grade controls account for bulk of slope change, low sinuosity but not much visible riprap- more historically? Major transmission line crosses and runs along stream mid-reach. Looks like there were some former farm-scale sand and/or gravel pits along LB, none open at this point - all vegetated. A bit unfortunate that x-sec did not capture the bedrock presence, but still believe gravel does represent overall reach d50.
