Comments:
Reach is dominated by runs; small sediment deposits, water fills channel through most of the Reach. Old terraces and geologic materials suggest E reference type, but longstanding straightening and gravel substrate due to enhanced sediment transport - hence E-->C STD. Lack of grade controls has allowed for incision, apparently offset by aggradation but not setting up as prominent bed features (heavy contributions of sand from eroding banks in next seg US). Cattle have access to water on S end of Twin Farm by trib.
