Comments:
Good bird habitat due to flood chutes dominated by boxelder and oxbow wetland; recent neck cut off. Landowner noted that buffers were cleared in the past, as recommended by SCS at the time. Multiple projects done in this segment, including buffer plantings and log vanes installed; deep pools forming around log vanes. Planform and geologic materials suggest E reference type; substantial widening and gravel substrate are believed to be changes due to straightening (particularly at bridge on US end) and mass failure with enhanced sediment transport, hence E-->C STD.
