Comments:
Borderline Cb stream rather than B, but valley is relatively narrow (and suspected to be semi-confined naturally) in this segment, even without the heavy encroachment of Rte 110- encroachment and consequent incision restrict floodplain enough to push to C to B stream type departure. Gravel D50 for substrate and frequent riffle-pool type sediment deposits likely due to inputs from recent breaches of upstream beaver dams as well as gravel inputs from heavy road encroachment; suspect reference is cobble.
