Comments:
Very unusual segment of stream - channel is exceedingly narrow, often only 1- 2 ft wide, and occasionally nearly disappears beneath slumped banks; no obvious levees along sides to help determine true bankfull width. May be altered wetland ditched around former barnyard; barn was removed sometime during late 2011 or early 2012, and late March 2012 color aerials indicate it was likely burned (later verified by Volunteer Fire Department, who used the burn for a training exercise). Vegetation heavily dominated by reed canary grass and wild chervil. Floodplain appears to have been quickly and easily accessed in Irene.
