Comments:
Segmented out due to the presence of relatively intact buffers and minimal post-Irene channelization compared to the rest of the reach. Woody debris playing a large role in sediment retention and pool formation, has potential to rebuild access to floodplain; few encroachments as well. Area under the Rte. 12 bridge was the exception to absence of channelization in this segment. Bridge at DS end of the segment (Spring Hollow Rd) was washed out in Irene, with LB abutment completely gone; does not appear to be a high priority for replacement, particularly with former house DS now gone and apparent access to ag fields from Tyson Justin Rd; possible candidate for removal? Ag fields (57 ac) also appear to be for sale as of Nov. 2013.
