Comments:
High incision ratio is due to historic terraces on both sides, but vastly diminished floodplain still permits sufficient floodplain access for C type stream. Evidence of beaver dam breaches US in Irene, several flood chutes (numerous were accessed or formed in Irene) had headcuts at the DS end. No Class 2 wetlands mapped along the stream but much of the US portion of this segment is Rumney soils - frequently flooded and hydric - that are contiguous with mapped Class 2 wetlands.
