Comments:
No apparent channel straightening. Channel very sinuous and located down in a steep-side sloped valley. Likely that no historic alterations have occurred here b/c of the setting A very short section of this reach just below Rt. 7 is a cascade with a significant waterfall (grade control). Despite this change in elevation, overall slope of reach is very low which reflects its very low gradient. It was not considered necessary to segment this waterfall since it is a very insignificant portion of the reach. But it it important to note for grade control of both M03 and M04.
