One large debris jam at bottom of reach is causing widening and a flood chute around it. Two areas w/ old bridge abutments constrict the channel. Where these abutments are constricting flow there is aggradation occurring above, and scour and degradation below. Further, more detailed field assessment would be necessary to determine the degree to which the old abutments are affecting the (linear length) of the channel. Removal of structures and active restoration in channel may improve riffle habitat in lower section of reach. Further discussion on this topic is found in the Phase II documenation and summary (separate pdf).
