Comments:
An area of extreme incision was noted in a short section in the upper reach (see second cross-section). Upstream incision was above the footbridge (almost G-type channel w/ IR = 1.8). RGA score for degradation accounts for this observation. Width measurements were taken in areas of herbaceous cover in forested areas. Avg. width in herbaceous cove r= 4.2feet; avg. width in forest/shrub = 5.9 feet; 40 percent larger.
