Comments:
...Segment location description continued from Step 0...but has a split channel. One channel follows the VHD stream layer, while the other extends out to the northeast of the stream layer. The upstream end of the segment is where this smaller channel enters the main channel. The main channel comes straight again. In this reach, we had several "D" braided channels. We did not do a cross section in this segment, but instead used a representative "D" channel cross section that was actually measured in M01-G. The pebble count from M01-G was also used for this segment.
