Comments:
The valley wall on the right bank was not distinct. The ground gently sloped up for awhile and then got really steep. Bankfull was difficult to identify in the field and the bankfull elevation may be high relative to adjacent cross section (M07-A and M07-D). Phase 2 channel width was used to determine phase 2 confinement type because of the uncertainty associated with reference channel width (see phase 1 step 7).
