Comments:
Segmented due to abundant grade controls in reach and more step-pool like conditions. VHD shows 2 tributaries entering the West Branch in segment. Only one trib enters. The other one has been re-routed to enter trib perhaps. Good floodplain access, little erosion. Bridge 108 in segment has significant scouring of wingwalls on upstream and downstream end.
