Comments:
The segment is located in a broader valley than Segment B. It is highly affected by the Hardwood tributary. The area is characterized by having abundant wetland and seeps and perhaps most of the area belong to a deltaic system. S.Pealer, RMP. The cross section is very close to the tributary confluence. It was difficult to find a suitable cross section location on the segment without being close to the trib. In the cross section, the elevation at(-9.4, 4.05) is actually the trib channel. Therefore, the main stem cross section is less than ideal.
