Comments:
Stream type departure from C to F due to channel alteration. Lack of buffer on both sides, but it is rejuvenating. Was probably also pasture for cows previously like downstream but currently not grazed. Plane bed subdominant and occurs downstream of culvert. Multiple revetments refer to hard bank and riprap. 2015 ASSESSMENT NOTES: In 2015, observed impacts were very similar to those recorded in 2011. The stream appears to have aggraded in this segment between the two assessments, as evidenced by bars that were not there previously. Also, the stream channel has continued to widen. Similar to 2011, R47S2.01-B was in both fair geomorphic condition and fair habitat condition.
