Comments:
Step 2.8: IRraf would be 1.14 without the berm giving better access to the floodplain. IRhef=1.4 resulting in loss of floodplain access. Step 4.6: there is a dam in upstream R34B Step 7: major historic flow alterations reflect berming within the reach as well as the impacts from the upstream dam. Mass failures document in R34A may be source of sediment buildup observed in this reach.
