Comments:
A C3b system by reference. It is likely that in reference condition the channel would have more defined pools and riffle heads. Historic channel incision has created a planebed stream. There is no indication of why the channel may have incised as there is bedrock grade control at the upper and lower end of this reach. The river corridor is mostly forested with residential encroachment near the lower end.
