Comments:
Phase 1 data said straightening, however, no evidence of straightening observed in the field. A B3 step-pool system that has evidence of historic incision. This incision has led to a predominately plane bed system with step-pool being subdominant through much of the reach. This is a high energy reach with some capacity for floodwater and sediment storage, but is mostly an energy transfer reach.
