Comments:
Another B3 stream by reference. This reach has incised historically. At one point it may have been a G type channel, however, due to channel widening is now an F type stream. Development of a new floodplain through planform adjustment, flood chutes, bar formation, etc. is occuring. This reach has a very healthy forested corridor. This reach has the potential for only limited water and sediment attenuation due to the semi-confined valley through which it flows and its slope. A high energy system with good habitat.
