Comments

Departure - E5 Dune-Ripple to C4 Riffle-Pool due to widening and aggradation. Heavy ag area frequently has diminished or missing buffers, and legacy sediments behind historic dam at base of reach have left high banks that contribute to the aggradation. Undercuts not fully evaluated, low counts due primarily to soil types.
