Notes

The wetted bankful, hydro and flow can be skewed because there is a dam that has acquired in front of the culvert, which has slowed the flow, created a pool and slowed the speed of flow. See photos. Pileated Woodpecker and yellow rump Warbler on site. The other side of the culvert acquiring more sand and the rocks are blocking passage as the water is lower than the rip rap. The site is overgrown with vegetation. Since they cut it back along the gas lines, the original path is covered. If you approach and descend down the rock wall be careful of rock landslides. The rocks are slippery, the bank is soft- recommend wearing boots-
