This photo from our second cross section is an example of significant changes to the river. Data was collected from this location in 2009 from a manned boat, with no issue. Upon return to the same cross section in 2013 we found a 2-4 ft hydraulic feature exposed. Backwater from the Great Works Dam hid this feature previously.
