This site is located downstream of a USGS gage station. On June 13, 2000, USGS provisional data (subject to revision) measured a gage height of 20.69 feet, the highest historical height. The streambank in the area of restoration showed no severe erosion from the flooding, while areas upstream and downstream showed severe erosion. The three photos below were taken one month after the flooding.

	Following a spring flood event that damaged the initial restoration effort, rock rip rap was installed to add increased stability and protection to the toe of the slope. These photographs were taken two years after the restoration activity began.
