Flow peaked at 2.5 ' to 3' above bankfull. At time of photo, debris line was noted approx 12" in elevation above current water surface. In photos above, the stage is crested at the elevation of the upper floodplain.

Erosion at top of rock vane, this was the worse situation observed during the flood.

Looking upstream, very minor erosion at top of bank
behind rock vanes. No vegetation present at time of storm
Next to lowest meander. Worse damage occurred here, but was also limited to very top of slope.
Lower end of the project. Left pic is looking DS at the tie-in point with the old channel, while the Right pic is looking US at the Cross Vane that leads into the last riffle. Point bars functioned well, and deposition was consistent with the design bankfull elevation. No erosion was noted on any structures in this section of the project.

Two views of lower project. Left pic is meander where the berm was removed, note minor erosion of the top of the bank but lower bank is intact and as constructed. Right pic is the point bar at the lowest portion of the project.
Left & Right--Two views looking downstream from bridge.. Right bank held very well even with minimal vegetation. Note that the flow is just below bankfull at the time of this photo.
