SITE 3 (RM 328.5)

Site 3 was a small downstream scour channel located on a mid-channel sand bar in Rainbow Park (RM
328.5). This backwater had an area of 110 m2 with a maximum depth of 1.3 ft. By February 24, changes
in channel morphology replaced this backwater with a uniform sandbar. No evidence of the original
habitat remained.
