SITE 6 (RM 314.7)

Site 6 was a downstream chute channel formed at the bottom of side channel below Chew Bridge (RM
314.7). This backwater had an area of 480 m2 and a maximum depth of 3.6 ft. This backwater had a
slight flow-through during the initial mapping, which persisted throughout the winter. Ice formation was
not substantial. Even with the slight flow, this area would have been suitable nursery habitat during the
winter.
