As a result, a portion of the associated costs will be included under Task 12. (1) Extremely dense forests of phragmites and other vegetation at several sites has significantly slowed the survey crews. (2) Access to some sites has been extremely difficult and time consuming, especially in areas that have dense vegetation and no established trails or roads. These areas required a significant amount of time on foot and ATV to find a route into and out of the survey sites. (3) A number of sites have more than one active channel which required surveying. These back channels and braid channels are often separated from the main channel by heavily vegetated islands that require crossing on foot. These channels are not those identified as split flow channels requiring surveys as defined in the protocol. (4) High flows ( >1,000 cfs) on a couple of days precluded the sediment sampling crew from obtaining bed and bank material samples at several sites because of deep flow depths and high velocities. (5) Extreme weather (including lightening) that has delayed field crews from conducting the field work. (6) Access issues have caused the crews to bypass and then return to a few sites which results in some additional field time. (7) The additional time required to contact landowners regarding upcoming access each day. (8) Equipment (boat) problems resulting from the low flows that followed the short duration high flows in April have delayed the completion of the longitudinal profile survey.
