<br /> Photo 8: Upper main channel. End of the mining area was just beyond the dense grove of
<br /> y ung cottonwoods growing in the stream channel. Sand encroachment is coming from
<br /> igration of sand downstream from the channel and adjacent lands up to about 2 miles (and
<br /> aybe more) upstream from this location. Heavy stream flows after large thunderstorms
<br /> cause the migration. However, vegetation in the channel continues to develop, thanks to the
<br /> removal of grazing from the riparian corridor.
