The Upstream area of this section seemed clean, with quick running water. The soil along the bank was solid.
The midstream area contained faster running water. The banks seemed in good shape. There was some trash from parking lots, but this was not a major issue.
The midstream area contained the most trash, but there was not a lot of build-up.
The left hand bank going upstream is entirely undeveloped and is in good shape, consiting of mostly low shrubs and some wetlands down to the water's edge. The right back area is extensive wetlands bordered by railroad track and the backs of businesses along Rte. 2A. Some trash sites and runoff from parking lots behind businesses affects the wetland, but these sources are some distance from the streambed.
