Graph of Transect 36 at Big Rapids

Graph of Transect 36 at Big Rapids

Bed profiles measured at transect 36 show that there was some change in bed elevation between the pre-dam remnant removal(4/18/2000) profile and the profile made about two months after the removal(10/16/2000). This section of the river is still impacted by the 1966 removal. The profile made a year after the dam-remnant removal(9/4/2001) shows that the deeper channel has been filled in and a layer of sediment has been deposited over most of the riverbed. These are, in part, finer sediments that were mobilized by the dam remnant removal.
