Photograph 19. View west of streambank erosion on lower reach of Padgett Branch.

Photograph 20. View east of fill slope above river-left streambank of lower reach of Padgett Branch. The slope
was created by blasting for road building. Rock debris has been pushed into and is clogging the stream channel
resulting in the erosion of the river-right streambank shown above.
