Data point WA-UP was taken on an inter-stream island within the Deep River. It appears this area is not a
natural floodplain bench or levee but rather a result of the sloughing of the upland river bank into the
river. The river banks are steep in this vicinity and appear to be unstable.

Remarks:
No wetland hydrology indicators were observed at WA-UP. Inter-stream island is approximately 2
feet higher in elevation than the normal river elevation.
