Site Observations:

  1. Compound gradient in pipe
  2. Culvert gradient red
  3. Structural Problem
  4. Mechanical damage or joints parting
  5. Constriction ratio gray

Comments: This pipe has very deep fill. Overflow pipe above main pipe. There is a compound gradient in the pipe but the pipe is too damaged to measure it. No longitudinal profile. No minnow traps were set out
