- Bar building not directly linked with sand concentrations as hypothesized
- Long-Term average size of sand deposits along the channel margin depends on how much deposition occurs during each flood, how much erosion occurs between each flood, and how frequently the floods occur.
- Concentrations of suspended sand less than anticipated, due to (prior) equalization flows.
- 2012 flood resulted in sandbar building, similar to observations in previous controlled floods.
- (2012 HFE) Bar building not as widespread as 2008.
