I suggest this is not B caldwelli but more likely B fluviatilis. B. caldwelli has fine slender characteristics, rather than being robust, as this plant is: both leaves and involucral bracts look wider than is typical for caldwelli.
Previous sighting from this dam have been ID as B. fluviatilis.

Thank you, JaneR, I'll get a sample and have it identified by a botanist, to make sure.

Since the earlier sighting was identified by a botanist, I won't repeat the sampling.
