About a mile of trail relocation. A half mile spur to Cloudland Falls (currently adjacent to the trail) suggests the trail would be relocated far from the brook.

Just looking at a map, I would guess the relocation would leave the current route around 2050', run up the ridge south of the current route, and rejoin the trail at the switchback around 3050'. The spur leaving the new trail at and running along the 2600' contour to Cloudland.
