REVISIONS HISTORY - 10/25/2018 to 10/17/2019 was revised to remove a +0.02 ft datum correction. The correction was removed from the Gage height time-series, all staff gage (SG) readings, and all measurement gage heights (excluding the 10/25/2018 visit). It was determined that the staff reference gage has remained stable and the correction was due to an error in reading an elevation from the staff gage at a prior date.
