Measurements 761 to 768 were used to develop this rating. For measurements 761 to 764 the gage height was temporarily swapped to the RP3 reading taken that day to compare how those measurements plotted on the new rating. 22.0 has an offset of 1.0 ft and transitions from section control to channel control from 2.60 ft to 2.80 ft. Extended rating to 5.0 ft will need higher measurements at new section to extend further. Low flow is uncertain, obtain GZF when possible to confirm offset.
