Using information from the NOAA website the RLR diagram has been revised. Previous Primary benchmark 11 10.025m above gauge datum no longer appears in the NOAA reports. Secondary benchmark 4050 E 1982 7.498m above gauge datum appears both on the original RLR diagram and the NOAA report. Current Primary benchmark is 4050 Q 1998 16.455m above gauge datum.
