Just a FWIW regarding the discussion below (about pin potential in the final drop/sequence on this run) . . . obviously the concerns about pinning here will be very flow-dependent. Unfortunately, we do not have gauge/flow records for the day that pin occurred (it was before the gauge datum). While we can talk about 'normal, scheduled flow' for various date ranges (as specified on the 'Flows' tab), we must recognizze that flows can vary significantly from those scheduled flows for a variety of reasons. It is likely that this pin potential exists for almost all 'normal, scheduled flows'. At the lower releases, it may be more easily avoided (as well as more easily escaped/extracted). At higher flows, it almost certainly becomes a non-issue, as it will be well-covered.
