    The document describes using the Log Pearson Type III method to estimate flood frequency and expected peak flood flows at different return periods. Key steps include calculating statistics like the mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of skewness from historical peak flood data. These statistics are then used along with the return period in distribution equations to estimate the expected flood for return periods ranging from 2 to 10,000 years. A flood frequency curve is plotted comparing the expected floods to return period.
