Ability to modify 'Rational Method Frequency Adjustment Factor' for a specific catchment or range of catchments.

Currently there is only an option to add Rational Method Frequency Adjustment Factors for the entire storm, which affects all catchments. Our GDOT standards require modification of the factor for only C values less than 0.6.
