The final air permit-to-install (eDoc 4132514, 2026-05-28) confirms the generator count and three-hall emission-unit grouping on a primary footing, but the per-engine ekW behind the disclosed 313 MW is redacted as trade secret.

The county website's edit history is disclaimed, not absent

Item 16 (the CMS audit trail for the Sanitary Engineering pages) was answered “no records — we don't manage the website,” yet the WordPress /revisions endpoint returns HTTP 401 (gated, not 404). The version history exists; custody sits with the host.

Open question Under review [open] Allen SWCD · item 3

Wetland determination: “no records” — but a produced inspection says otherwise

The SWCD answered “no records” for the 0.7-acre forested wetland (DSW401251760W), yet a produced site inspection records that “the existing wetland was mitigated.” A produced record contradicts the answer.

Open question Under review [open] Allen SWCD · item 4

Farm-tile drainage impact: “no records” — yet a failure is photographed

The SWCD answered “no records” on tile / agricultural-drainage impact, but the 2026-06-05 inspection documents an east farm-tile diversion-swale failure (photo captioned “East farm tile bypass”).

Open question Unanswered [open] Cross-production referral · item 9

Nobody owns the forcemain's MGD design capacity

The Hume / Shawnee forcemain's design capacity (item 9) is disclaimed by every county body — each points to Ohio EPA or the townships. Batch 2 produced the financing and the engineering contract, not the MGD figure.

Answer this → FORCEMAIN-MGD
Open question Unanswered [open] Allen County PRR · item 2 · narrowed

County ⇄ DoD / federal-contractor comms — narrowed to nothing

Item 2 sought County communications with DoD or federal contractors (GDIT, GDLS) about the American Township facility and corridor. The county narrowed the ask and returned “no records.”

Open question Unanswered [open] Allen County PRR · item 19 · owed

County ⇄ engineer-of-record (EMH&T) comms not produced

Item 19 sought County communications with EMH&T. None produced as to the Commissioners; the SWCD produced its own EMH&T emails, but the County's are still owed (it may supplement from Sanitary Engineering).

The grant instrument behind the $650k Lost Creek project

The funding source is verified — a GLRI subaward through Ohio EPA, OSU portion $327,450, term 2023–2025 — but the signed award instrument (deliverables, match, reporting) on the Maumee-headwater ag-runoff project is still owed.

Continuous flow and water-quality from three ISCO6712 sites would quantify the actual nutrient / flow reduction on Lost Creek (HUC12 041000070305). The load-reduction table is referenced on the captured SWCD page but not transcribed.

Open question Unanswered [inference] Hypothesis H2 · defense nexus

The campus's federal authorization posture is undisclosed

The Joint Systems Manufacturing Center (Lima Army Tank Plant) is co-located with the campus — documented geography under hypothesis H2 — but the campus's authorization posture (FedRAMP / DoD impact level) is undisclosed, so the causal link to the boom remains an inference.

Answer this → H2-AUTH
Claim Low confidence [inference] Hypothesis H1 · water & power

The consumptive cooling draw against the river's cited 7Q10

The Ottawa's design low flow is about 0.2 cfs (cited); the campus's consumptive cooling loss is the keystone of hypothesis H1. The measured draw against that 7Q10 is predicted evidence the record still needs to close end to end.

The corpus holds a **secondary** Allen SWCD summary of a \$650,000 ag-runoff retention/treatment grant (Project `ALLENSWCD-FDFARM22`) on **Lost Creek HUC12 041000070305** (a Maumee headwater 2.7 mi east of I-75) — baseline nutrient-burden context for the hydrology axis. The funding source is verified (GLRI subaward via Ohio EPA, OSU portion \$327,450, 2023-2025), but the primary instruments are not in hand. ### Scope — documents still owed (see audit §2 table) - **Grant agreement / award instrument** — the signed GLRI / Ohio EPA subaward (deliverables, match, reporting).

Two outstanding clusters from the county PRR production tracker (cover letter 2026-06-05). Production is rolling ("every Friday"); these are the items to watch in subsequent batches. This is an external-dependency tracking issue, not an engineering task. ### Item 4 — Project BOSC cost-benefit analysis (WITHHELD) Cost-benefit analysis / projected tax-revenue impact / public-ROI inputs & assumptions — withheld "being reviewed by our legal counsel for compliance with R.C. 149.43 and R.C. 9.66."

Track the disposition of the Level-2 wetland permit DSW401252260W (incomplete 2025-12-23)

## Context Open question surfaced by the permit-vs-disturbance sequence reconstruction (#150 / #153), observation **`level2-401-after-clearing`** in [`bosc-site-permit-sequence.yaml`](../blob/main/data/extracted/legal/prr-mandamus/bosc-site-permit-sequence.yaml). ## The question Was the broader **Level-2** isolated-wetland fill at the BOSC site authorized before the fill area was disturbed — and what is its current disposition? ## What the records show - The narrow **Category-1** isolated wetlands (0.33 ac) *were* authorized first: DSW401251760W, granted **2025-08-12** (before disturbance) — in-corpus (`permits/3788677`, `/3796349`). - The **Level-2** application (DSW401252260W) was received **2025-12-09** — the day after the first inspection records clearing/grubbing underway — and Ohio EPA declared it **INCOMPLETE** on **2025-12-23** (no practicable on-site alternatives analysis "for the entire site"; the delineation covers ~358 ac). In-corpus: `permits/3949585`. - **The corpus contains no later disposition** of DSW401252260W (a grep finds only the 2025-12-23 incompleteness letter). ## Deliverable Acquire the subsequent Ohio EPA 401/Wetlands/Mitigation correspondence for **DSW401252260W**: was a revised application submitted, and was it **granted or denied** — when, and at what fill scope? Add the disposition event(s) to the chronology in `bosc-site-permit-sequence.yaml` and ingest the record under `data/extracted/permits/`. ## Source Ohio EPA DSW 401/Wetlands/Mitigation Section (the same Joe Loucek / Heather Allamon / Rachel Secrest contacts on the in-corpus letters); or the Bistrozzi-permits production set.

gap(extraction): extract the LACRPC CAC agenda .jpg — first use of the #703 image path

**Follow-up to #703** (the raw image-source extraction path), now on `main`. #703 built the `.png/.jpg/.tif` read path but ran **no** live extraction — the path ships, nothing uses it yet. This is its first real use. ## Target `data/documents/lacrpc/meetings/20260120 CAC Agenda and Meeting Notice.jpg` — the one image-only source in the corpus (a Lima–Allen County Regional Planning Commission Citizens Advisory Committee agenda / meeting notice). Currently reference-only; the #703 path can now read it straight into the vision extractor (single image, no OCR hint). ## Scope - Run the live image extraction (`extract_document(doc, kind=…)` over the `.jpg`, via the new `_read_doc` image branch) → a reviewed artifact under `data/extracted/lacrpc/`. - **Open question — which kind/model.** This is a meeting agenda, not one of the six current doc kinds (deed/npdes/sos/epa/wetland/engineering). Decide before extracting: - map it to the LACRPC meetings/timeline layer (cf. `data/extracted/lacrpc/meetings/meeting-summaries.yaml`), or - add a light generic agenda/notice kind+model, or - capture it as a dated `TimelineEvent` source only. Prefer the smallest change that keeps the figure/text honest. - **Chain of custody:** the `.jpg` is immutable evidence — don't rename/alter the source byte. Record the canonical name + a content-verified date in the collection's alias manifest if one applies. - Validate the new extraction against `watermark.models` (`test_extracted_yaml_valid.py` must stay green). ## Why it's separate It runs the API (cost) and lands a **reviewed corpus artifact** — a deliberate, gated decision distinct from shipping the code path. Tag claims `[verified]` only against the extracted artifact once committed. ## Done when The LACRPC CAC agenda is a committed, schema-valid extraction under `data/extracted/lacrpc/`, sourced through the #703 image path, and (if it carries a date/parties) wired into the timeline/meetings layer.
