A review of the pact, spring marks and the field notes kept by both circles finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the boundary spring at Alder Pass. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: the downstream mark lags when the upper spring is measured after rain.
The the pact, spring marks and the field notes kept by both circles lists 19 draws recorded with both spring and downstream marks; the previous window lists 21. Thalen Moss checked both against dated copies from both parties compared with the work completed at the site. The source was checked against a second copy held by Thalen Moss. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
Upper stewards rely on the spring reading. Lower households rely on the mark that reaches their cistern. The office has not supplied a separate measure that would settle the disagreement, so the two explanations remain competing accounts.
This report supports a narrower finding: the count is repeatable, but it is not enough to decide how to divide a shared source when measurements are taken at different points in a rainfall cycle.
The clerk closes this file and gives the next season a fresh scope. The board closed this docket after it sent one separate question to a later public hearing without reopening this file. The next window starts with a fresh record.
