STATUS: An independent reader compares the copy with the source record. The current arrangement remains in place at the northern ridge survey path.

RECORD: the ridge transects and the notes attached to older stakes. The count is 36 survey points paired with a date and weather reading; the prior window recorded 35.

DISPUTE: The current transect records a wider canopy. Older notes were taken from a lower path and cannot be compared without adjustment.

OUTCOME: The hearing is still open and no permanent rule has changed.

NEXT: The Year fifth, canopy height window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The survey circle will publish a crosswalk between the old path and the new transect.
