Questions that records can answer.
All questions remain open. A documented relationship does not establish misconduct, payment or completed repair.
What are we actually searching?
These are records targets, not claims of live automated searches or requests already filed. Each gap identifies its custodian, the evidence needed and why it matters.
Effects on people: what is documented?
We distinguish institutional financial effects from measured effects on people. Missing information does not establish injury or absence of injury.
Who is involved—and in what capacity?
All 22 parties and groups identified in this version. Inclusion means a documented role or a clearly labeled lead, not guilt, responsibility for every outcome or an exhaustive census.
Trace the relationships
Industrial water: Wynoochee → Lake Aberdeen → City of Aberdeen / county responsibilities → mill, Sierra Pacific and Port connections.
Electricity: SPI → PUD purchase; Wynoochee powerhouse → PUD transmission → BPA grid → Tacoma Power.
Historical Cosmo corporate chain: Gores Capital Partners II → majority interest in Cosmopolis Holdings → Cosmo. The Gores Group investment-manager/control role is disputed. December 2022 sale to Charlestown is described in party and agency accounts; originals still needed.
Cleanup and repair: Ecology / EPA → orders and verification → responsible entities; SPI decree → three sovereign project recipients. Payments and results require confirmation.
Aberdeen–Grays Harbor resource & responsibility review
Scope: industrial water, connected electricity systems, public finances, the Cosmo mill and Sierra Pacific. This is a bounded review of records already collected, with unresolved links preserved.
Industrial water: money received and spent
| Measure | 2024 audited cash basis | 2026 YTD management review |
|---|---|---|
| Service / operating receipts | $117,873 | $34,693 |
| Industrial-water reserve transfer | No transfer-in reported | $100,002 |
| Operating expenditure | $370,892 | $196,062 |
| Capital expenditure | $637 | $45,044 |
| Cash position | $253,560 annual cash reduction | −$46,718 reported operating cash |
2024 total revenue includes $96 miscellaneous receipts. The 2026 report is labeled second-quarter and presented June 22; the exact accounting cutoff needs confirmation. Do not compare operating cash with total enterprise reserves, or annualize YTD figures. Customer payment and volume records remain missing.

Corrections and further evidence
This is a dated evidence review. Source-level corrections, original contracts, payment records and verified outcomes can change these findings. The source register identifies the records supporting this version.
Research boundaries
No external request was submitted by this map. Prior requests and delivery records live separately. No private property addresses, personal account information, worker records or credentials are included. No parcel ownership, household subsidy, current leak or complete cleanup is asserted without the required records.
This report is a dated evidence snapshot. Updating the research files does not automatically update this map. The map can grow as new records, parties, places and verified outcomes are added.
