Retained September 22, 2026; heading September 2025. Pages 1–3 visually checked against text from the same file. The entitlement list distinguishes diversion quantities from consumptive-use quantities and includes limiting PPR footnotes. Those quantities should not be combined as though they measure the same thing. Not a certification against all later amendments.
