Moratorium records marked “Moratorium Nation” come from the Moratorium Nation inventory by Michael J. Bommarito, licensed CC BY 4.0; status follows that inventory, and we mark a record ended once its recorded end date has passed. Records marked “Siting Radar” are our own detections in public meeting documents: the status is the latest step we saw, with a link to the source. Not legal advice.
