Nothing on record as of September 10, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Crane PDX02 in Forest Grove, Washington County, Oregon appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

Which document closes each gap
Cooling method and water use
The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.

The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
