West Virginia over time
Every dated record we hold for West Virginia, bucketed by calendar year. Each panel names its own coverage: a line appears once a year carries enough observations to be a point rather than an anecdote, and says why it is empty when it is.
Safety index trend
West Virginia publishes no inspection record this pipeline can read, so there is no violation-rate line to draw here. Read that as a gap in what we can see, not as a finding. An empty inspection history is not a clean record.
