2) A detailed summary of each water quality complaint, including:
2a. The date of the complaint
2b. The location (address or nearest cross streets) of the complaint

If any of this information is available in electronic format, I kindly request that you provide it via email. If physical copies are necessary, please inform me of any copying or postage fees in advance, and I will make arrangements for payment.
If any portion of this request is denied, please provide a detailed explanation for the denial and inform me of any appeal procedures available under New York State law.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
