To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Arizona Public Records Law, I hereby request the following
records:

We are aware that air quality management agencies sometimes conduct
"exceptional event demonstrations," which are analyses to demonstrate that
emissions from potential exceptional events caused an exceedance of one or
more NAAQS. These demonstrations are then submitted to the Regional EPA
office in order to request that the office exclude the air quality
monitoring
data from use in certain regulatory determinations.

Concerning services related to these exceptional event analyses, we request:
1. Any and all executed contracts, memorandums of understanding (MOUs), or
other equivalent agreements that are currently active, or have been active
within the last five years;
2. Any addenda, amendments, attachments, exhibits, materials, and schedules;
3. Any and all correspondence, between the relevant air quality agency and
the contracting individual, corporation, or other entity, related to the
implementation of these agreements.

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.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look
forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days.

Sincerely,

Dillon Bergin

To: <requests@muckrock.com>

Hi Dillon,

We've received several copies of the attached request on different dates in
several sections here at the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.
Based on the verbiage in the request and a search and review of your open
requests (https://www.muckrock.com/accounts/profile/Dillon-Bergin/), it
appears that this request was sent to us by mistake and meant for a
different recipient:

Therefore, ADEQ will not be taking any further action related to this
request.

If there is something you need from the Arizona Department of Environmental
Quality, please let me know.

Thank you,
