From: Dillon Bergin
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Nevada Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
We are aware that air quality management agencies like the the Division of Air Quality in the Clark County Department of Environment and Sustainability 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 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Dillon Bergin
From: Clark County Air Quality And Environmental Management

Hi,
Thanks so much for your help with this request! I really appreciate it.
We see the four items and the 25 items. With the initial production of 82 items, among these two requests we see a total of 111 documents.
Sincerely,
Molly Peterson & Dillon Bergin
From: Clark County Air Quality And Environmental Management
Hi Moly/ Dillon,
Unless some doubled you should on have the original 53 items plus a response letter =54 for email on June 22,2023. Then the additional items I emailed yesterday with 4 and 25 and a response letter for a total of 30. So, you should have 84 documents but 2 are letters from us. Do you want to send me a screenshot of items you are showing?
Thanks,
Pamela

Pamela! Was about to write. I can confirm 54 original files: I figured out why we had 25 too many; something happened in the download where we had duplicates for 25 of the 54 files, where the normal file was followed by six random letters. Eliminating those duplicates means we're all okay, back on track, and agree about what we have. Thank you so much!!
From: Clark County Air Quality And Environmental Management
Yay! Thanks Molly! Remember I sent 2 separate emails at 1st trying to split the 53 files and maybe some transferred over and you saved some. I then emailed all 53 using one drive. So I am guessing that is where the doubles occurred.
Please let me know if you need anything further.
Pamela
