Mr. Neef,
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) received the three attached data requests from you on February 6 and February 7. Pursuant to the DNR's public data access policy (copy attached), the DNR will proceed with completing search and retrieval for the requests in the order in which they were received.
Regarding the February 7 request for any records that mention Michael Harrington, Line 3 Security Team Lead and/or Enbridge: conducting a search for both terms together is relatively straightforward. However, is it your intent to search for any record where "Enbridge" is the only term? If that is the case, the search will cast a vast net and most likely will result in a large number of records unrelated to Line 3.
Note that copy costs will apply to all search and retrieval time, i.e., the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act does not exempt noncommercial users from applicable charges. If you want to clarify your intent or narrow your request that will help us provide the records you want and reduce your costs. (Copy costs attached.)
The DNR notes that these requests do not involve a request for data by a data subject, and, thus are not subject to a 10-day compliance period. As noted above, the DNR will proceed with each request in order and contact you once the data has been gathered and advise you of any related costs. Once the costs have been paid, the DNR will provide the data electronically and move on to the next request. For any future data requests, please send them directly to the following address: datarequest.dnr@state,mn.us<mailto:datarequest.dnr@state,mn.us>
My Best,

Sheila Deyo,
I would like to remove "Enbridge" from the search and narrow it to just Michael Harrington, Line 3 Security Team Lead.
Thank you,
