Exceptional event demonstration contracts (New Mexico Environment Department)

It is a clone of this request.

Multi Request Exceptional event demonstration contracts
Status
Completed

Communications

From: Dillon Bergin

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act, 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 15 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Dillon Bergin

From: New Mexico Environment Department

Good afternoon,

Air Quality Bureau records responsive to your IPRA request of May 30, 2023 are now available. Due to the size of the files I will send them using kiteworks, the replacement for Accellion Secure File Transfer. Note that kiteworks will prompt you to create an account in order to download the records, and the records will only be available for two weeks, so we recommend downloading them once you receive that message. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,

A fix is required to perfect the request.

From: Molly Peterson

Hi Laurie,

We have reviewed the records you have provided that are responsive to our request. We wish to clarify whether any contracts for external support on exceptional events, and attending documentation of such a relationship, exist. We ask for this clarification because we do not see any such responsive documents in the provided response.

Thank you,

Molly Peterson
