Dear Beryl Lipton,

I write regarding your Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request. In order for DEC to accurately search for the records you seek, we need you to give us more specific information describing the records. Please provide a date range for the information requested. If we do not receive your reply within one week of the date of this message, your request will be denied, because without the specific information or clarification this message seeks from you, the records are not "reasonably described" within the meaning of Public Officers Law §89(3)(a), and we will close out the request in our system.

If you have any questions, please call the FOIL Unit at (518) 402-9522 and refer to FOIL request #W060706-110519, or simply reply to this email.  Thank you.

Sincerely,
