Hello,

Unfortunately your email was not recognized and has not been routed accordingly.  Please be advised that if you wish to submit a new request or check on the status of an already submitted request, you should visit the Description: TO: [newyorkdec@mycusthelp.net]February 25, 2016New York State Department of Environmental ConservationRecords Access OfficerNew York State Department of Environmental Conservation625 BroadwayAlbany, NY 12233-1500This is a follow up to request number W003269-020116 :Dear Ms. Earl,Thank you very much for sending these records. I would like to ask for a clarification regarding the data sent in response to this request, FOIL W003269-020116.In the dataset I've received, there are 490 facilities that are listed as having zero permitted capacity (column "Existing Annual Permit Limits" in the spreadsheet). Does this mean that the NYS DEC does not regulate the permitted capacity for these facilities? Or does it mean that this information is not available?In addition, there are 18 facilities listed in the dataset that have their permitted capacity listed but do not have the units for this capacity listed. I would like to ask for information information regarding the units for these facilities, if available.Let me know if you have any questions and thank you for your cooperation.Sincerely,Bernardo Loureiro---On Feb. 22, 2016:
