Air pollution permitting database

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Right to Know Act, I hereby request the following records:

The raw data or database - in a machine-readable database or spreadsheet format such as Excel, CSV, Access, SQL or XML - of all air or noise pollution complaints, submitted to Philadelphia's Air Management Services from January 1st, 2022 to December 31st, 2022.

The data should include all fields in the database or spreadsheets that contain non-exempt information, including but no limited to all fields in the example for provided by the Illinois EPA website and submitted with this request. I also request all documentation that describes the layout of the database’s tables and fields, and that provides the definitions of any field names, codes, and abbreviations used in the database. This information may be gathered together in a single document like a data dictionary, entity layout, or user's guide. If that is the case, I request access to and copy of said document.

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
