Ms. Turman,

To clarify, I am not seeking the state laws that govern the EMAC but copies of the specific EMAC/mutual aid agreement form(s) for the Dakota Access Pipeline Project. These EMAC/mutual aid agreement forms may be titled "Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) Interstate Mutual Aid Request for Assistance Form" and "EMAC Mission Order Authorization Forms"? Do you have copies of these completed agreement forms?

Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I could provide an example of this form if that will help clarifying this request.

Thank you,
Melissa

Hello Ms. Hill: I'm familiar with the EMAC forms. The release of those operational forms is also denied under SDCL 1-27-1.5 (5), 1-27-1.5 (8), 1-27-1.5 (12), 1-27-1.5 (17), 1-27-1.5 (22), and 1-27-1.5 (23).

Thank you,
Kristi Turman
