Dear Mr. Sewell:
The Virginia Department of Transportation received your Freedom of Information (FOIA) request for records containing the terms: "Koch Performance Roads" and "CH2MHill" from January 1, 1997 through December 31, 2007. Please be advised section 2.2-3704 (A) of the Code of Virginia grants rights of access to public records to citizens of the Commonwealth. Since you are a citizen outside of the Commonwealth, we are denying your request for records. If you have a valid Virginia mailing address, please provide that information so that we may proceed with your request.
For your reference, I am providing you a copy of section 2.2-3704 (A) of the Code of Virginia below.
