General Information

File Review

The District prepares and retains files and records in the normal course of air quality regulation and related activities. These files and records are open for inspection and review by the public during normal business hours. You are not required to complete this PRA form in order to review our files, however, it is recommended that you call in advance to schedule an appointment because (a) we might not have any records related to the site or company you are interested in; or (b) some of our records are archived in boxes, so we would have to pull specific files. If during your review you identify any documents that you want copies of, the District can make copies for you at our standard copy charge of $0.25 per page.

PRA Request

If instead of a file review, you are seeking a copy of a specific identifiable record (e.g. copy of Permit to Operate for a ABC Company, copy of any documents or files related to 123 Main Street, Anytown), you can submit a PRA request, and the District will make copies for you at our standard copy charge of $0.25 per page. A written request is not required, but this PRA form may help if your request is complex. Please be specific about the document(s) you are requesting. “Records” only include documents which already exist, not which must be created. Certain types of records or part of records (e.g. preliminary draft documents and notes, complainant information, attorney-client documents, personnel documents) are exempt from disclosure.

For PRAs, you will receive a response from the District within 10 days after the receipt of the request. We recommend that you print the above page for your reference before sending the District the request form.

Information Request

If you are seeking information that is not contained in an existing identifiable record (e.g. list of all gas station permits in our District along with contact information), but rather would require the District staff to research and/or compile information, the District will reasonably accommodate the request. However, this will be done at the District’s standard time and materials labor rate according to District Rule 4.1, Section 307.10. Depending on the total charges, pre-payment might be required. For information requests, you are required to use this form.

If the record is for a facility which our agency regulates, provide the information you know about the facility.

Time period of document(s) requested:
