Dear Ms. Huddleston,
I believe DEQ said it would take no longer than 15 days to provide public information. This request has been approved for a fee waiver and now it in the overdue territory. When will I get the records I request for Bear Creek Recovery?

Subject: Oregon DEQ Public Record Request: Hansen7494 Fee Waiver
Dear Ms. Hansen,
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality is providing Bear Creek Recovery with a waiver of fees associated with your record request(s), Hansen7494, received by DEQ on January 24, 2018.
DEQ approves waivers/reductions according to criteria in the Department of Administrative Services’ Public Records Request Fees and Charges policy and the Oregon State Attorney General’s Public Records and Meetings Manual.
DEQ will apply costs for record retrieval, sorting, reviewing or copying to the fee waiver/reduction, except for third-party vendor costs. DEQ uses third-party vendors in circumstances such as: copy jobs of a specialty nature, or when records need to be reviewed by DEQ attorneys for exempt (non-releasable) information.
Any amount owed above the waiver/reduced amount, or third-party costs, must be paid before we release the records to you. We will be happy to work with you to narrow the scope of requests or make the files available for your review. This will allow you the opportunity to copy only the specific information you require.
If you have any questions, please contact me at huddleston.dana@deq.state.or.us or 541-687-7339.
Thank you,
Dana Huddleston
