Tiffany,
I don't use outlook much - don' even know if I can use it but do have 2003 version - and I would ask that DEQ come up with some kind of links that will be universal for all. I have no idea yet about all the ways we may want to share whatever is in this package but it needs to be easy to transmit all the information to commissions, our members, agencies, news media if we decide it is necessary to do so. I know the tech staff at Oregon's Land Division kindly set up a link for a report that was way too big for normal people to download. They just divided it into links we could click on and agreed to leave it up for a stated period of time. We are extremely concerned about the delay in enforcement and will likely wish to share with policy makers so please make certain these links can be used by the most common computer programs. People won't read them if they have to struggle.
I'll again point out that my request was for electronic transmission, that we quickly jumped though all the extra vetting when asked about our waiver request, waited now a month to get the information so we expect DEQ to provide information in easy to use, easy to transmit widely form. That was the biggest point of the waiver questions - how would we share. We can't share if it isn't easy to transmit electronically and easy for the recipient to open and read.
Thanks for working for better public transparency.

Hi Susan
Yes, the CD is on its way to you and our IT Dept is going to set up an FTP site for me where I can post the files for you to retrieve. Many of these files are in their original form as emails in Microsoft Outlook. Will that work for you? Do you have Outlook? If not I’d have to print them and scan into .pdf. There are also MS Word documents in the files you will receive.

Tiffany, If I understand this correctly, there will be a disc in the mail AND there will be some kind of links created that can be sent by email once the tech people get that done. I requested electronic and after the big q and a about the waiver/ sharing issue on this, it is necessary that DEQ find a way to send the files so they can be easily shared. A CD is not a format that lends itself to sharing. I look forward to getting whatever electronic links the tech dept can create. Have a good vacation. Susan

Hi Susan
A CD was put in the mail today to fill this request but I understand from Melissa Aerne that you’d like to access these files through a FTP or other, similar site. I just asked our Information Technology group to set one up. I will let you know when it is ready. As you know, our email system severely limits the size of attachments we can send and receive. Dividing the files in your request into several emails is not practical this time as it would be so many emails, we could have a challenge managing them all!
I will be out of the office on vacation from June29 through July 14, back in the office on July 17.
