177 Oakridge Road, Block 15901, Lot 5 PAR OPRA Request
Dear West Milford Township,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.
I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.
I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
Please provide copies of any and all environmental records maintained by the NJDEP for the property located at 177 Oakridge Road, Block 15901, Lot 5, West Milford Township, Passaic County, New Jersey, from 1900 to present, including Site Remediation Program records, spill or incident reports, ISRA-related records, storage tank records, and any historical environmental reports or correspondence associated with this property.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Yours faithfully,
Rachel Freeman

177 Oak Ridge Road does not come up in our assessment records search.
Block 15901 Lot 5 is for 173 Oak Ridge Road. Are you looking for records for Block 15901 Lot 5 which is 173 Oak Ridge Road?
Please confirm what address and block and lot you are looking for and resubmit.
If a custodian seeks clarification of an OPRA request, the response time clock stops until the requestor provides a response to the custodian.
Thank you and we look forward to receiving your revised request.
Thank you Record Custodian
