Subject: [EXTERNAL] OPRA request - Documents related to carsonite trail markers

Dear New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection,

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 budget requests, contracts, orders, and invoices related to carsonite trail markers and the stickers adhered to them procured by the department in the last 3 years for use in Wharton State Forest. These trail markers are being used to mark routes deemed not suitable for motor vehicles in Wharton State Forest.

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,

John Druding
