Dear New Jersey Department of Health, Division of Epidemiology, Environmental, and Occupational Health,

Please let me clarify: As stated, please consider this a reminder of the original request instead of a new one. However, if that is not possible, please consider this request on its own, as a new records request.

Thank you.

Dear New Jersey Department of Health, Division of Epidemiology, Environmental and Occupational Health,

This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I certify under penalty of NJSA 2C:28-3 that I have not been convicted of an indictable offense. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.

Records requested:

NOTE: This request was already submitted on October 30th, via nj.gov/opra. Confirmation number is "W126297". I have not received a response or request for extension, despite more than seven business days passing. Please consider this a reminder of the original request, and not an entirely new request. I have clarified the wording below, but it is requesting the same documents.

There is an ongoing roofing construction project at Pinelands Regional High School, which is part of Pinelands Regional School District in Little Egg Harbor Township. As screenshot on this page of the contract:

https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url...

"notification" of the asbestos removal plan was required to be sent to the NJ Department of Environmental Protection at least ten days in advance of any removal or disposal of asbestos. After requesting this document from NJDEP, they recommended instead contacting the Department of Health.

Please provide all asbestos removal/transport plans, as submitted during the year of 2017. Also provide any correspondence, documents, or responses related to this plan. This includes acknowledgement of, responses to, or correspondence between the department and the district, or with one of its contractors, Kobithen Roofing and Insulation, or New Road Construction.

Thank you.

Jeff Epstein, Editor of Citizens' Media TV

Dear Mr. Epstein:

The Division of Epidemiology, Environmental and Occupational Health received your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request below. As explained to you over the telephone today, we searched our records and found none responsive to your request. The 10 day notification form referenced in your request, is waived for the Department of Health in cases involving roofing. Sometimes the entity will send the Department the form anyway, but we checked and found nothing. It is our opinion that the form should be on file in the Department of Environmental Protection.

If your request for access to a government record has been denied or unfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a right to challenge the decision by the Division of Epidemiology, Environmental and Occupational Health to deny access. At your option, you may either institute a proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey or file a complaint with the Government Records Council (GRC) by completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form. You may contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ, 08625, by e-mail at [email address], or at their web site at www.state.nj.us/grc. The GRC can also answer other questions about the law. All questions regarding complaints filed in Superior Court should be directed to the Court Clerk in your County.

Sincerely,
Susan Way
Records Custodian

Mr. Epstein: No problem. I perfectly understand. If you scroll down, the original request is at the bottom of the email. There is no other attachment, as we had no records.

Dear DOH-deeohcustodian,

Forgive the confusion. I’ve been changing over to a new communication system. This request happened to span both systems and I lost track.

I am grateful that you also sent it to this address. It is helpful.

Unfortunately, it seems that there is no attachment on your email.

Yours sincerely,

Jeff Epstein
