Ms. Levy:

An answer to your questions is provided below.

Dear Pollution Control Financing Authority of Camden County,

This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law
right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please
acknowledge receipt of this message.

  Records requested:

1) Documentation of Camden County’s most recent tipping fee rate
schedule/solid waste disposal fees.

Our current tipping fee schedule may be found on our website, PCFAC.com.

2) Any spreadsheet or database tracking the tonnage of waste brought to
each municipal waste transfer, recycling, composting, processing, or
disposal facility (including landfills and incinerators) within Camden
county, with fields sufficient to show the monthly tonnage (or annual if
monthly is not available), waste type, and origin (state, county or
municipality, in as much detail as is available) from the earliest data
available in a spreadsheet or database format through the most recent data
available. Also, any spreadsheets identifying each aforementioned facility
with their owner, operator, address, county, municipality, permit number,
facility type, and other non-confidential related information that may be
stored in such a system identifying these facilities.

The PCFACC does not haul or transfer waste to any facility.

For purposes of this request, the term "records" means information of any
kind, including, but not limited to, documents (handwritten, typed,
electronic or otherwise produced, reproduced, or stored), letters,
e-mails, text messages, facsimiles, memoranda, correspondence, notes,
databases, drawings, graphs, charts, photographs, maps, forms, minutes of
meetings, electronic and magnetic recordings, and any other compilation of
data from which information can be obtained, no matter the media upon
which it is stored or whether communications took place on public or
private electronic devices or phone or email accounts.

If the Municipality believes the records exist that are responsive to this
request, but those records or portions of those records are believed to be
exempt from disclosure, please identify the records that are being
withheld. Please state the basis for the denial for each record being
withheld including statute, regulation or court decision. Please cite that
law or case, including the specific section or sections you rely upon, in
your written response. In addition, please provide the nonexempt portion
of the records.

If the Municipality does not possess or control these records but knows or
believes that another entity does, please forward this request to the
appropriate person and inform me that you have done so.

N.J.S.A.47:1A-5(d) states: "A custodian shall permit access to a
government record and provide a copy thereof in the medium requested if
the public agency maintains the record in that medium. If the public
agency does not maintain the record in the medium requested, the custodian
shall either convert the record to the medium requested or provide a copy
in some other meaningful medium." Pursuant to 47:1A-5(d), please provide
the records in searchable, commonly-available electronic formats, such as
text or HTML formatted emails, PDF files, CSV spreadsheets, or Microsoft
Office formats. Files already in any of these formats are requested to be
provided in their native formats for ease of use and for minimal burden on
Municipality staff. Please know that electronic records that are printed
and scanned, making them unsearchable will be deemed a denial of this
request and will leave the Municipality subject to legal appeal.

I ask that the fees be waived in accordance with N.J.S.A.47:1A-5(b) which
states: “Access to electronic records and non-printed materials shall be
provided free of charge.”

Please provide these records here. If files are unusually large, please
consult me to arrange the least-cost method for transmitting the files. I
will only accept paper copies of files that do not exist in readable
electronic formats.

Please respond within 7 business days per N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(i). Please
transmit the materials to me as they become available, rather than wait
for all records to become available to dispense. If you have any questions
regarding this request, please contact me.

Finally, please confirm receipt of this Open Public Records Act request.

Yours faithfully,

Vanessa Levy
