This is a follow up to a previous request:
Hi Jamie, Let's reduce the workload by narrowing the time frame to records created since January 1, 2017.
Thanks for the heads up regarding the general counsel review, please fulfill whatever portion of this request you
can fulfill within 10 business days and then fulfill the remainder of the request when possible. Much
appreciated.
On Sept. 5, 2017:
Mr.<mailto:[e-mail]> Smith,
We just ran a search this morning for your public records and turned up 171,000 items including email s and
other documents in our electronic database. As per our policy, we must have our General Counsel's review the
records to ensure they are not confidential or protected under our public records law and that could take some
time, as we have numerous prior records requests to fulfill.
Let me know how you would like for us to proceed.

Hi Jamie, Appreciate the update. We can narrow the search to records regarding the discharge of industrial
DEQ-CFW-00083709

waste water pollutants. Please conduct keyword searches for "Chemours" "Dupont" "C8" "GenX" "Nafion" and
"PFESAs. " Much thanks.

Mr. Smith,
I think we've been playing a lot of phone tag with regards to this public records request.
In the interest of moving things along, I want to reach out to you in email in hopes that this will help both of us.
An initial search by one of our staff yielded tens of thousands of documents when we searched for "All reports,
evaluations, test results, proposed testing, and related materials regarding water supplies and usage in
Wilmington, North Carolina, created since January 1, 2016. " And that was just when we did an email search.
That being the case, I wanted to ask if you could narrow your search and let us know more specifically what
you may be seeking. What may be helpful would be any specific search terms, names, dates, etc.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Thanks.
