Information on environmental incidents and remediation
Dear Environmental Protection Department,
Please provide information on the five environmental incidents over the three fiscal years 2021-2023 which were the most costly for your department in terms of the remediation measures they led to which your department paid for, or records containing that information. We are looking for the total cost per incident of the remediation measures and any report you prepared on each incident. If your department is not responsible for this please pass this request to the department that does.
Yours faithfully,
Scott Edmunds
