Public Records & Requests

Request a Public Record

Public documents and records are available to the public as required under the Washington State Public Records Act and you will receive a reply to your records request within five (5) business days of the receipt of the request [RCW 42.56.520(1)].  

For efficiency and clarity, we encourage you to make your request using our public records request form on the left.

You can choose to request records in person at our office, by phone, mail, or email. Your request should be as detailed as possible so that we can efficiently provide responsive records. This includes:

• Your name and mailing address
• Email address, daytime phone number
• Date and time of the request
• Nature of the request, specifically identifying the public records being requested.
• If you desire hard copies or electronic copies, or to come in and inspect the requested records.

Fee – Payment for copies of responsive records is required in advance or at the time the requestor receives the records. Benton Clean Air uses the state legislature’s approved fees and costs as provided in RCW 42.56.120.

A request for a public record is a public record itself and is subject to disclosure under the Act. We encourage you to read our Public Disclosure Request Policy, before submitting a records request.
