Washington law (Chapter 42.56 RCW) requires that identifiable public records be made available promptly to members of the public for inspection and copying upon request. Only records that are exempt by law may be withheld from disclosure. Allowable exemptions are detailed in RCW 42.56.050, 42.56.070, 42.56.210, 43.21A.160, 70.94.205, 70.105.170 and 90.52.020. These exemptions are generally intended to prevent invasion of privacy and the use of public records for personal, commercial or political gain. They include, but are not limited to:
Each Ecology program, executive office and regional office has a designated Public Records / Public Disclosure Coordinator.

The Public Records Request Form may be used but it is not required. If you choose to use the form, please download it in either PDF or Microsoft Word format to your computer, fill in the requested information and send it to Ecology as described above.
