Ruth McLemore-Price, Information and Records Manager

 

 

The Department of Environmental Protection is a public agency.  As such, many of its records are available to the public. 

• Records are available during business hours- 8 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

• It is not necessary for you to make an appointment to review files.  We do recommend that you make an appointment so that we can facilitate your search.

• If you will need copies of files: You may use the copier provided for a maximum of 30 copies at no charge.   If greater than 30 copies are needed, the fee per page is .15 cents per page would apply to the entire job (i.e. a total of 75 pages produced x .15/page = $11.25).  Please make check payable to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. 

• The Department has many online resources to help with data and information requests.  You'll find a list of some of those resources on our web page DEP data and information online.

• If you have a request for records from multiple sections, please contact Ruth McLemore-Price, our Records and Information Manager or Lisa A. Kelley, our Citizen's Services.

   

  Notes about Records Requests:

  • the more information you provide, the better.

  • Name variations, misspellings and incorrect addresses may not indicate the existence of actual files. Sometimes sites have multiple names.  Sometimes roads are known by more than one name.

  • Most records are located using a combination of facility/site name and physical address.

  • Parcel parcel numbers are not usually used as a reference in Department regulatory data systems.

  • It is virtually impossible for us to search the database for an “adjacent property”.
