Subject: Official Information request - Cost of remediating environmental
incidents

 

[You don't often get email from
[4][FOI #31384 email]. Learn why this is
important at [5]https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

 

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

 

Please provide information on the five environmental incidents over the
three fiscal years 2020-21, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023 which were the most
costly for NZTA in terms of the remediation measures they led to which
NZTA 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.

 

Under section 16(2) of the OIA our preferences are (a) to receive a copy
of the whole document (b) that the information is disclosed in a text
searchable format, either Word or PDF, and (c) that it is sent to the
email address from which the Agency received this request.

 

If the Agency decides that there is 'good reason' under the OIA to
withhold any of the information we are requesting, then under section
19(a)(ii) of the OIA, we further request that the Agency provide us with
the grounds in support of each instance of a withholding reason cited for
refusal. Guidance for agencies on how to meet their section 19(a)(ii)
obligations is available from the Ombudsman at this location:

If you need to clarify anything in relation to this request, please get in
touch.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

New Zealand Council for Civil Liberties
