Update
On April 9, DEQ experienced a cyberattack that impacted access to our internal systems and databases. This didn't impact our ability to receive public records requests and you do not need to resubmit any requests. However, at this time, we are not able to log in to the system to see and respond to public records requests. These responses will be delayed.
You may continue to submit new requests via our online portal. This way we can ensure it is tracked and addressed as soon as we regain access to our systems. We understand this maybe frustrating and we sincerely apologize and appreciate your patience. Please know that we are doing our best to respond to your request as soon as we are able to resume normal operations.
DEQ is working to make more and more of our public records available to you directly online. Visit our
Online Services page for a wealth of publicly available information and data. Over time, we will continue to make more information available as part of this online service.
Can’t find it online?
Submit a request on our online public records request portal.
Our online portal allows you to track the status of your requests, pay fees and download your records directly. If you are having difficulty using the portal, please contact us at
RecordsRequest@deq.oregon.gov or 503-960-6210 for assistance.
DEQ will respond to your request within 15 business days, at which time we will either provide you the requested records, inform you there are no records, or provide a reasonable timeframe within which we expect to complete the request.
We automatically waive the first 30 minutes of time spent on records requests. If we anticipate there will be fees associated with your request, we will send an estimate for your review and approval before proceeding.
