Please treat this as a formal FOIA request for the EPA Identification Number assigned to 10 Hillside Road, Greenwich High School.

On August 25, 2011 The Board Of Education stated in a public meeting it had obtained all required permits for work in process at 10 Hillside Road which involves dredging and filling a self-described swamp, as well as disposing of hazardous waste uncovered in the process.

I have scoured the EPA website looking for these permits to no avail. Every municipal, state, and federal hazardous waste disposal permit is, by law, supposed to be available on this site indexed by EPA Identification Number.

By law, occupancy and work at 10 Hillside Road must cease and desist immediately to assure the safety of our children and safe disposal of hazardous materials until all required licenses and permits are properly noticed, secured, and available to the public for review.

The Town cannot simply claim it has permits no one can find.

Second Request: This is the second time I have formally requested this information. A response is required immediately.
