Welcome to Southern Rhode Island Conservation District's public records request page.

Open Record vs. Public Record

All records created by public bodies are public records, but not all public records are open to the public. RI General Law § 38-2-2 identifies which types of records are not considered open records.

You are not required to provide identification or any personally identifiable information when requesting a document.

The agency must fulfill your request electronically, by fax or by mail as you request, unless complying with that preference would be unduly burdensome.

The agency has 10 business days from the date they receive the request to respond at which point they will either provide the records, request a 20-day extension, or inform you that they do not have the records you requested. In the process of requesting an extension, the agency may provide an itemized invoice of what the retrieval will cost.

• The agency may charge up to $15 per hour after the first hour to retrieve records or process the request. See Statute.
• The agency may charge $0.15 per page printed. See Statute.
• If you think there has been an APRA violation, please contact the Office of the Attorney General.
