Case DescriptionPublic Employees for Environmental Responsibility submitted a FOIA request to the Department of the Navy for records concerning the agency's relationship with Tetra Tech and the work conducted cleaning up toxic waste at Hunters Point Navy Yard located near San Francisco Bay. The agency acknowledged receipt of the request. The agency subsequently told PEER that it was making an online interim disclosure. However, PEER was unable to open the link cited in the Navy's letter. The Navy also told PEER that the rest of its request qualified for unusual circumstances. After hearing anything further from the agency, PEER filed suit.
