FOIA Project Annotation: Ruling on largely the same issues that faced Judge Amit Mehta in his decision several months ago, Judge Trevor McFadden has ruled that the U.S. Forest Service properly withheld records from the Story of Stuff Project pertaining to Nestle's use of spring waters in the San Bernardino National Forest under Exemption 4 (confidential business information), Exemption 5 (privileges), and Exemption 9 (data pertaining to wells), but has rejected the agency's claim that identifying information about Nestle employees is protected by Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy). While Mehta concluded the Forest Service had supported its exemption claims, he also found that the 1999 disclosure by the state of California of a report prepared by Dames & Moore describing the infrastructure of bore holes in the San Bernardino National Forest raised questions as to whether information Nestle claimed was proprietary had actually been made public. This time, McFadden, relying primarily on the same affidavits prepared by Nestle and provided by the agency, found the agency had shown that the information was protected by Exemption 4, Exemption 5, and Exemption 9. The agency located 465 emails, 869 photographs, six spreadsheets, five videos, and 3,218 pages of responsive documents, disclosing more 3,076 pages with redactions. Noting that "for reasons known only to the Project, it brought another case based on virtually identical FOIA requests in this district last year," McFadden found the majority of the agency's exemption claims were appropriate. Turning to the issue of whether or not the Dames & Moore report had waived the confidentiality of Nestle's infrastructure data, McFadden, like Mehta earlier, pointed out that Nestle argued that a 2003 wildfire had completely destroyed the infrastructure as it existed in 1999. Mehta had expressed concerns about what impact the wildfire might have had on underground bore holes, but McFadden took the position that the Project bore the burden of proving that the Dames & Moore report data was still valid, and they had not done so. He pointed out that "the Project's assertion that withheld information cannot be more detailed than the Dames & Moore report is incorrect. . .It is plausible that Nestle has confidential diagrams of its operation featuring greater precision and accuracy than those created by Dames & Moore twenty years ago." The Project also argued that Nestle had not shown that disclosure of the withheld information would cause substantial competitive harm, particularly since it was relevant only to Strawberry Creek in the San Bernardino National Forest. McFadden disagreed. He observed that "[Nestle'] declaration does not suggest that Nestle's physical infrastructure alone constitutes an internal business process. Rather, [it] states that the withheld information includes descriptions of a 'system' the company uses to evaluate, develop, and operationalize the physical infrastructure. Rival firms could use these illustrations of planned infrastructure projects, inventory information, and related data to improve their own evaluation and development procedures." He added that "more broadly, the Project offers no support for its contention that Nestle's infrastructure, systems and methodologies apply only to Strawberry Creek. It is not unreasonable to believe that other companies could apply this information to locations with similar characteristics." McFadden upheld the agency's claims that some records were privileged. In response to one Project assertion that some information was not deliberative, he pointed out that "that a document may have a section titled 'Existing Conditions' does not prove that the information within that section is not deliberative." Although Mehta has put aside consideration of Exemption 9 after questioning the confidentiality of underground information, McFadden considered the agency's Exemption 9 claims. The Project argued that bore holes did not qualify as wells for purposes of Exemption 9, citing a definition used by the FDA suggesting that bore holes were different than wells. McFadden disagreed, noting that the FDA reference did not "establish that a borehole is not a well for purposes of Exemption 9. Instead, they differentiate between two types of water based on how each is collected. And they fit with [dictionary] definitions [that] a borehole is a 'drilled' or 'made' well, rather than a naturally occurring well." Citing the D.C. Circuit's decision in AquaAlliance v. Bureau of Reclamation, 856 F. 3d 101 (D.C. Cir. 2017), he indicated there the D.C. Circuit had found that Exemption 9's definition of wells did not exclude water wells. McFadden rejected the agency's use of Exemption 6 to protect information about Nestle employees. He pointed out that "information 'connected with professional relationships' does not [qualify]." He added that "the public's interest in disclosure outweighs these privacy interests. Nestle employees and consultants prepared reports to aid the Forest Service in making its permit renewal decision about publicly owned forest lands. The public has a plausible interest in evaluating these individuals' qualifications."
Issues: Exemption 4 - Confidential business information, Exemption 5 - Privileges, Exemption 9 - Data on wells, Exemption 6 - Invasion of privacy
