OOR erred in holding that a "well site" was not an "industrial plant" and court found that investigative reports pertaining to well sites were public records in a RTKL action but OOR correctly held that DEP met its burden of showing that certain records were exempt under the attorney-client privilege and/or work product doctrine, records relating to the location of radioactive material were exempt under public safety and security concerns, other documents were exempt under trade secret and confidential information, the notes and working papers, internal predecisional deliberation and noncriminal investigation exemptions. Affirmed in part and reversed in part.

Word counts are a way of life in modern appellate practice. The halcyon days of 70-page "briefs" are gone—never to return, see Commonwealth v. Spuck, 86 A.3d 870, 872 (Pa. Super. 2014), (discussing the demise of the 70-page rule); Commonwealth v. Stoppie, 486 A.2d 994, 996 (Pa. Super. 1984), (quoting former Pa. R.A.P. 2135(1)). Page limits invited abuse, such as "substantive arguments and sub-arguments ... set forth in footnotes [and] other compressed texts, such as block quotes or single-spaced bullet points," as in Commonwealth v. Spotz, 18 A.3d 244, 349 (Pa. 2011).
