The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

In February and March of 2025, EGLE received permit applications from Enbridge. EGLE must review the applications to determine completeness within 30 days of receiving them. This 30-day review is tolled, allowing the review period to pause when questions or comments requiring a response are sent to permit applicants.
Public comment, public hearings, and tribal consultations are scheduled after this completeness review.
EGLE has established a dedicated permit application email account related to the proposed tunnel project.
Public comment on the EGLE permits listed below closed on October 19, 2020.
Our public input process lets you have your voice heard on behalf of the environment. You know about your neighborhood, community, and local conditions and how our regulatory processes and actions may affect them.
Although we’re bound by state and federal laws, your comments can influence how solutions are achieved.
