Community involvement and public participation are an essential part of EGLE’s mission, vision, and values.
SARA Title III establishes requirements regarding emergency planning and "Community Right-to-Know" reporting on hazardous and toxic chemicals for federal, state, local, and tribal governments, as well as regulated facilities.
Tracking and understanding all of the state and federal environmental regulations affecting local governments can be a daunting task. We provide simple explanations and helpful resources for the regulatory programs that apply to local government operations and access to funding resources that promote sustainability on this page.

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s (EGLE) Water Well Viewer (WWV), is an interactive mapping system that displays water wells along with other information, such as wellhead protection areas, underground storage tanks, and sites of environmental contamination. Water well locations have been identified by address matching, the use of global positioning systems (GPS), and by legal descriptions.
This system allows water well drilling and pump installation contractors to submit water well records.

The Scrap Tire Advisory Committee (STAC), originally created in 2005, fosters continued interaction between the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and stakeholders.
The STAC provides an open forum for discussion of issues and trends in the scrap tire industry, and to facilitate improvements to the Scrap Tire Program administered under Part 169.
Find meeting minutes, district program contacts, a list of appointed members, and the history of the STAC on this page.

The STAC was originally created by the Waste and Hazardous Materials Division in September 2005; the first meeting of the STAC was held in the spring of 2006.
The STAC grew out of the Scrap Tire Work Group which was formed in April 2005 to assist the DEQ (now EGLE) with developing recommendations for statutory amendments and other regulatory and policy changes to improve the Scrap Tire Program administered under Part 169, Scrap Tires, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended (Part 169). The Scrap Tire Work Group process highlighted the benefits of having a forum for the DEQ and stakeholders to exchange information. To foster continued interaction between the DEQ and stakeholders, the STAC was formed.
In December of 2006, Part 169 was amended to require the DEQ Director to appoint members to the STAC. The STAC will be available to advise the DEQ on implementation of Part 169 and for both the DEQ and stakeholders to identify and address challenges and opportunities in the Scrap Tire Program as they arise. In addition to such other issues the DEQ requests the STAC to consider, the STAC shall advise the DEQ on the report required every three years on the effectiveness of Part 169 and the relevance of national standards or specifications for commodity determinations.
