EGLE's interactive calendar is designed to provide timely information on decisions before the Director, proposed settlements of contested cases, administrative rules promulgation, public hearings, meetings and comment deadlines, and environmental conferences, workshops and training programs.
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.

The principles of asset management are essential to proper operation of a water system. Asset management is a tool for water systems to plan for future financial needs, estimate the full cost of water service, and to ensure a sustainable utility. Most water systems already incorporate some of the principles into their business processes. The asset management rule in Michigan’s Safe Drinking Water Act aims to ensure that water systems are considering all costs as they plan for the future. The resources listed below will help water systems understand the principles of asset management and their responsibilities relative to the Safe Drinking Water Act.
