An interactive map displaying contaminated sites throughout Michigan regulated under Parts 213, 201, and 211.
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 Clean Air Act requires each state to develop a Title V, Renewable Operating Permit (ROP) Program supported by air quality fees. An annual air quality fee program for Michigan, including the specific fee structure, was established by the legislature in 1993. The fee program was reauthorized by Governor Whitmer on September 29, 2023.
The Michigan legislation establishes the following formula for calculating the annual air quality fee for each fee-subject facility:
Annual Fee = Facility Charge + Emissions Charge
A facility charge is used in the fee formula is and based on the classification, or Category, of the facility. The categories were revised during the fee reauthorization and are as follows.
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| A | Facilities that are "major" under Title III of the Clean Air Act (have the potential to emit 100 tons or more per year of any pollutant) and are also Electric Providers, not including municipally-owned electric generators. |
| B | Facilities that are "major" under Title III of the Clean Air Act (have the potential to emit 100 tons or more per year of any pollutant) and are not Electric Providers, with the exception of municipally-owned electric generators with emissions over 646 tons per year. |
| C | Facilities that are "major" under Title I of the Clean Air Act (have the potential to emit 10 tons of any one hazardous air pollutant or 25 tons of any combination of hazardous air pollutants). |
| D | Facilities that are subject to a federal New Source Performance Standard. |
| E | Facilities that have a Title V Opt-Out Permit. |
| F | Facilities which are subject to a federal Maximum Available Control Technology (MACT) standard but are not "major" under Title I or Title III. Category F facilities are assessed a $250 facility charge with no emissions charge. |
| Emissions Range (tons) | Facility Charge | Emissions Charge / Ton |

Please note the facility charge may vary from one year to the next depending on the actual emissions reported, even within the same fee category.
In addition to the facility charge, an emissions charge is calculated per ton of emissions reported for Category A through D facilities. This emissions charge is calculated at $53.00 per ton of actual emissions.
For Category A and B facilities, the following caps limit the quantity of individual and total pollutants which are charged for:
