A complete list of all programs within the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE)
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.
Resources and information on utilizing RRD's data exchange and the Inventory of Facilities.
An interactive map displaying contaminated sites throughout Michigan regulated under Parts 213, 201, and 211.
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.
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.

In recent years, Michigan has seen unprecedented levels of wildfire smoke drifting across its communities and much of the rest of the country.
In addition to pollutants like fine particulate matter carried in the smoke, there are gasses containing the chemicals that – when combined with sunlight – form ground-level ozone. These chemical reactions contribute to elevated ozone levels seen in areas across Michigan. It is important to take steps to protect yourself from wildfire smoke.
Our meteorologists use air models to forecast when air quality may be poor. They will issue air quality advisories and alerts whenever conditions call for them
We share real-time pollutant monitoring data alongside the color-coded Air Quality Index (AQI)
We use social media to get the word out about alerts, advisories, and actions residents can take to stay safe
Our team works with local media to inform and educate viewers about air quality and wildfire smoke
We provide answers to frequently asked questions about how wildfire smoke impacts air quality in our communities
An advisory is issued when levels of ozone or PM2.5 are expected to be “unhealthy for sensitive groups”
An alert is issued when levels of ozone or PM2.5 are expected to be “unhealthy”, “very unhealthy” or “hazardous”
There is nothing the state can do to reduce the pollutants from the fires drifting over from Canada.
However, state agencies, including EGLE, Health and Human Services, Natural Resources and Agriculture and Rural Development are working together to give Michiganders the latest information on how to be informed and protect yourself and your loved ones when air quality may be harmful.
EnviroFlash is a FREE service that provides advance notice about environmental issues; all you need is an email address or phone with text message capabilities
Real-time data is posted to MiAir; you can also find this on your phone’s weather app or at EPA’s AirNow.gov
EPA’s Fire and Smoke Map uses both regulatory and sensor data to show where wildfires are burning and how smoke is impacting the nation
Effects can range from stinging eyes, wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath to more serious health effects, including triggering of asthma attacks or heart failure
Sensors may be used by citizens, community groups, municipalities, industry, and environmental and health agencies to enhance information from other sources
This report contains information about days when advisories or alerts were called, plus the number of days we forecasted elevated levels of ozone, PM2.5 or both in the outdoor air
