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.

If you are looking for assistance in submitting a complete application, there are several guidebooks and other resources to help you complete the additional portions of your application like the PTI Workbook: A Practical Guide to Completing an Air Permit Application and the video tutorials linked below. These tutorials can be used as needed to complete different portions of your application. They will walk you through the parts of the application you will need to submit, discuss key terms you need to know, and provide information on how to ensure you send in a complete application.
This introductory module sets the stage for the permitting authority EGLE’s Air Quality Division has and how the Division works with other agencies.
This important module lays the groundwork for the remaining lessons by defining key terms and concepts. These terms and concepts are used throughout the remaining modules and being familiar with them will aid in understanding.
This module walks the use through when a permit may be required and how a facility should look at installation, modification, and reconstruction to determine if an air permit is needed.
Although filing out the application form (Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat) may seem simple, watching this module will make sure you do it right the first time!.
One of the most complex parts of the permit application is ensuring all of the supporting documentation is submitted with the application form. Knowing what you need to submit and how to submit it is key to turning in an administratively complete application. This module talks about how to do that while focusing on key points of that supplemental information: emission calculation, the regulatory discussion, and air toxics.
After you submit your application, Air Quality Division permit engineers and other air quality staff will do a thorough review of your application and develop permit conditions based on the information you provided. Understanding how this process works and the time it may take, as well as why some permits require public comment, can be an important part of your planning process.
This module will take an in-depth look at the air toxics portion of your application. The module expands on information presented in Module 5.3 where you can learn, in greater detail, the rules around air toxics and permitting. You will see examples using the air toxics spreadsheet and you will learn about the importance of this information is providing a complete application.
Use the Demonstrating Compliance with Rule 225 - Rule 227 Spreadsheet.
