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 most common air quality concern related to agriculture is odor. Odors associated with farm operations are not considered air pollution if the farm operation is following Generally Accepted Agriculture Management Practices (GAAMP). The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) is responsible for determining conformance with GAAMPs. In accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding, the Air Quality Division often works with the MDARD in resolving odor issues with farm operations.
