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.

Marathon has three facilities in Detroit: the refinery at 1001 South Oakwood, the asphalt terminal at 301 Fort Street, and the light products terminal at 12700 Toronto Street. While Marathon provides services and jobs in the State of Michigan, each facility must operate safely, follow rules and regulations, and act as a good neighbor to citizens.
On February 1, 2021, the Air Quality Division (AQD) finalized an enforcement action against Marathon for violations that happened between September 2017 and January 2020 at the refinery at 1001 South Oakwood. This enforcement action included the payment of a monetary penalty and two Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEP). One project was the creation of a real time air monitoring system and the other project was to update the air handling system at a local school.

Permit applications submitted for the Detroit Permitting Project included application APP-2024-0053 from Marathon Petroleum Company LP (Marathon), APP-2024-0055 from Air Products and Chemicals Inc. (Air Products), and APP-2024-0054 from MPLX Terminals LLC (MPLX. The permits have been issued with changes based on public input. The Marathon permit changes include:
MPLX’s permit was changed to show the vapor recovery unit stack height has been increased to 35 feet.
Information on the final permits, including the final conditions and the complete responses to public comments, can be found on the Air Quality Public Notice webpage, under PTI Final Decisions (English only). Original applications are still available to view.
Recent air permit applications submitted for the Detroit Permitting Project: These applications are APP-2023-0146 from Marathon Petroleum Company LP (Marathon), APP-2023-0239 from Air Products and Chemicals Inc. (Air Products), and APP-2023-0240 from MPLX Terminals LLC (MPLX), supporting information, and status.
This permit was issued on September 1, 2022.
As part of the February 1, 2021, enforcement action, Marathon proposed a Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) to improve the air handling system at Mark Twain School for Scholars, located at 12800 Visger Street in Detroit. Marathon will install air conditioning, improve the air filtration, and add an air purification system at the school. This SEP will improve the indoor air quality for students, teachers, and other workers and community members who visit the school.
Reports are due from Marathon to AQD on a quarterly basis and then semi-annually after August 2021. Reports will be posted when received.
The second SEP proposed by Marathon as part of the enforcement action was to create a public webpage for anyone to see real-time environmental data being collected at four monitoring stations on the border of Marathon's refinery. The data include carbon monoxide (CO), particulate with a diameter of less than 10 micrometers (PM10), total reduced sulfur (TRS), and sulfur dioxide (SO2). This page will also show weekly data for volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Along with the real-time environmental data, this page will also show the wind direction and the level of pollutants that may cause concern for people who are sensitive to air pollution.
Marathon's air monitoring system is live. Marathon will keep this website up for at least three years. You can also find out other real-time air monitoring information on EGLE's air monitoring webpage.
