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 Office, in conjunction with the Interagency Environmental Justice Response Team, is developing an interactive mapping tool that identifies Michigan communities that may be disproportionately impacted by environmental hazards. The map will allow users to explore the environmental, health, and socioeconomic conditions within a specific community, region, or across the entire state.
The Office coordinates the Michigan Wild Rice Initiative (MWRI). The initiative stems from a collective understanding among State and Tribal governments that the protection and restoration of wild rice in Michigan should be elevated in importance. It brings together specialist and managers from all 12 federally-recognized tribes, multiple state departments and federal agencies, and others to share information, coordinate approaches, and elevate awareness about wild rice conservation and restoration.
The Office is collaborating to launch an EJ Community Schools Air Quality program to assess HVAC systems in a select number of schools in EJ communities. The fully funded assessments are designed to determine needs in public school building to protect students from air borne contaminants.
The Office of the Environmental Justice Public Advocate, along with community partners, is initiating a pilot project in 48217/Southwest Detroit to build an EJ Community Resiliency plan development process. Funded through a grant from the EPA, the project is a two-year planning process designed to provide guidelines for addressing issues that impact communities to provide a blueprint for resiliency.
The Office, in conjunction with EGLE's Air Quality Division, has launched a mobile air monitoring project utilizing a fleet of Purple Air monitors to address short term and immediate air quality concerns. The monitors can assess small particulate matter (PM 2.5) in the air.
The Office hosts an annual roundtable with Tribal Leaders and EGLE's Director to discuss environmental priorities, challenges, and issues. The initial meeting was held in the fall of 2019. The 2021 roundtable was held on November 9th.
These are some noteworthy past actions by the Office.
