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.

Planning and zoning for renewable energy siting is an important step toward creating stronger, more resilient communities. Many of the 1,856 jurisdictions in the state have already given consideration to clean energy (wind energy or solar energy) in their zoning ordinances. The information collected in this database shows which communities include clean energy in their zoning ordinance and which do not.
