A complete list of all programs within the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE)
Community involvement and public participation are an essential part of EGLE’s mission, vision, and values.
Resources and information on utilizing RRD's data exchange and the Inventory of Facilities.
An interactive map displaying contaminated sites throughout Michigan regulated under Parts 213, 201, and 211.
EGLE's interactive calendar is designed to provide timely information on decisions before the Director, proposed settlements of contested cases, administrative rules promulgation, public hearings, meetings and comment deadlines, and environmental conferences, workshops and training programs.
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.

Businesses have many factors to consider when working toward energy decarbonization, which can be broadly approached using energy management: a sequential process that involves measuring an organization's energy consumption, reducing any energy waste, and supplying all energy needs from renewable sources.
Identify facility energy use and track it over time, both noting achievements and areas for improvement. Benchmarking allows entities to track their buildings energy use and compare them to similar buildings in the community and nationwide.
Resources:
An energy audit should be conducted to better understand how to improve a building's energy use. Energy audits are used to identify and recommend energy conservation measures to reduce the amount of energy input without negatively affecting performance.
Resources:
Reduce energy use intensity for private buildings. Energy efficiency improvements reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions, while creating a more sustainable building stock in a community. An energy audit should be used to guide energy efficiency upgrades.
Resources:
Increase the use of renewable energy in commercial buildings or offset building emissions through the use of clean power purchase agreements. Renewable energy solutions may include solar photovoltaics, wind, biomass, hydroelectric, and geothermal.
