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.

Granger Grand River Landfill (facility) is a closed hazardous waste landfill that is operated by Granger Land Development Company (Granger). The facility is located at 8550 West Grand River Highway in Grand Ledge, Michigan and is a 60-acre landfill that accepted hazardous waste until 1983. The landfill was closed in 1985 and has been in postclosure maintenance and monitoring since closure.
On September 28, 2023, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), Materials Management Division (MMD) issued a Hazardous Waste Management Facility Postclosure Operating License (Postclosure License) to Granger to continue postclosure monitoring and maintenance of the facility. The Postclosure License also specifies the postclosure obligations that need to be performed at the facility.
Part 111, Hazardous Waste Management, of Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended, and the administrative rules and the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended (RCRA) and the corresponding regulations provide enforceable standards for all levels of hazardous waste management, from generation to disposal, and specify how the facility must operate to protect human health and the environment. They also identify the authorities that EGLE has in licensing and overseeing facility hazardous waste operations.
