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 (Granger) is a closed hazardous waste landfill located at 8550 West Grand River Highway in Grand Ledge, Michigan.
The Granger facility 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.
Granger submitted a Hazardous Waste Management Facility Postclosure Operating License (Postclosure License) renewal application to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), Materials Management Division (MMD) on December 30, 2021.
The current license, approved on January 25, 2012, 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.

Hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) are highly regulated, highly engineered facilities, with extensive design and oversight requirements. The hazardous waste rules that prescribe the standards that must be met in any postclosure operating license action taken by EGLE include, in part: personnel training, compliance inspections, preparedness and prevention, contingency planning, recordkeeping and reporting, environmental monitoring, corrective action, and financial assurance.
EGLE issues postclosure operating licenses for the management of closed hazardous waste landfills that remain effective for 10 years, in accordance with state and federal regulations. To reissue a postclosure operating license, EGLE's review must conclude:
Granger submitted a Postclosure License renewal application on December 20, 2021, before the January 25, 2022, expiration date of the facility’s current license. The timely submittal of the renewal application allows Granger to continue operating under the current license until final action is taken on the renewal application. EGLE, MMD, has determined that the renewal application is administratively complete and is currently reviewing it for technical adequacy. The application is available electronically (below), and in hard copy at the following locations:
