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.

US Ecology Romulus, Inc. (USE Rom) operates a hazardous waste storage facility located at 36345 Van Born Road in Romulus, Michigan. The facility was first established in the 1970’s, before hazardous waste handling and disposal operations were regulated under state or federal law.
USE Rom’s hazardous waste management facility operating license (License) specifies the hazardous waste activities that they can perform at the facility. The federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), its rules and the corresponding state hazardous waste regulations specify how the facility must operate to protect human health and the environment. They also identify the authorities that the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), Materials Management Division (MMD) has in licensing and overseeing facility operations.
The current License was issued in 2015. Hazardous waste operating licenses must be renewed every 5 to 10 years to address any changes in the regulations and provide an opportunity for EGLE to add or change license conditions to enhance compliance.
In late 2018, EGLE received a proposed major modification application to USE Rom’s License. The major modification application proposes to:
The application does not seek to increase the amount of hazardous waste liquids USE Rom can treat per day nor does it seek to add waste codes to the operating license.
To learn more about the License, please see the links below.
