Community involvement and public participation are an essential part of EGLE’s mission, vision, and values.
SARA Title III establishes requirements regarding emergency planning and "Community Right-to-Know" reporting on hazardous and toxic chemicals for federal, state, local, and tribal governments, as well as regulated facilities.
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.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s (EGLE) Water Well Viewer (WWV), is an interactive mapping system that displays water wells along with other information, such as wellhead protection areas, underground storage tanks, and sites of environmental contamination. Water well locations have been identified by address matching, the use of global positioning systems (GPS), and by legal descriptions.
This system allows water well drilling and pump installation contractors to submit water well records.
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.
Anyone wishing to formally serve legal documents upon the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), or its officers or employees, may do so by the following methods.

Hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDF), are regulated, engineered facilities with design and oversight requirements. The hazardous waste regulations require the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) to issue a TSDF a license to authorize its operations. The license prescribes specific operating standards for the facility to ensure proper, cradle-to-grave management of wastes received. These standards include waste analysis; personnel training; compliance inspections; preparedness and prevention and contingency plans; closure plans; recordkeeping and reporting; engineering and process descriptions; environmental monitoring; corrective action; financial assurance; and air emission standards.
Hazardous waste TSDF operating licenses remain effective for ten years. The license renewal process gives EGLE an opportunity to update facility information, review operations, and improve the license by clarifying license requirements to enhance protection of human health and the environment. To issue any license, including a license renewal, EGLE's review of the license application must conclude:
US Ecology Romulus (USE ROM) submitted a hazardous waste management facility operating license renewal application on April 27, 2025, before the April 30, 2025, expiration date of the current license. Timely submittal of the renewal application allows USE ROM to continue operating under the current license until EGLE takes final action on the application. USE ROM’s license covers its hazardous waste container storage, tank storage, and tank treatment.
The renewal application and current license are available in hard copy for review at the following locations:
April 27, 2026 – EGLE, MMD received revisions to the USE ROM Application. The revisions responded to EGLE’s request for additional information identified in its March 27, 2026, Completeness Notice of Deficiency.
Administratively complete determination – May 13, 2026
On May 28, 2026, EGLE will hold a virtual public information meeting for USE ROM’s hazardous waste license application at 6:00 p.m. To attend the online meeting, register. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. If you do not have internet access and would like to join by PHONE ONLY, please use the following phone number: 855-758-1310 and use meeting ID: 823 3261 9871#. Pre-registration is not required to attend. Individuals interested in participating can click the link above at the start of the event.
The purpose of public involvement is to ensure that those interested in a proposed EGLE action are aware and have an opportunity to provide input on the action before EGLE reaches a final decision. The community is encouraged to engage with EGLE throughout the process. Prior to making a final decision, EGLE will host informational meetings to keep those interested informed, and a public comment period and a formal public hearing to receive formal comments from the community.
EGLE will evaluate all comments received during the formal public comment period and hearing and issue a formal written response to comments when a final decision on the action is made. This information will be communicated to all persons who submitted comments, those who are on the facility’s official mailing list, and/or those who are subscribed to the action’s GovDelivery list.
EGLE conducts Environmental Justice (EJ) and Limited English Proficiency (LEP) screenings for communities surrounding a hazardous waste facility prior to a license renewal. The EJ screen helps to identify EJ communities in the vicinity of a hazardous waste facility, and to choose the type and scope of site-specific community engagement activities. For EJ communities, the MMD considers the need for license conditions to mitigate EJ concerns and ensure that authorized hazardous waste operations will be protective of human health and the environment. The LEP screen helps EGLE identify the need for oral or written translations in identified language(s) for vital documents and at public meetings. For more information about EJ, please visit the Office of the Environmental Justice Public Advocate’s webpage.
