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.

The US Ecology Wayne Disposal, Inc. (WDI), is a hazardous waste landfill located at 49350 North I-94 Service Drive in Belleville, Michigan. WDI was first established in 1970, before hazardous waste handling and disposal operations were regulated under state or federal law. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has previously licensed WDI for the management of hazardous wastes under the operation and ownership control of Environmental Quality Company. In 2014, the Environmental Quality Company transferred ownership and operational control of WDI to US Ecology (USE). In 2022, Republic Services became the parent company of USE by purchasing the USE stock. USE remains the legal owner, operator, and permittee of WDI.
WDI’s Hazardous Waste Management Facility Operating License (License) issued by EGLE specifies the hazardous waste activities that WDI can perform. The federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, 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 the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), Materials Management Division (MMD), has in licensing and overseeing the facility’s hazardous waste operations.
