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.
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 Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, through the Materials Management Division, manages the registration and permitting for hazardous waste and liquid industrial by-products (formerly liquid industrial waste) transportation in the State of Michigan.
Hazardous Waste Transportation
The authority to issue permits and registrations for hazardous waste transportation in Michigan is found in the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 1998 PA 138Federal transportation legislation directs that states will be preempted from permitting motor carriers of hazardous materials unless they follow a uniform registration and permitting program. Therefore, Michigan along with Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma and West Virginia participate in the National Uniform Hazardous Materials Transportation Program (National Uniform Program). This National Uniform Program requires registration and permitting of hazardous waste transporters regulated under Part 111, Hazardous Waste Management, of Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended (NREPA).
A transporter is required to submit a renewal application 90 days prior to expiration of their current credential.
Liquid Industrial By-Products (formerly Liquid Industrial Waste) (LIB) Transportation
This program mirrors the National Uniform Program and requires registration and permitting of liquid industrial by-products transporters who are regulated under Part 121, Liquid Industrial By-Products, of the NREPA. The National Uniform Program encompasses only hazardous materials, which includes hazardous waste. LIB transportation is managed under a separate program called the Michigan LIB Uniform Program.
Until a new credential is issued the transporter has no authority for that LIB transportation. Hazardous waste transporters participating in the National Uniform Program and transporting liquid industrial by-products regulated pursuant to Part 121 of the NREPA must complete "The State of Michigan, Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, LIB Uniform Program Fee Worksheet, Attachment A", Form EQP5122. The submittal of Attachment A, with appropriate fees, must be made 90 days prior to the expiration of the current Michigan LIB Uniform Program credential. A hazardous waste transporter also transporting liquid industrial by-products, who is properly registered and permitted will have two credentials issued. One credential is for the National Uniform Program and the other credential is for the Michigan LIB Uniform Program. Failure to maintain a proper National Uniform Program credential, including maintaining the required MCS-90 for hazardous waste transportation, invalidates the Michigan LIB credential. If the credential is invalidated, full participation in the registration and permit process of the Michigan LIB Uniform Program is required to transport LIB in Michigan.
A person who is transporting only liquid industrial by-products must complete the Michigan LIB Program application as well as Attachment A noted above. The submittal of the complete Michigan LIB Uniform Program application, Attachment A, with appropriate fees, must be made 90 days prior to the expiration of the Michigan LIB Uniform Program credential.
General Information
Upon issuance of the Uniform Credentials, whether through the National Uniform Program or Michigan LIB (formerly LIW) Uniform Program, a copy of the credentials must be carried in all motor vehicles. The National Uniform Credentials must be carried when transporting hazardous waste or hazardous materials in the other states participating in the National Uniform Program.
Questions regarding this program should be directed to Ms. Sandra Ray, Transportation Unit, Warren District Office, Materials Management Division, at 586-753-3850 or by email at RayS1@Michigan.gov.
