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.

For information on geological mapping and applied research activities please see the Michigan Geological Survey. The Oil, Gas, and Minerals Division (OGMD) was previously named the Office of Geological Survey (OGS). In addition to our regulatory duties, the OGS was responsible for geological mapping and applied research. In October 2011, an act of the Legislature established a new Michigan Geological Survey as part of Western Michigan University and transferred the mapping and research responsibilities to the new organization. The OGS was then renamed the Office of Oil, Gas, and Minerals (OOGM) and is now OGMD. As part of the transfer of geological mapping and applied research the Michigan Geological Survey at Western Michigan University will submit an annual report to the OGMD. Please follow the Michigan Geological Survey link to see the Michigan Geological Survey Annual Reports.
