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.
Tracking and understanding all of the state and federal environmental regulations affecting local governments can be a daunting task. We provide simple explanations and helpful resources for the regulatory programs that apply to local government operations and access to funding resources that promote sustainability on this page.

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.

In most cases, only a single test should be requested for each sample container submitted. Exceptions are Unit 33 (inorganic) and Unit 36ME (metals) which are applicable to several analyses on the test list and contain sufficient volume for multiple tests.
Sample container units are described on the Request for Water Analysis form. Note that the numbers identifying each type of unit (under heading, UNIT NUMBER) correspond to those given on available test listings. Sample unit numbers should be used as catalog numbers when ordering sample containers.
Containers for use in the EGLE laboratory may be obtained in the following ways:
