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.

Vapor intrusion sometimes occurs where chemicals were spilled, leaked, or dumped and not cleaned up.
For example, properties such as gas stations, dry cleaners, or businesses operating metal parts degreasers use chemicals like gasoline or solvents that can cause vapor intrusion. If these chemicals are mishandled and get into the ground, they can move through the soil and groundwater. Although the chemicals are often released as liquid, they easily evaporate, becoming a vapor in the air that you often cannot see or smell.
At some point, the vapors may come in contact with your home or business – usually around your basement or your floor. These vapors may get into your home through openings such as cracks, or other openings around pipes and sumps. This is a concern because you may breathe in these harmful vapors without knowing it.
Watch this 2-minute video to learn what vapor intrusion is, what causes it, why it is a concern, and what can typically be done to address a vapor intrusion problem.
Vapor intrusion is the process of vapors migrating from volatile chemicals in contaminated soil or ground water through subsurface soils and/or preferential pathways (such as underground utilities) and impacting the indoor air quality of any overlying buildings. The volatilization to indoor air pathway (VIAP) is the exposure pathway that evaluates the risk posed from vapor intrusion and direct volatilization.
The VIAP information linked to this web page includes specific guidance developed by EGLE, reference materials including technical resources, training opportunities, and examples of VIAP investigations completed within the state of Michigan. There is also a district point of contact for any questions you may have on the VIAP in your area.
