A complete list of all programs within the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE)
Community involvement and public participation are an essential part of EGLE’s mission, vision, and values.
Resources and information on utilizing RRD's data exchange and the Inventory of Facilities.
An interactive map displaying contaminated sites throughout Michigan regulated under Parts 213, 201, and 211.
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.

Volume 4: Investigative approach for petroleum VIAP
A vapor source in contact with a structure occurs when there is either 1) NAPL in contact with a structure or 2) there is a shallow groundwater vapor source above applicable unrestricted residential VIAC in contact with or entering a structure. A vapor source is in contact with a structure when, after considering seasonal variation to the depth to groundwater and the capillary fringe, there is not a measurable distance between the vapor source and the structure. The structure is measured from the bottom of the slab; the subsurface utilities (including the sump) if they can transport the vapor source and result in direct volatilization to the structure, or subsurface utilities that mobile NAPL has entered, and vapors can migrate in the utility to the structure.
When a vapor source is in contact with a structure, direct volatilization is likely and will need to have an appropriate response activity implemented to evaluate the risks and likely to prevent the direct volatilization into the structure (see Section 6). For the evaluation of immediate risks when this scenario occurs, EGLE’s preference is the sampling of indoor air (Volume 2 – Investigation Methods for the Volatilization to the Indoor Air Pathway (VIAP)). To account for the variations in indoor air, EGLE recommends continuous indoor air monitoring. If the vapor source is being transported via utilities and sumps, EGLE recommends sampling the media in the utilities and sumps, as well as sampling the head space for vapor.
