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.

On October 30, 2014, the US Environmental Protection Agency announced that the Deer Lake Area of Concern was "delisted" or removed from the international list of Great Lakes AOCs following successful restoration efforts.
Deer Lake is a 906 acre impoundment located in central Marquette County in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and is connected to Lake Superior by the Carp River. The former Deer Lake Area of Concern includes Carp Creek below the former Ishpeming Wastewater Treatment Plant, Deer Lake, and the Carp River to Lake Superior.
Disposal of mining chemicals, byproducts and materials, unacceptable by today's standards, resulted in the contamination of sediments with high levels of mercury. The lake was also historically enriched by inadequately treated sewage discharges from the area.
