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.

Biosolids means solid, semisolid, or liquid residues generated during primary, secondary, or advanced treatment of domestic sanitary sewage through one or more controlled processes that reduce pathogens and attractiveness to vectors (flies, mosquitos, rodents). These processes include, among others, anaerobic digestion, aerobic digestion, and lime stabilization. The term "Biosolids" is related to the definition of sewage sludge found in Part 31, Water Resources Protection of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended; however biosolids are only that portion of sewage sludge that have undergone adequate treatment to permit their application to land. Rule 323.2405 of the Michigan Administrative Code excludes industrial sludge or septage from regulation as biosolids.
