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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Anyone wishing to formally serve legal documents upon the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), or its officers or employees, may do so by the following methods.

The photos below capture a successful application of biosolids to a mine tailing area. This was done in order to encourage growth, referred to as “mine reclamation.” Tailings, or the rock waste from ore mining, is amassed in large, almost mountainous piles. Because it is simply rock that has been processed for its ore, there is no soil or nutrients in the tailings. Biosolids are placed or sprayed on the tailings to provide both nutrient value and a medium for plant growth. After the application of biosolids, plant mulch with grass seed is sprayed onto the biosolids covered tailings. As plants successfully grow and then die with the change of seasons, further organic mass is added to the tailing piles. Successful mine reclamation allows for adding plant biomass to an otherwise pile of lifeless rocks, creating habitat and preventing water runoff.
