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.

Michigan is bordered by four of the five Great Lakes and has the nation’s longest freshwater coastline—3,288 miles. Our coast makes up about 62% of the Great Lakes basin, stretching across 8 U.S. states and 2 Canadian provinces. It’s diverse, featuring:
Approximately 387 communities line Michigan’s Great Lakes shores. These communities face challenges from fluctuating water levels, stronger storms, and climate change impacts. Protecting people, property, and natural resources requires creative, adaptive planning.
Community resilience is the ability of a community to understand and use available resources to respond to, withstand, and recover from adverse events.
Resilient communities are prepared for erosion, flooding, and other Great Lakes hazards. Through resilient planning, communities can:
Learn how Michigan’s coastal communities can become resilient-ready and protect the Great Lakes for generations to come.
The MCMP Resilient Coastal Communities Adaptation Strategies Toolkit (MCMP Toolkit) is a NOAA-approved program enhancement strategy that helps develop guidelines, procedures, and policy that will result in meaningful improvements in coastal resource management.
The toolkit aims to provide technical guidance on adaptive approaches for the protection, preservation, and restoration of coastal features that local decision-makers can adopt within their local zoning ordinances and on-the-ground solutions to reduce coastal risks from erosion, flooding, and urban heat.
The toolkit recommends taking a balanced approach for preserving, protecting, and restoring natural infrastructure while promoting accessible coastal infrastructure and public safety.
The Coastal Leadership Academy is a free, hands-on training program led by Michigan’s Coastal Management Program (MCMP) for coastal communities across Michigan. Each one-day module is designed for local government staff, planners, elected officials, planning commissioners, and other community leaders. Participants learn practical, widely available resilience tools while connecting with peers to share challenges and plan for future coastal conditions.
