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.

The Water Resources Division (WRD) has developed a wetland education and outreach program to serve the agricultural community, private landowners, developers, the public, and others in dealing with agricultural issues pertaining to Parts 301 and 303 of the NREPA, 1994 PA451, as amended. This program provides programmatic information, presentations, and other general assistance on wetland regulations and agricultural activities. It also provides field services specific to agricultural producers.

As part of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) privately-owned cervidae fencing facilities registration process, the DNR requests EGLE to provide the landowner with information regarding potential wetland, lakes or streams identified within their proposed facility location. This is completed with in-office resources such as EGLE Wetlands Inventory Map and supplies the landowner information on EGLE services such as WIPs and Pre-application meetings. See the DNR webpage for information on privately-owned cervidae facility registration.
