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.

In addition, any water treatment additive (WTA) that is discharged to a surface water of the state from an NPDES permitted discharge requires prior review and approval by the WRD. Pesticides used for controlling mosquito larvae in waters discharged under NPDES permits are considered WTAs. Requests to perform pesticide treatment in wastewater treatment systems and catch basins covered by an NPDES permit must originate from the permittee and be made under the Water Treatment Additive approval process.
For applications of pesticides to catch basins and/or waters in a storm sewer system or wastewater treatment system that are covered by an NPDES permit, an approval under the Water Treatment Additive approval process is necessary. This includes municipalities, industries and stormwater sewer systems under the Phase I and Phase II stormwater regulations.
