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.

Comprehensive Soil Erosion & Sedimentation Control (SESC) Certification allows you to:
*Those individuals responsible for plan review and/or design, permit issuance determinations, and decisions on enforcement actions are required to have valid certificates of Comprehensive Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Training.
*Construction Stormwater Operator (CSWO) Certification is a prerequisite to Comprehensive Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Certification. If you do not currently have CSWO Certification, you MAY elect to register for and take both the CSWO exam and the Comprehensive exam on the same day. If you choose this option, please note: If you fail the CSW exam, your Comprehensive Exam will not be graded and will be considered an automatic fail. You will be required to pay for both exams prior to receiving the results and before being allowed to retest.
To become certified in Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan Review and Design, please visit our training page for all self-study training materials and exam registration information.
Individuals should check the status of their SESC Plan Review & Design (i.e. Comprehensive SESC) certification date (XLSX).
The CSWO certification is a prerequisite to the SESC Plan Review & Design (i.e. Comprehensive SESC) certification. Therefore, an individual must possess the CSWO certification first before being able to register for the SESC Plan Review & Design training and exam. If the individual is unsure whether or not they have the CSWO certification (or their date of expiration, as discussed earlier), they can check for their name on the List of Construction Stormwater Certified Operators.
If an individual needs both certifications, there are two ways to complete this task:
DISCLOSURE: Payment will be required for both exams; regardless of test score. The CSWO exam is always graded first, with the SESC Plan Review & Design exam to be graded second. If an individual fails the CSWO exam, their SESC Plan Review & Design exam will be thrown out as an automatic fail (yet payment will still be required). An individual will NOT receive future exam results until payment for both failed exams is received.
