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 Great Lake coastlines have extensive coastal dunes on Lakes Michigan, Huron and Superior. Some of the dunes have been designated as critical dune areas, approximately 74,000 acres along 265 miles of coastline. Critical dune areas represent a diverse cross-section of dune shapes, height, and vegetation along Lake Michigan's shoreline in the lower and upper peninsulas, and the shore of Lake Superior. The designated dunes include public lands and private properties where developmental, silvicultural, and recreational activities are regulated. A permit is required for those activities which significantly alter the physical characteristics or propose a contour change in a critical dune area. Learn more about critical dune areas at Michigan.gov/CriticalDunes. You can also check out EGLE's FAQ documents at the links below:
