Steps:

Before you begin

To submit through RIDE, users must register for a MiLogin for Business account, and then request the RIDE application. For instructions on becoming a RIDE registered user, see the Become a RIDE User guidance page.

NOTE: If you were provided MiLogin access as a State worker (i.e., MiLogin for Workers) to perform work related to your contract, you should NOT upload reports or invoices using this account. All RIDE submittals and invoices should be uploaded using a MiLogin for Business account.

Step 1: Navigate to the location submittals

  1. Navigate to the RIDE application and click the “Inventory of Facilities” button.

  2. Search the Inventory of Facilities table for a location by typing known information into the pertinent field.

Step 2: Enter the submittal information

  1. State funded and BSA submittals are submitted using the Non-Form (NF) submittal type in RIDE (unless Statutory Submittal). 
  2. For state funded submittals, the category will be ‘Expanded Environmental Triage Report’ or ‘State Funded Report’, or an alternate category identified by the EGLE project manager.
  3. For BSA submittals, the category will be ‘BSA Submittal.’
  4. Enter the Title of the report. If it is a draft report, indicate that in the title (e.g., Draft Site Status Report).
  5. The Contact Person, Email and Phone should belong to the individual submitting the report.
  6. In the comment section, please denote the following things if applicable:
    1. The Discovery location ID. (e.g., DISC1234)
    2. Indicate if the report is replacing an existing draft submittal. Enter the draft submittal ID and date it was submitted.
      Example: “Replacing 123456789-NF-5, Submitted 6/10/2026”
    3. Indicate if this Non-Form is part of another submission that exceeded file size of 1,000 mb.  Example: Part 2 of 123456789-NF-6, submission.
    4. If none of the options above apply include ‘State Funded Submittal’ or ‘BSA Submittal.’
