EGLE's interactive calendar is designed to provide timely information on decisions before the Director, proposed settlements of contested cases, administrative rules promulgation, public hearings, meetings and comment deadlines, and environmental conferences, workshops and training programs.
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.

Electric school buses, like the one on display at an electric vehicle ride and drive last week in Lansing, will start appearing on Michigan roads later this year, after the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) announces which school districts have been selected to receive grants for electric and alternative fuel buses. Of the $12.96 million in grants available under the program, $3.0 million has been earmarked for the purchase of electric school buses and charging stations.
The buses look just like regular school buses except they are powered entirely by batteries. They produce zero emissions, are quieter than their diesel-powered counterparts and transport students safely to school.
“As part of the new Fuel Transformation Program supported with Volkswagen settlement funds, the grants provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve air quality, particularly for children who are highly vulnerable to the harmful effects of oxides of nitrogen and fine particular matter found in diesel emissions,” said Debbie Swartz, Program Manager.
Watch for the bus at Constitution Hall where it will be on display at EGLE's Earth Day activities on April 24. It is also scheduled to be part of other activities in the Greater Lansing area through April 25.
