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.

Jerrod Sanders, assistant director of EGLE's Water Resources Division, recently joined Kelly McElroy, host of the SustainabiliME podcast to talk about the impact of high water levels throughout the state of Michigan.
Sanders highlighted not only the challenge of record and near-record water levels on the Great Lakes but how the wettest period in Michigan's recorded history has saturated soils all over the state and raised groundwater tables substantially, leading to a variety of effects from crumbling roads, erosion of bluffs and homes that have collapsed into water.
"What's happening right now is affecting every corner of the state in one form or another," said Sanders. "No part of the state is completely immune to it."
"It's not going to be a normal year on the lakeshore this year," he added. "It's really about getting information out and getting people the tools they need to make decisions."
Resources related to high-water issues include:
