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.

EGLE issued a remarkable 2,284 permits in Fiscal Year 2020 for projects to help Michiganders protect homes and critical infrastructure from severe erosion and flooding associated with historically high Great Lakes water levels. Hundreds more permits were issued for preferred alternatives, such as moving homes and structures farther away from the shoreline.
In addition to organizing and hosting the Michigan High Water Summit to facilitate federal, state and local coordination on flood and erosion response activities, EGLE presented four virtual high water townhall webinars, which were viewed by more than 8,500 residents and community leaders across the state to learn more about the department's permitting programs.
