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.

There are many ways to indicate your support for Michigan's vast water resources, the envy of many worldwide.Another way to show off your passion while helping to fund water-related programs is to buy a water quality specialty license plate the next time you need new tags for your vehicle.
The "Protecting Our Waters" plate features a red sailboat as it cuts through Michigan's deep blue waters under a cheery orange sun. What better way to let everyone know that it's critically important to protect the state's most valuable resource?
The plate, which costs $35 ($25 of which goes toward water quality), is available for use on passenger cars, pickup trucks, vans and motor homes; however, motorcycles and trailers are not eligible for the plate. Money raised from the sale of the specialty plates is used for grants to local units of government to support activities that protect Michigan's lakes, rivers and streams.
So, sail on over to the Secretary of State's Fundraising License Plates website where you'll find information about the plate and how to order one by mail. If you're into the outdoors there are also specialty plates that fund lighthouse preservation, wildlife habitat and Ducks Unlimited.
