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.

In advance of Lake Superior Day (July 18), MI Environment highlights an infographic in the most recent State of the Great Lakes report that briefly summarizes progress made on the effort to remove stamp sands from the Lake Superior shoreline.
Legacy contaminants such as copper mine tailings (stamp sands) from the Wolverine and Mohawk mines are migrating southward due to wave action on the Lake Superior shoreline and inundating Buffalo Reef, off the Keweenaw Peninsula.
Various efforts over the past few years, including removing a 25-foot-high stamp-sand ridge from the Lake Superior shoreline, dredging of a natural trough that is in Lake Superior north of the reef and dredging of Grand Traverse Harbor.
Behind the effort: Michigan Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission and the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.
