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.

The Scrap Tire Program regulates transportation, storage and disposal of scrap tires, and operates through the Materials Management Division (MMD) in the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy. Scrap tires can threaten the environment and public health. Run-off from scrap tire fires can contaminate groundwater and surface water, and scrap tire sites are an ideal habitat for the breeding of mosquitoes carrying disease such as West Nile Virus.
The program also supports development of markets and beneficial end uses of scrap tire products through EGLE grants.
