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.

When the pandemic hit in the spring of 2020, Michigan EGLE pivoted quickly to move the many in-person meetings, hearings and informational sessions to virtual online events. That transition has been a success, with the organization attracting thousands of Michiganders to learn about and provide input into environmental regulation in the state.
With a full slate of online meetings last year, EGLE shattered its record for attendees, reaching more than 33,000 people through virtual sessions.
In 2021, EGLE hosted 138 external training events with 33,302 attendees -- a record number. Events included the MI Environmental Justice Conference and the Great Lakes PFAS Summit. The department also hosted and moderated 74 public meetings and hearings with 2,848 attendees.
All of EGLE's public meeting recordings are available via its YouTube channel.
Recordings of past training events and information on upcoming events are on the EGLE Events webpage. Public hearings and other online events are listed on the EGLE calendar.
