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 ensures that Michigan's air remains clean by regulating sources of air pollutants to minimize adverse impact on human health and the environment.
EGLE's Air Quality Division's goals are to meet and maintain air quality standards and limit emissions of hazardous and toxic pollutants.
Last year, staff performed 2,926 air quality inspections, including 2,034 asbestos-related inspections and 892 inspections at industrial facilities.
Staff also received almost 40,000 notifications of demolition or renovation work through the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants program.
The Division releases a Year in Review each March with details about the program, including information on air quality inspections and enforcement actions among other things.
