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.

A Brownfield Redevelopment Grant from the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) will help the city of West Branch and West Branch Pharmacy, LLC, redevelop a contaminated site at 508 East Houghton Avenue, West Branch, in Ogemaw County. The brownfield grant will help protect residents, employees, and customers from contamination and revitalize the former gasoline filling station.
Former Little Reds gasoline station to be redeveloped into West Branch Pharmacy.
The property historically operated as a gas station from the 1970s to 2004 and utilized 10 underground storage tanks to store various types of fuel. During the gas station’s operation, four releases involving unleaded gasoline, diesel, and kerosene were reported between 1995 and 2004, resulting in the contamination of both soil and groundwater with petroleum related products. The previous property owner conducted two excavations that removed underground storage tanks and impacted soils from the property. Since 2004, the property has remained vacant and unused.
