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.

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has announced the rebranding of the electronic platform currently called MiWaters, to MiEnviro Portal (MiEnviro).
The renamed MiEnviro Portal is a part of the permitting process, allowing Michiganders to fulfill federal electronic reporting requirements and provides an online component for access to public information.
This rebranding will not affect functionality of the system for users but is being done to expand the use of the system beyond EGLE’s Water Resources Division. The expansion will include various Air Quality Division program areas and the Medical Waste program in the coming year.
What to expect?
You should expect the system to work like it has. Logging in and working in the system will remain the same. Changes to the current system will be cosmetic. For instance, the system will now have the new MiEnviro Portal logo instead of the MiWaters logo.
Although some web addresses will be changed, old addresses will redirect to the new ones for some time. Links in documents will redirect to the new locations. Links online and in guidance information have either been updated or are in the process of being updated.
What should you do?
What’s next?
Information about other programs will be shared as they are added to the system. Overall expectations of timing have been included at Michigan.gov/EGLEMiEnviro and on the program pages. Affected parties are also receiving information specific to them.
These changes and the expansion of EGLE’s capabilities using a digital system improves accessibility for all stakeholders and creates consistency in EGLE’s divisions as well as across industry.
Questions related to the previously named MiWaters system should be sent to:
EGLE-WRD-MiEnviro@Michigan.gov.
If you have questions about the new MiEnviro Portal, please visit Michigan.gov/EGLEMiEnviro for more information on who to contact with your question or concern.
