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 Benzie County and Convenience Management, LLC redevelop a contaminated commercial property 10791 Main St. in the village of Honor.
Rendering of the proposed redevelopment in Honor, Mich.
The project site, locally known as the former Bud’s in Honor, operated as a gasoline service station and repair shop from the mid-1960s into the early 2000s. Leaking fuel from the underground storage tanks that supported these operations contaminated the soil and groundwater with petroleum related volatile organic compounds.
The $650,000 EGLE brownfield redevelopment grant will be used to address the contamination and ensure the property is safe for reuse by funding additional environmental investigation, removal and proper disposal of contaminated soil, and treatment of contaminated groundwater that surfaces during excavation.
With approximately $3 million in private investment, Convenience Management LLC will construct a modern gas station with five pump islands and a 4,500-square-foot convenience store. The new station will provide increased service delivery to residents, commuters, and visitors, offer an expanded selection of fuel grades, and accommodate larger commercial vehicles that cannot access the only existing station in the village. Upon completion, the project is expected to create an additional two full-time equivalent positions, increase the village’s tax base, and put an underutilized commercial property back into productive reuse.
