EGLE's interactive calendar is designed to provide timely information on decisions before the Director, proposed settlements of contested cases, administrative rules promulgation, public hearings, meetings and comment deadlines, and environmental conferences, workshops and training programs.
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’s (EGLE) Energy Services has partnered with host sites and utilities to fund 97 direct current (DC) fast-charging stations housing 206 charging units around the state, and more are on the way.

EGLE has so far allocated $6,548,620 from Volkswagen State Mitigation Trust funding earmarked to each U.S. state and targeted to build out a strategically planned electric vehicle (EV) charging network across Michigan. The DC fast chargers will seamlessly connect with other highly traveled Midwest routes as the number of EVs on the road continues to grow.
This progress supports the call in Michigan’s MI Healthy Climate Plan (MHCP) for infrastructure to support two million EVs on Michigan roads by 2030. The MHCP is the state’s action plan to create jobs, lower energy costs, and advance equity while putting our state on the path to carbon neutrality by 2050.
EGLE’s Charge Up Michigan Program offers grants to public or private entities that cover a third of the cost of a charging station — up to $70,000 — for site preparation, equipment, installation, and signage. Utilities have provided $6.1 million, host sites $6.6 million and EGLE $6.5 million for a total of $19.2 million invested so far in building out the DC fast-charging network. EGLE is committed to the future of mobility through investment in infrastructure that is needed to support EVs and has identified optimal charger locations across Michigan.
In addition to Charge Up Michigan, 2023 marks the start of EGLE’s administration of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program (NEVI). This new, U.S. Department of Transportation-funded program will complement existing initiatives and help expand the development of Michigan’s charging infrastructure along highway corridors. Michigan is to receive $110 million in NEVI funding through fiscal year 2026.
This project showcases EGLE’s commitment to long-term investments in water infrastructure and the partnerships that make them possible.
The goal is to create a list of project ideas generated by community members and community groups that can serve as a resource for future funding opportunities.
EGLE grants have helped rural and underserved communities in Michigan host e-waste collection events.
The grant application period for schools and childcare center is open through Oct. 18.
The CELICA partnership is pointing the way for similar efforts to support low-income communities around the U.S. and abroad.
The grants aim to advance the research, development, or demonstration of projects to create innovative and practical approaches to increase the reuse and recycling of batteries and other critical minerals through investments in Michigan’s universities and colleges. Today’s awards will spur innovation and strengthen Michigan’s critical mineral supply chain while protecting our natural resources and reliance on the extraction of new materials.
This autumn, don’t just think about composting your yard waste -- make it happen!
Michigan has selected 25 community-based organizations to join the state’s first Michigan (MI) Justice40 Accelerator, a 12-month program designed to build capacity and provide funding, training, and technical support to organizations serving under-resourced and underserved communities statewide. The year-long program will help meet the goals of the MI Healthy Climate Plan while addressing historical inequities.
With aging infrastructure, emerging contaminants and changing environmental conditions, the responsibility to protect water resources continues to grow.
