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 person who nominated Berman noted his professionalism in assisting communities to make the most of the limited funding available to support their utilities. He is “a valuable source of information and goes above and beyond to help communities secure State Revolving Funds to finance utility upgrades and new construction.”
“Being recognized in this way for what I do professionally (or ‘just doing my job’, as I see it) is most confounding to me,” said Berman. “I am most grateful to all the people who have challenged me and helped me to learn and grow in my life and enabled me to get this far. I am tremendously honored to be selected to receive this award. This is an incredible development for me, a most significant milestone in my life.”
Berman has worked at the department for 20 years.
The person who nominated Alwin said, “She is a relentless advocate and collaborator for stormwater and watersheds across the State of Michigan.”
“This award is an honor. I’m thankful for the opportunities MWEA has provided to learn from experienced stormwater management professionals and inform the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program,” said Alwin. “I hope to continue to share my passion for stormwater as an MWEA member.”
Alwin has worked at the department for 22 years.
