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.

Staffers in the Environmental Investigation Section (EIS), a joint effort between the Michigan departments of Environment, Great Lakes (EGLE), and Energy and Natural Resources (DNR), have become experts in “cold cases” since they’ve taken the “polar plunge” into an icy pool of water to raise funds for Special Olympics.
The EIS team -- called the Trash Pandas -- at the Mt. Pleasant Polar Plunge in 2024.
All EIS Officers participated in the Mt. Pleasant event for the third time, this year raising approximately $8,000 for the charity that provides sports training and competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, says Vence Woods, a first lieutenant with EIS. The group won “most funds raised by law enforcement” for the third year in a row! Each year, they have raised more funds.
EIS was a sponsor of this year’s event, with its badge and design included on the t-shirts and banners.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has selected four tribes in Michigan to receive more than $38 million in Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) made available by the Biden-Harris Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
