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.

A new interactive story map -- EGLE's Air Quality Division Releases 2023 Year in Review -- takes you on a trip through the division's important work.
Air Quality Division staffer takes an air sample.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's Air Quality Division (AQD) staff work year-round to protect Michigan's air through activities such as air permitting, inspections, testing, modeling, and monitoring. The AQD staff works on evaluating toxic air contaminants, collecting emission information, and rule writing among other things.
“One of our goals is to get better every year. We cannot do that without learning from the past. What happened in 2023 will shape how we work in 2024. We will prioritize the protection of public health and the environment by equitably applying our air quality rules and regulations. This would not be possible without our talented staff," says AQD Director Annette Switzer.
Metrics only tell part of EGLE's AQD story. The staff is diverse, and the work they do to protect the public is varied and complex. The numbers say a lot about that work, but it's the people doing it that continue to show their passion for upholding EGLE's mission to protect public health and the environment. Some 190 air quality staffers played a role in the metrics you will find in this year's story map and infographic.

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.
