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.

As part of Earth Day activities, a group of staffers at the Gaylord District Field Office of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), volunteered for an Adopt-a-Highway litter cleanup in Gaylord. The Michigan Department of Transportation program is designed to help keep the state’s highway roadsides clean and attractive.
Jon Walt, Chris Bowen and Lt. Vence Woods put trash in bags along I-75 near Gaylord, with Deb Woods in the background.
The effort focused on a three-mile stretch along I-75 from the Old State Road overpass to the Charles Brink underpass.
Interest in the volunteer effort was so high that the organizers --the Gaylord Veterans Employee Resource Group and the Environmental Investigative Services – opened it to staffers at EGLE’s Gaylord District Field Office.
Over the course of the day, “the team collected 79 bags and enough car parts to make a pickup truck and trailer, complete with a 2 5/8-inch hitch and receiver,” notes David Bowman, of EGLE’s Air Quality Division. “We bonded and got to know each other in a way that normal office banter does not allow. The different sections came together and focused on a task that is unlike any of our day-to-day mission. It was a very productive day of team building, protecting the environment, and improving the local ecosystem.”
Plans call for two other Adopt-a-Highway cleanups this summer, including the northbound side of that section along I-75.
