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.

EGLE Aquatic Biologist Joshua Tellier uses monitoring equipment to measure streamflow.
The Water Resources Division (WRD) of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is soliciting monitoring recommendations for 2025 to support its Surface Water Quality Monitoring Strategy.
Primary goals of the strategy are to:
For 2025, the WRD intends to allocate the majority of its monitoring resources to those watersheds highlighted in the Basin Year 2 Watersheds Map. However, the WRD will consider recommendations for other Michigan watersheds.
Joshua Tellier, an EGLE staffer who works to implement the Surface Water Quality Monitoring Strategy, says this year will feature a revamped process to the way requests are submitted. A new screening tool will help vet suggestions and point people to additional resources that may be available.
“We typically get between 200 and 300 external requests for surface water quality monitoring each year,” Tellier said. “The new screening tool will help reduce the time needed to process the requests. We expect that to increase stakeholder satisfaction.”
If interested, complete the Targeted Monitoring Request (TMR) Screening Form at the Monitoring Request Form web page. The screening form will direct you to appropriate alternative resources if your request is not applicable for the TMR. If targeted monitoring is determined to be the best resource to address your concern, you will be directed to the TMR Submission Form.
Requests should be submitted by Nov. 30, to be considered for the 2025 field season. Submission of a request does not guarantee the WRD will be able to conduct the monitoring. Many factors, including budget, staff availability, and division priorities are taken into consideration during the decision-making process.
