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.

In a tradition that started nine years ago, the latest annual hockey game between the Cadillac District Office staff at the Michigan Department of Environment Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and staffers of the Department of Natural Resource (DNR) took place recently.
EGLE Director Phil Roos holds the trophy with hockey players.
This year, the EGLE team – made up of staffers from around the state -- was victorious at the fast-paced game in March held at the Wexford County Ice Arena in Cadillac known as “The Wex.”
Helping to secure the 7-4 victory was EGLE Director Phil Roos.
EGLE fans cheered on the team.
The trophy was fashioned by Jim Staley of the department’s Materials Management Division. “The base of the trophy is made from plywood scraps from my various woodworking projects,” he explained. “The columns are made from a couple pieces of electrical conduit leftover from when I wired my pole barn. The puck is made from two pieces of scrap medium density fiberboard (MDF) laminated together and then coated in rubberized undercoating spray left over from a camper renovation project. Lastly, all of the vinyl wraps and decals are made from remnants from my wife’s various Cricut projects.”
“The DNR and EGLE staff in Cadillac have had a friendly rivalry,” added EGLE’s Susan Conradson, the game’s organizer. “We compete in a fishing contest and softball as well.”
