The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s (EGLE) Water Well Viewer (WWV), is an interactive mapping system that displays water wells along with other information, such as wellhead protection areas, underground storage tanks, and sites of environmental contamination. Water well locations have been identified by address matching, the use of global positioning systems (GPS), and by legal descriptions.
This system allows water well drilling and pump installation contractors to submit water well records.
EGLE's interactive calendar is designed to provide timely information on decisions before the Director, proposed settlements of contested cases, administrative rules promulgation, public hearings, meetings and comment deadlines, and environmental conferences, workshops and training programs.
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 staff show air quality resources during the event in Detroit. National Clean Air Month started in 1972 and takes place throughout May. Kicking off with Air Quality Awareness Week (#AQAW2025), the month is dedicated to raising awareness about air quality issues and reducing air pollution.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s (EGLE) Air Quality Division has been playing a vital role in protecting Michigan’s air quality for 60 years. During National Clean Air Month, air quality staff participate in events with community partners to assist in providing resources for Michigan residents. Air Quality Division staff from air monitoring, toxicology, and field inspections areas participated in an event at Wayne County Community College on May 10, sponsored by JustAir. The event -- Mobile Monitor Distribution & Health Fair for Wayne County Young People with Asthma -- was set up to provide resources to Wayne County residents with asthma.
EGLE’s Air Quality Division helps to protect public health, including sensitive groups of people like those with asthma, by regulating industrial sources of pollution. In addition to inspectors, enforcement staff, and permit writers, we also have a team of air monitoring staff, toxicologists, and meteorologists working daily to ensure Michigan’s air quality is protected.
Being able to work with the public and attend community events is important. Attendance allows EGLE to provide resources to residents and answer air quality questions one-on-one.
