An interactive map displaying contaminated sites throughout Michigan regulated under Parts 213, 201, and 211.
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.
Anyone wishing to formally serve legal documents upon the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), or its officers or employees, may do so by the following methods.

EGLE staff sampling River Raisin. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has announced the newly updated E coli Pollution and Solution Mapper.
In 2017 Michigan launched the E coli Pollution and Solution Mapper as part of the development of the Statewide E coli Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). The new mapper provides improved performance, adds new layers, and achieves compliance with the American Disability Act.
Newly added layers include Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation manure and waste land-application areas, approved and pending Nine Element Watershed Management Plans, and updates include using the newest available United States Census data, Agricultural Census data, cropland, and land cover data. As part of this process, many of the layers were also made available on the Open Data Portal.
The issue of E coli contamination of our rivers, lakes, and beaches is complex. There are a multitude of potential sources, and there is rarely a single source or single solution. EGLE has regulations that it implements and enforces with the goal of reducing contamination.
The purpose of this mapping tool is to allow users to explore water quality monitoring locations, and to evaluate potential point and nonpoint sources of fecal pollution in their local areas.
The Statewide E coli TMDL was approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in 2019 and was designed to be expanded as new water quality data become available.
This Mapping Application is the best way to follow and visualize updates to the Statewide E coli TMDL as it changes every two years and to view new E coli monitoring locations and results.
To assist agencies, organizations, and the general public with making the most of this mapping application, EGLE has launched a Mapper User Guide.

The passage of the FY26 state budget ensures that the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) can continue its vital work protecting our state’s air, land, water, and energy resources. While this year’s budget reflects a modest reduction for EGLE, it maintains core funding and staffing levels necessary to deliver on our mission to protect Michigan’s natural resources and safeguard public health. We appreciate the Governor and Legislature’s continued support for environmental protection and public health.
