A complete list of all programs within the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE)
Community involvement and public participation are an essential part of EGLE’s mission, vision, and values.
SARA Title III establishes requirements regarding emergency planning and "Community Right-to-Know" reporting on hazardous and toxic chemicals for federal, state, local, and tribal governments, as well as regulated facilities.
Resources and information on utilizing RRD's data exchange and the Inventory of Facilities.
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 staffer Mike Shelton set up on top of a large landfill with tables of drone equipment laid out before him, preparing a drone for its next flight to monitor methane emissions. Michigan is launching a series of challenge-based pilot programs to advance the integration of drones for solving real-world government agency problems. The programs have four goals:
The Office of Future Mobility and Electrification (OFME) is seeking proposals for transformative projects that will solve key challenges for state departments. Proposed solutions should leverage AAM technologies.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is one of the departments participating in the AAM Statewide Mobility Challenge. The department is holding an informational webinar session on Jan. 13 and 15.
EGLE safeguards public health and natural resources, but today's monitoring network has critical gaps. Real time coverage exists for only a limited set of pollutants, many measurements still depend on manual sampling and lab analysis, and existing methods often do not provide the information needed for real-time decision making. Air monitoring is often needed in areas where it is difficult to measure - urban settings, industrial areas, or transportation corridors. On water, field teams must deploy and retrieve probes by hand, throttling frequency and scale while delaying response to contamination events. EGLE seeks Advanced Aerial Mobility solutions that expand real time air and water sensing, add flexible on demand deployments after incidents, and automate data collection to improve coverage, speed, and decision readiness across Michigan.
Michigan has long been the center of American mobility innovation. Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is a new mobility frontier, presenting an opportunity for Michigan to demonstrate next-generation industrial leadership. As the global aviation sector grows rapidly, the United States must hasten to commercialize unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) technologies, strengthen critical supply chains, and reduce dependence on foreign manufacturing. Michigan plays a leading role in building a strong and secure domestic drone sector by leveraging our manufacturing core, engineering expertise and statewide infrastructure to build, test, commercialize, and scale AAM technologies.

In FY 2025 Michigan’s State Revolving Fund (SRF) awarded low interest loan dollars to 55 projects totaling over $880 million in assistance directly to communities.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the natural decay of uranium found in all soil types. Radon gas enters buildings from the soil and can accumulate to high concentrations indoors. You cannot see, smell, or taste radon, and there are no short-term side effects that could cause alarm or warn of its presence.
EGLE published 182 MI Environment stories during the course of the year.
Finding the best option for getting rid of outdated electronics is getting easier every year.
In Fiscal Year 2025, EGLE received over 17,800 requests under the Freedom of Information Act.
The 2025 report focuses on how individuals, communities, organizations, universities, tribes, and governments unite around the waters, ecology, and economy of Michigan’s Great Lakes.
EGLE’s accomplishments represent safer communities, healthier families, and a more sustainable future for all Michiganders.
