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.

The grants will address PFAS contamination related to the use of PFAS-containing firefighting foam, commonly found at airports. Michigan, a national leader in protecting people from PFAS chemicals, recently announced $9 million in grants to 19 municipal airports across the state. The grants will address PFAS contamination related to the use of PFAS-containing firefighting foam, commonly found at airports.
The funding will be used for a wide range of activities including PFAS testing and monitoring, developing feasibility studies to identify potential source control and cleanup strategies for groundwater and stormwater, and cleaning firefighting equipment and replacement firefighter turn-out gear.
“These grants will enable airports to address historical PFAS contamination,” Abigail Hendershott, executive director of the Michigan PFAS Action Network (MPART) said. “The most common source of PFAS at airports is the use of firefighting foam during aircraft fires, training activities and periodic fire truck testing. These activities have released PFAS into the soil, groundwater and surface water, which can ultimately migrate off of the airport property. These grants will help find source areas, delineate the extent of groundwater contamination and in a few cases, address the contamination onsite.”
This funding follows two previous rounds of PFAS grant funding for airport — in 2020 and 2022 — both of which were limited to testing and monitoring activities.
“The unique part of this funding opportunity is that there was a separate pot of funding for cleaning out fire trucks and/or purchasing new firefighting turn-out gear,” Hendershott added. “Thirteen airports will be cleaning out at least one fire truck, and several will be purchasing new turn-out gear.”
The following airports have been awarded funding:
A total of 21 applications requesting $14.8 million for the $9 million in allocated grant funding were received in response to the request for proposals from the Michigan PFAS Response Team (MPART).
Commonly known as PFAS, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are a group of potentially harmful man-made chemicals used in thousands of applications globally, including firefighting foam, food packaging, and many other consumer and industrial applications. They do not break down easily in the environment and are known to accumulate in the tissues of living organisms.
MPART is a team of seven state agencies established under an Executive Directive in 2017 to ensure coordination in implementing a response to PFAS contamination. MPART became an enduring body under an Executive Order in 2019. The goal of MPART is to protect public health by identifying sources of PFAS, addressing PFAS contamination at the sources, and working with local health departments to protect people in areas where groundwater is impacted by PFAS.
