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.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced they were redesignating the sulfur dioxide (SO2) nonattainment area in Wayne County back to attainment.
SO2 is one of six well-studied pollutants called criteria air pollutants. These pollutants have been identified as being particularly harmful to humans and the environment. To protect the public, the EPA has created National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) at specific levels designed to reduce exposure and risk. When an area exceeds a NAAQS, it may be designated as nonattainment. To return the area to attainment of the standard, the state must take steps to reduce that pollutant in the outdoor air.
The area in Wayne County had been considered as being in nonattainment with the SO2 NAAQS since 2013. After years of working toward attainment, the Michigan Department of Environment Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) was able to demonstrate that the area meets the redesignation requirements under Section 107(d)(3) of the Clean Air Act and EPA guidance.
Former SO2 nonattainment maintenance area in Wayne County. The air quality improvements are due to permanent and enforceable measures. This is a result of the SO2 emission limits put in place and the closure of the DTE River Rouge and Trenton Channel facilities. SO2 levels in this area are below the NAAQS. These measures ensure the area will continue to maintain compliance with the 2010 primary 1-hour SO2 standard. EGLE has demonstrated that all Clean Air Act requirements necessary to support redesignation have been met.
SO2 levels over time. The work does not stop with the redesignation. When an area is designated back to attainment there must be a plan to show it can continue to meet the standard. Michigan has a maintenance plan to show how the region will continue to maintain the level of air quality it has achieved. The plan details how air quality will be maintained, considering projected growth, for a period of 10 years. If SO2 levels no longer meet the criteria, the maintenance plan helps determine the ways the problem can be addressed.
If you have questions about the redesignation, contact Erica Shuff at ShuffE@Michigan.gov or 517-897-0791.
