As part of Public Service Recognition Week, MI Environment is highlighting the work of the more than 1,600 scientists, engineers, environmental specialists, and web, communications, events, and administrative support staff who protect Michigan’s air, land, water, energy, and climate every day at the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE).
The week’s purpose is to honor those who serve the public to make Michiganders’ lives safer, stronger, and healthy every day.
“Every day, EGLE employees bring dedication, expertise, and heart to our mission, and this week is designed to highlight that commitment, strengthen connections, and give everyone a moment to feel appreciated,” said EGLE Director Phil Roos.
Here’s are four snapshots of the EGLE team:

Under the federal Clean Air Act, when standards are updated for criteria pollutants (for example, ozone), EGLE must develop a plan on how to meet those standards. When a standard is not met, a new State Implementation Plan (SIP) must be developed to get the area back into attainment.
The goal of the staff of the State Implementation Plan Development Unit (SIPDU) is to, with legislative approval, develop rules that will improve air quality for the state and protect public health.
