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.

Two projects supported by the Scrap Tire Program at the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) were recognized with awards recently.
“Michigan’s scrap tire program’s strengths are our partnerships,” says Kirsten Clemens, EGLE’s scrap tire coordinator, “and it’s gratifying to see that others are noticing. These awards recognize the program’s innovative applications – from rubber roads to market development.”

The National Asphalt Pavement Association’s 2025 Quality in Construction Award – Green Category went to the Ellsworth Road paving project in Washtenaw County. The award recognizes an innovative road project that used rubber-modified asphalt pavement incorporating recycled tire materials to support both high pavement performance and sustainable infrastructure.
Cadillac Asphalt paved Ellsworth Road from Carpenter Road to Platt Road in Washtenaw County with a rubberized hot mix asphalt (RHMA) material, the first road to incorporate this material in the greater Ann Arbor area. The use of RHMA is a sustainable paving practice that conserves natural resources, cuts emissions, reduces landfill waste, and improves pavement longevity.
The project was made possible through collaboration of the Michigan Technological University (MTU) research team, EGLE, the Washtenaw County Road Commission, and industry partners.
Kirsten Clemens, EGLE’s scrap tire coordinator (center), receives an award from the Tire Recycling Foundation for the department’s scrap tire market development efforts. EGLE was recognized by the Tire Recycling Foundation (TRF) for its scrap tire market development efforts.
The TRF’s Circle of Change Awards highlight the people and partnerships turning challenges into opportunities, building markets, driving innovation, and shaping a more sustainable future for end-of-life tire management across the United States.
The market development excellence award recognizes efforts that have built sustained, scalable demand for tire-derived products, turning recycled tire materials into a reliable component of state and regional infrastructure programs.
The TRF said Michigan’s initiative – made up of a coalition of public, private, and academic partners -- demonstrated that recycled tire materials can solve practical transportation and stormwater challenges while building market confidence in recycled tire materials.
EGLE annually offers grant funding for developing new markets for the use of scrap tires and expanding the use of RHMA in paving. The City of Ann Arbor has recently paved two streets using RHMA, as a pilot, in partnership with MTU using grant funding from EGLE. They will be evaluating the performance of the newly paved roads. They expect, given rubberized asphalt is smoother than traditional asphalt, that it will create less street noise, provide better fuel economy, and improve wet weather traction.
See the Scrap Tire Program Market Development Grants webpage to learn more about past recipients and the next cycle for accepting grant application proposals.

The festival is celebrating lake sturgeon coinciding with Great Lakes and Fresh Water Week, June 6-14
In Michigan, we are embraced by the Great Lakes, supported by vast groundwater reserves, protected by wetlands, and always within a few miles of a flowing stream or inland lake. When we protect these freshwater resources, we ensure they will continue to sustain our lives and livelihoods as Michiganders.
EGLE won the award because of its successful paid internship program.
The State of Michigan recently released its first annual report under the updated Domestic Action Plan (DAP) for reducing the phosphorus runoff that feeds harmful algal blooms in western Lake Erie.
In the wake of the floods, legislation would ramp up oversight and address risks and responsibilities.
The goal of the report is to raise recycling rates and reduce fires at waste and recycling facilities, while recovering valuable, precious metals.
The pest is on Michigan’s Invasive Species Watch List because persistent infestation weakens trees, kills branches and slowly causes trees to decline or die.
EGLE Vets and others recently joined together for a cleanup project at the Michigan Veteran Homes at Grand Rapids cemetery.
There are a wealth of fascinating fossils to be found while combing for ancient treasures in Michigan.
