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.
Tracking and understanding all of the state and federal environmental regulations affecting local governments can be a daunting task. We provide simple explanations and helpful resources for the regulatory programs that apply to local government operations and access to funding resources that promote sustainability on this page.

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.

Detroit’s four major professional sports teams all play in a part of the city known as The District Detroit. Ford Field (Lions), Comerica Park (Tigers), and Little Caesars Arena (Red Wings and Pistons) all sit within a few blocks of the I-75/Woodward Avenue interchange. They’re the foundation of what the city calls its premier entertainment hub. Now a new one is forming, and it’s just an 8-minute car ride away.
The Detroit City Football Club (usually referred to as Detroit City FC) started play in 2012. Despite the team’s name, it currently plays its home matches at Keyworth Stadium in Hamtramck, an enclave of Detroit. That’s about to change. A $190 million redevelopment project will build a new stadium near 20th Street and Michigan Avenue. It’s going to be much more than just a stadium, and that’s where EGLE comes in.
The property at 2301 and 2401 20th Street is contaminated with petroleum, chlorinated solvents, and metals thanks to past uses including a railyard, auto repair, and coal and oil storage. Southwest Detroit Hospital operated on the site from 1974-1991 followed by United Community Hospital from 1997-2006. The property has been vacant since then. The hospital building was demolished in 2026.
The vision for the stadium project includes new housing and jobs. EGLE awarded a $1 million Brownfield Redevelopment Grant to help bring that part of the project to life. The grant will pay for additional environmental assessments, removal of contaminated soil, barriers to prevent contact with any remaining contamination, and a vapor venting system for the new five-story, 245,515 square-foot building. It will have 104 housing units, 68 of which will be held for tenants making 60%-80% of the Area Median Income. It will also have 11,682 square feet of commercial space, which is expected to create 25 new jobs.
The 15,000-seat soccer stadium will be on the southern portion of the property. It will be available for community events, entertainment, and other sports. The city anticipates it will draw $5.5 million a year in tourism and visitor spending, along with $1.3 million annually in hotel rooms rented. EGLE funding will not be used for costs directly connected to stadium use, specific stadium utilities, or dedicated infrastructure.
One of the goals of this project is to make the stadium and team part of the southwest Detroit community, particularly the Corktown and Mexicantown neighborhoods. That’s why the city of Detroit and the soccer club have agreed on a $2 million community benefits package that will include:
Longterm, the city sees this redevelopment as a way to connect downtown Detroit to the Detroit Mobility and Innovation Corridor and the Gordie Howe International Bridge. The project will also remove a dangerous, blighted building that tens of thousands of people drive past every day. The city and developers believe it will show the pride, progress, and momentum growing in southwest Detroit and the city overall. The mixed-use portion of the project is scheduled to be ready for occupancy in March of 2029.
