Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) will host a virtual public meeting June 29 to give community members an opportunity to learn about Wayne Disposal Inc.'s (WDI) modification request to its hazardous waste facility operating license.

It will include an EGLE presentation covering WDI's modification request, and EGLE's licensing process. A question-and-answer session with EGLE staff will follow the presentation.
