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.
The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. 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) today announced 17 grants totaling $600,000 for projects that will support watershed organizations with conservation and educational efforts.
The Watershed Council grants are funded under Michigan's Public Act 121 of 2024. Grants are limited to $40,000 per applicant, and the projects will be completed within approximately one year of receiving the grants.
Among the activities funded are organizational and administrative support for watershed organizations, outreach and educational activities for a variety of watershed issues, design and installation of best management practices to improve water quality, purchase of needed equipment and supplies, water quality monitoring, developing watershed management plan elements and proposals for grant opportunities, and desktop and field inventories of nonpoint sources (NPS) of pollution.
Michigan-based organizations and projects selected to receive funding:
A total of 42 applications requesting about $1.5 million were received in response to the request for proposals.
The grants are issued by EGLE's NPS Program, which helps local stakeholders reduce pollution and excess runoff by supporting efforts to develop and launch watershed management plans. The NPS program typically issues three requests for proposals each year. Requests for proposals are posted on EGLE’s NPS web page.
