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 Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is awarding a $350,000 Brownfield Redevelopment Grant to a project that will create a new restaurant in Huron County. The former Dunks Garage at 4496 North Washington Avenue sits at the main intersection in the village of Ubly. The 0.38-acre property has been home to a blacksmith, gas station, oil and fuel depot, and auto repair shop dating back to 1901. It has been vacant since 2023.
EGLE first got involved with the property in 1992, conducting environmental investigations that found petroleum, organic compounds, and metals in soil and groundwater. The contamination is believed to have come from an underground storage tank that ruptured while being removed in 1985. The EGLE grant will pay for:
EGLE’s Bay City District Office spent a little more than $1 million on assessments, removing liquid contamination, and operating a soil vapor extraction system at the site from 1992-2025. A coalition comprised of Huron, Sanilac, and Tuscola Economic Development Corporations expended roughly $77,000 in U.S. EPA Brownfields assessment funding for environmental investigation activities.
The owner plans to spend up to $425,000 renovating the 2,900 square-foot building into a café that will create three new full-time jobs and three new part-time jobs. The redevelopment is a priority for Ubly in large part because it will revitalize and beautify the village’s downtown. Construction is expected to be finished in the spring of 2029.
More than half of EGLE’s annual budget supports local projects, protects public health and the environment, and helps create economic growth and jobs for Michigan workers. Redevelopment increases the value of brownfield sites and other nearby properties. In 2025, the EGLE Brownfield program provided more than $23 million in brownfield incentives to 76 projects in 52 Michigan communities. These projects are projected to create more than 440 housing units, 600 jobs, and result in more than $675 million in capital investment.
