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.

The Water Resources Division (WRD) of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is asking for water monitoring recommendations for 2027 to support its Surface Water Quality Monitoring Strategy. The strategy has four primary goals:
For 2027, the WRD intends to allocate most of its monitoring resources to those watersheds highlighted in the Basin Year 4 Watersheds Map. However, recommendations for other Michigan watersheds will be considered.
If interested, please complete the Targeted Monitoring Request (TMR) Screening Form at the Monitoring Request Form webpage. The screening form will direct you to appropriate alternative resources if your request is not applicable for TMR. If targeted monitoring is determined to be the best resource to address your concern, you will be directed to the TMR Submission Form.
Submit requests by Oct. 30, 2026, to be considered for the 2027 field season. Submitting a request does not guarantee the WRD will be able to conduct the monitoring. Many factors, including budget, staff availability, and division priorities are considered in decision making.
If you have questions, please email EGLE-WRD-TMR@Michigan.gov or call Joshua Tellier, 517‑512‑3045, or Ryan Baldwin, 517‑290‑9012.
