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 Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is awarding a $1 million grant to a project that’s expected to bring 104 new housing units and 25 new jobs to southwest Detroit. That includes 68 affordable housing units priced for tenants making 60%-80% of the Area Median Income. The mixed-use development is part of the $190 million Detroit City Football Club (DCFC) stadium project.
The property at 2301 and 2401 20th Street was first developed as a railyard in the 1880s. Other businesses located there from 1884-1966 included auto repair, blacksmith, fuel storage, and boiler works. Southwest Detroit Hospital operated at the site from 1974 until it closed in 1991. It reopened as United Community Hospital and was open from 1997-2006. The building was then vacant until it was demolished in 2026.
Environmental Site Assessments done in 1996, 2003, and 2024 found petroleum, chlorinated solvents, and metals in soil on the property. The EGLE Brownfield Redevelopment Grant will pay for additional assessments, removal of contaminated soil, barriers to prevent contact with any remaining contamination, and the installation of a vapor venting system. EGLE funding will not be used for activities directly related to the use of the stadium, including specific utilities and dedicated infrastructure. EGLE funding may be used proportionally for shared infrastructure like water and sewer extensions or stormwater management.
The mixed-use portion of the project is a $48.7 million redevelopment. It includes a five-story building with 104 rental units and 11,682 square feet of commercial space along with a 423-space parking deck. 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 of Detroit and DCFC agreed to a $2 million community benefits package that includes investment in non-profit organizations and free tickets for community groups. Wayne County Executive Warren C. Evans says this project represents a significant investment in the county.
“Anyone who followed the FIFA World Cup that was co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico this year knows the sport referred to by most Americans as ‘soccer’ is the most popular sport throughout the world,” Evans said. “As Michigan’s most diverse county, we are proud to support a project that reflects our commitment to inclusive growth, neighborhood revitalization, and long-term economic prosperity.”
A state property tax abatement under Public Act 210 will reduce the project’s tax burden by $1.8 million. The city anticipates stadium events will draw $5.5 million a year in tourism and visitor spending, on top of $1.3 million a year in hotel rooms rented. The mixed-use building is scheduled to be ready for occupancy by March 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.
