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.

Part 2: Hazardous Waste Management – How to prepare for an EGLE waste inspection? (recorded 11/12/20, 90 min)
This webinar will focus on how to determine what type of waste you have (hazardous waste, liquid industrial by-product, or solid waste) and how it must be managed to protect human health and our environment under Michigan’s environmental regulations. Inspection staff will share details on who they typically inspect, why they inspect, when they inspect, what they want to see, and best practices that can be implemented to ensure a favorable inspection finding. Inspection staff will share examples of both good and bad management practices and what happens when non-compliance is observed. Everyone generates waste materials, whether it’s from an office building, a commercial operation, or an industrial operation. It is important to know not only what type of waste you generate but also how much you generate to know the management standards that apply. This webinar will benefit any business, large or small, by helping them understand how their waste is classified and the management standards that must be met to prevent costly clean-ups. Tune in to ensure you are ready for a hazardous waste inspection.
Part 3: Wastewater – How is it regulated and how to prepare for an inspection? (recorded 11/19/20, 90 min)
Do you know how the water that leaves your property through storm drains, sinks, floor drains, and other points is regulated? This webinar will help you identify what type of wastewater you might generate at your business and how that wastewater is regulated. Staff from EGLE's Water Resources Division will walk you through the various types of wastewater to help you determine what types of permits or authorizations might be required and what to expect from an inspection.
