Resources and information on utilizing RRD's data exchange and the Inventory of Facilities.
An interactive map displaying contaminated sites throughout Michigan regulated under Parts 213, 201, and 211.
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.
Anyone wishing to formally serve legal documents upon the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), or its officers or employees, may do so by the following methods.

The Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has received a water quality certification request pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act and a Federal Consistency Determination under Section 307 of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Detroit District, regarding proposed reconstruction of the north revetment adjacent to the federal navigation channel at Holland Harbor in the City of Holland, Ottawa County.
The project site, including a temporary access road and materials staging areas, is located at the southern border of Holland State Park. The project involves demolition and removal of the existing steel sheet pile (SSP) bulkhead wall and the timber crib and concrete cap landward of the bulkhead wall. These structures will be replaced by 550 linear feet of new SSP bulkhead wall backfilled with approximately 7,000 cubic yards of compacted stone and sand and capped with a 10-foot-wide concrete sidewalk. Either steel piles or approximately 2,500 cubic yards of stone will be temporarily placed against the waterward side of the existing SSP bulkhead wall to prevent collapse into the channel during demolition and removal of the timber crib and installation of the new SSP bulkhead wall. The temporary bracing and existing SSP wall will be pulled after the new wall is in place. The work is scheduled to begin in spring of 2027 and will require two construction seasons to complete.
EGLE is reviewing the proposed activity for compliance with Michigan’s water quality requirements pursuant to Section 401 of the CWA and consistency with Michigan’s Coastal Management Program pursuant to Section 307 of the CZMA.

Under Section 401 of the federal Clean Water Act, EGLE reviews federal permit and license applications for projects that may result in a discharge to Michigan’s waters of the United States. The purpose of the review is to determine whether EGLE can certify that the project will comply with Michigan’s water quality requirements.
The federal agency cannot issue the permit or license unless EGLE either grants or waives water quality certification. EGLE may require special certification conditions that the federal agency must incorporate into the permit or license. The federal agency cannot issue the permit or license if EGLE denies water quality certification for the project.
Under Section 307 of the federal Coastal Zone Management Act, EGLE reviews federal agency activities within Michigan’s Coastal Zone Boundary that may impact coastal resources and uses. The purpose of the review is to determine whether the proposed activity complies with a range of Michigan’s resource protection statutes and rules.
