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 Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has received 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 maintenance dredging of the federal navigation channel at Cedar River Harbor in Cedarville Township, Menominee County, and in-water placement of the dredged material.
Approximately 40,000 cubic yards of sediment will be dredged from the channel. An estimated 10,000 cubic yards of this material is not suitable for use in beach nourishment and will be placed in two 160-acre open water placement sites between Ingallston, Michigan, and Chambers Island, Wisconsin, at a depth of more than 30 meters. The other 30,000 cubic yards of sediment is mostly sand and may be either used for beach nourishment on the Lake Michigan shoreline, beginning at the eastern breakwater of the harbor and extending up to three-quarters of a mile east, or placed in the open water placement sites.
EGLE is reviewing the proposed activity for consistency with Michigan’s Coastal Management Program pursuant to Section 307 of the CZMA.
Written comments must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. November 12, 2026, to:
