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 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Marine Debris Program, removal of marine debris from shipwreck sites in the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and State Bottomland Preserve in northern Lake Huron.
NOAA will provide funding to the National Marine Sanctuaries Foundation to remove derelict fishing gear and unpermitted anchoring and mooring systems from approximately 10 historic shipwrecks. Depending on the depth of the shipwreck, technical divers or remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) will use cutting implements and grabber tools to remove accumulated debris from the wreck for disposal. The funding will also be used to install permanent mooring systems at up to four selected shipwrecks to provide access, increase diver safety, and reduce the likelihood of anchor damage.
All applicable federal, state, and local permits will be obtained prior to initiating the project.
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:
All comments will be provided to the USACE.
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.
