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.

Join us in exploring how renewable energy, energy efficiency, home repair, distributed energy resources, and energy assistance work together to lower costs, showing that a cleaner energy system and a more affordable one go hand in hand. Learn what drives energy costs and how state action can reduce energy burden in communities across Michigan.
This first session in the mini-series presents the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) and focuses on the Commission's June 2026 order establishing a goal to reduce the energy burden of income-constrained residential customers to not more than 6% of household income (Case No. U-20757). The goal maps to 4% of household income for electricity and 2% for natural gas.
Anne Armstrong, Director of the MPSC's Customer Assistance Division will discuss how the order realigns energy assistance programs around the 6% goal. We will cover what utility pilot programs showed about affordable payment plans, and the next steps toward an implementation plan due January 31, 2027.
Attendees will also get an overview of Michigan’s Energy assistance programs and hear how expanded eligibility and funding for assistance enacted in 2024 could help as many as 150,000 Michigan households when fully implemented.
After registering, you will receive an email from "EGLE Outreach" with a link for you to use to join the webinar.
