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.

Lead and Copper - Water Quality Parameters Monitoring and Management (Recorded 3/5/25, 1 hr. 00 min.)
Since 2019, small and medium size systems with corrosion control have been required to sample for a suite of Water Quality Parameters (WQP) at their entry-points-to-the-distribution-system (EPTDS) and in the distribution system. Much has been learned in that time on how to efficiently monitor and manage WQPs and the associated data they generate. This updated webinar will discuss WQPs and their purpose; distinguish between WQPs and optimal WQP (OWQP); when and where to monitor; reporting requirements; WQP ranges and excursions; and how compliance is determined. Examples, drawn from experience, will be used to illustrate key points throughout the presentation.
