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.
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.

Michigan’s two peninsulas are shaped at the surface by glaciers and within the sub surface geology there are a many unique and valuable natural resources.
EGLE’s Oil, Gas, and Minerals Division (OGMD) regulates many of these extractive industries to assure that development is done in manner that conserves natural resources and protects public health, safety, and the environment.

A listing of publications about Michigan Geology and other resources.
Like other state and federal collections, the Upper Peninsula Geological Repository is essentially a "rock library," in which samples are organized and made available upon request to researchers to conduct geologic studies.
This is a free set of tools that provides a wide array of geologic information for natural resource management, educational and general interests. Additional programs are not needed but can be added to suit individual needs. It can be accessed by anyone, at anytime, anywhere the web is available.
This is one of the largest publicly accessible record sets in Michigan. When you access the application, the next step may not be obvious. We recommend reviewing the user guide before diving in.
For information on geological mapping and applied research activities, visit the Michigan Geological Survey.
The Oil, Gas, and Minerals Division (OGMD) was previously named the Office of Geological Survey (OGS). In addition to our regulatory duties, the OGS was responsible for geological mapping and applied research. In October 2011, an act of the Legislature renamed the OGS and established a new Michigan Geological Survey as part of Western Michigan University and transferred the mapping and research responsibilities to the new organization.
As part of the transfer of geological mapping and applied research, the Michigan Geological Survey will submit an annual report to EGLE; those reports are posted on their webpage.
