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.

Section 313, commonly referred to as the Toxic Chemical Release Inventory or TRI, requires certain facilities to complete a Form R report annually for specified chemicals. The report form must be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) by July 1, and covers releases and other waste management of toxic chemicals during the preceding calendar year. Facilities also must report information on source reduction, recycling, and treatment under the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990. One purpose of this reporting is to inform the public and communities surrounding covered facilities about toxic chemicals at individual facilities, their uses, and releases into the environment. The EPA maintains the information in a national TRI database that is available to the public.
The TRI reporting requirement applies to facilities that have 10 or more full-time employees (or the equivalent of 20,000 hours per year), that manufacture (including import), process, or otherwise use a listed toxic chemical above threshold quantities, and that are in one of the following sectors:
* Federal facilities that meet the thresholds also must report by Executive Order.
There are about 650 toxic chemicals and chemical categories covered by section 313. These chemicals are listed in 40 CFR 372.65. Special chemicals of concern that have lower thresholds are listed in 40 CFR 372.28. The Consolidated List of Lists also identifies the section 313 chemicals; this list includes chemicals that are subject to other EPCRA requirements and to the Clean Air Act, Section 112(r).
A facility must report if it manufactures (including imports) or processes 25,000 pounds or more or otherwise uses 10,000 pounds or more of a listed toxic chemical during the calendar year. Lower thresholds were established beginning in 2000 for special chemicals of concern. These chemicals are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT); the thresholds are specified in 40 CFR 372.28.
The EPA can add, remove, or modify the list of toxic chemicals that must be reported. Facilities should check each year for any changes to the section 313 chemicals and chemical categories.
