A complete list of all programs within the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE)
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.
Resources and information on utilizing RRD's data exchange and the Inventory of Facilities.
An interactive map displaying contaminated sites throughout Michigan regulated under Parts 213, 201, and 211.
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.
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.

This process will be ongoing through mid-August and EGLE welcomes written public comments throughout this period.
Please ensure your email has “SRF Overburdened Criteria Comment” in the email heading and send them to:
Public Act 132 of 2022 that revised Public Act 451 of 1994 allows for overburdened and significantly overburdened scoring criteria to be updated no more frequently than every three years. The current criteria have been in place for the FY24, FY25, and FY26 loan cycles and EGLE is reviewing and potentially updating the criteria for State Revolving Fund projects in FY27 and beyond.
Two identical presentations and listening sessions were held virtually on different days and times to allow for more participation. Recordings of each of the meetings have been made available for reference.
The following statistics were compiled from projects on the FY24 and FY25 Intended Use Plans. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list or imply if and what changes EGLE may propose for the overburdened qualification criteria for FY27, FY28, and FY29.
EGLE mapped FY24 and FY25 projects in the fundable range and compared them to the most recent version of The Council on Environmental Quality’s (CEQ) Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) which was used to determine progress towards the Environmental Justice 40 policy.
CEJST used indicators of burdens in eight categories: climate change, energy, health, housing, legacy pollution, transportation, water and wastewater, and workforce development and from that determines if a community is classified as disadvantaged, partially disadvantaged, or not disadvantaged. When comparing the methods in how CEJST and EGLE SRF classify communities, CEJST classified 60% of the projects in Michigan’s fundable range as disadvantaged. Using EGLE’s overburdened criteria, which use median household income, taxable value per capita, and cost of service per residential equivalent unit, 87% of projects in the fundable range qualified as overburdened. While EGLE uses fewer complex criteria to define an overburdened community, it resulted in more projects qualifying as overburdened.
