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.

Contested Case Hearing
A number of regulatory programs administered by EGLE provide the right to a contested case hearing. Those programs include, but are not limited to, air quality, surface and groundwater resources, solid waste management, inland lakes and streams, wetlands, great lakes submerged lands, shorelands, sand dunes, drinking water, sewerage treatment, oil and gas production, and underground storage tanks. Contested cases are presided over by an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) from the Michigan Office of Administrative Hearings and Rules (MOAHR). The contested case hearing process is governed by the Administrative Procedures Act (MCL 24.201 et seq.) and administrative rules (R 324.1 et seq.). The Contested Case Process Flow Chart should provide you a high level look at this process.
