Environmental Assistance Center

Looking for help on an environmental issue? Having difficulty finding the right program contact?

The Environmental Assistance Center (EAC) serves as a single point of entry into all EGLE environmental programs. Businesses, local units of government, and the general public have access to direct one-on-one assistance or referral to EGLE's network of technical staff. 

We can help with topics related to air, land, waste, and water.
