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.

On August 12, 2020, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced that the Menominee River Area of Concern was “delisted” or removed from the international list of Great Lakes AOCs following successful restoration efforts.
The Menominee River is in the western Upper Peninsula and discharges into Green Bay (Lake Michigan). The former Menominee River Area of Concern includes the lower three miles of the river, from the Upper Scott Paper Company Dam (Park Mill) to the river mouth and includes the adjacent Green Bay shoreline from Seagull Bar in Marinette, Wisconsin, to Henes Park in Menominee, Michigan, and Green Island in Green Bay.
Historic industrial activity along the river resulted in contamination of sediments with high levels of arsenic, petroleum, and polychlorinated biphenyls. The site was also impacted by paint sludge and invasive species.
