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.

The Environmental Permit Review Commission (EPRC) was created by Public Act 268 of 2018, to advise the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s Director on disputes related to permits and permit applications. Executive Order No. 2024-05 6(a) abolished the EPRC effective September 17, 2024 and transferred the statutory authority, powers, duties, and functions to EGLE, creating the Environmental Permit Review (EPR). The EGLE’s EPR may review Petitions for Permit Application Review and Petitions for Review of a Final Decision of a Contested Case.
None scheduled at this time
If a permit applicant has a dispute with EGLE while their permit application is pending, the applicant may complete an Environmental Permit Review Petition for Permit Application Review. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, the Chief Deputy Director (or designee) will convene a Permit Application Review meeting with the applicant and the EGLE Division to hear the issues in dispute, the relevant facts, and any data, analysis, opinion, and supporting documentation. After the meeting, the Chief Deputy Director (or designee) will issue a recommendation to the Director and the applicant. The Director will then issue a written decision that either agrees or disagrees with the recommendation.
All EPR Petition requests should be submitted using the online EPR Petition Form. To file an EPR Petition for Permit Application Review:
Within 21 days after an administrative law judge (ALJ) issues a Final Decision and Order regarding a permit, any party may complete an Environmental Permit Review Petition for Review of a Final Decision of a Contested Case, to seek a review of the ALJ's Final Decision and Order by the Director of EGLE (or designee). The Director (or designee) conducts meetings with information limited to the record established by the ALJ and can adopt, remand, modify, or reverse, in whole or in part, a Final Decision and Order.
All EPR Petition requests should be submitted using the online EPR Petition Form. To file an EPR Petition of a Final Decision of a Contested Case:
