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.

NOTICE: EGLE has reached an Agreement on the Discrimination Complaint regarding the licensing process of US Ecology Detroit North’s 2020 license. As part of the Agreement, we will be updating the Materials Management Division’s Environmental Justice procedures, licensing procedures, and more. Find updates on this complaint, including a copy of the Agreement, are available on our Grievance Procedures page.
US Ecology operates a hazardous waste storage and treatment facility located at 6520 Georgia Street in Detroit, Michigan.
The facility was first established in 1974, before hazardous waste handling and disposal operations were regulated under state or federal law.
The facility's license specifies the hazardous waste activities that US Ecology can perform at the facility.
US Ecology Detroit North's operating license was renewed on January 29, 2020.
The federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, its rules, and the corresponding state hazardous waste regulations specify how the facility must operate to protect human health and the environment. They also identify the authorities the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), Materials Management Division, has in licensing and overseeing the facility's hazardous waste operations.
