This system allows water well drilling and pump installation contractors to submit water well records.
EGLE's interactive calendar is designed to provide timely information on decisions before the Director, proposed settlements of contested cases, administrative rules promulgation, public hearings, meetings and comment deadlines, and environmental conferences, workshops and training programs.
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 Radioactive Materials Program is responsible for naturally occurring radioactive material found in the oil, gas, brine, chemical, and water treatment industries subject to state control under the authority of the Public Health Code - Part 135 of 1978 PA 368, as amended.
Michigan's Ionizing Radiation Rules contain the applicable regulatory requirements for protection of health, safety, and the environment. Unit staff also respond to incidents and emergencies involving radioactive materials and work with other state and federal agencies on the identification and remediation of contaminated sites and in the safe management of radioactive wastes.
Different types of radioactive waste and where it is disposed
Technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material (TENORM)
Shippers of scrap metal may be eligible for a special permit when radioactive material is detected in a shipment
Self-luminous exit signs are widely used in a variety of facilities across the country
Some smoke detectors use a tiny radioactive source to detect smoke.
An initiative to reduce the number of unused radioactive sealed sources stored by licensees
The Ionizing Radiation Rules of the State of Michigan govern the receipt, possession, use, and disposal of state-controlled radioactive material.
Radiation rules governing the use of x-ray equipment and other electronic devices that produce ionizing radiation, contact the Radiation Safety Section within the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (517-284-7820).
Byproduct, source, and special nuclear material are regulated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Michigan. For additional information about the licensing and registration, including reciprocity, for the use of these materials, please contact the NRC Region III office.
