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.

Waste transfer stations and processing plants serve as links between communities, materials management programs/solid waste collection programs, and final waste disposal facilities. Sizes and services offered by transfer stations and processing plants vary significantly, but they all serve the same basic purpose—consolidating waste/processing waste.
When there is a need for a new facility, there is permitting process that needs to be followed. This page is part of that process. It gives the public access to the permit applications for those sites during the public comment period part of the permitting process. Landfill permits for review by the public will also be located here for consistency with the permitting process.
