A complete list of all programs within the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE)
Community involvement and public participation are an essential part of EGLE’s mission, vision, and values.
SARA Title III establishes requirements regarding emergency planning and "Community Right-to-Know" reporting on hazardous and toxic chemicals for federal, state, local, and tribal governments, as well as regulated facilities.
Resources and information on utilizing RRD's data exchange and the Inventory of Facilities.
An interactive map displaying contaminated sites throughout Michigan regulated under Parts 213, 201, and 211.
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.

Volume 4: Investigative approach for petroleum VIAP
Backfill material in utility corridors can be more permeable than the adjacent native soil and, when it is, it may result in a vapor source migrating preferentially along these pathways. The characterization and evaluation for the VIAP associated with a release or migration of petroleum vapor source in utility backfill material around utility corridors is limited to utilities that have all the conditions below:
If the mobile NAPL or contaminated groundwater above the appropriate unrestricted residential VIAC has entered into the more permeable utility backfill, it is more likely to migrate beyond the extent of the LIZ and may require additional characterization.
A vapor source that is in the utility backfill material and is directly beneath a structure is evaluated using the sampling methods described in C.1.0. This includes the use of subslab soil gas samples within the backfill material beneath the structure and alongside the path of the utility. The number sampling events is described in Table C-3.
A vapor source that is in the utility backfill material that is adjacent to a structure and within screening distances described in Section 4 is evaluated using either near-slab soil gas or soil gas wells similar to the approach in C.2.0. For this scenario, the near-slab soil gas or soil gas wells are placed directly in the backfill between the mobile NAPL and the structure. The structure can be evaluated using the approach described in C.1.0. The number of sampling events is described in Table C-3.
