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.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s (EGLE) Water Well Viewer (WWV), is an interactive mapping system that displays water wells along with other information, such as wellhead protection areas, underground storage tanks, and sites of environmental contamination. Water well locations have been identified by address matching, the use of global positioning systems (GPS), and by legal descriptions.
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.
Anyone wishing to formally serve legal documents upon the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), or its officers or employees, may do so by the following methods.

MiEJScreen is an interactive Environmental Justice screening tool that identifies a variety of stressors and demographics within communities that may impact environmental conditions or the public health of residents.
The map allows users to explore the environmental, health, and socioeconomic conditions within a specific community, region, or across the state.
These data sets can be viewed individually or combined into a final MiEJScreen score that allows users to understand how communities experience Environmental Justice impacts relative to others. These results are depicted in the form of maps so that different communities can be compared to one another. Percentile scores for MiEJScreen indicators allow for comparisons across census tracts but are not absolute values.
A census tract with a high score is one that experiences a combination of various stressors and potential increased vulnerability than census tracts with low scores. MiEJScreen ranks census tracts based on data that is available from state and federal government sources.
The 1.5 version of MiEJScreen provides greater functionality and is now more reflective of the functionality used in EGLE’s other mapping tools while maintaining the content incorporated in version 1.0 of the tool.
To help users explore the new features and capabilities, we will host a public webinar at 3 p.m. Wednesday, April 15.
The session will provide an overview of the tool, demonstrate new functionality, and offer guidance on how to use MiEJScreen to support community planning, advocacy, and a better understanding of what communities face.
Register for the April 15 webinar
The MIEJScreen overall score is made up of two sub scores (Environmental Conditions and Population Characteristics) which are further divided into four categories. Each of the categories has a set of indicators that are scored for each census tract by its raw value, then assigned percentiles based on rank-order.
Those percentile scores are averaged for each of the four categories (Exposures, Environmental Effects, Sensitive Populations, and Socioeconomic Factors). A formula is used to combine the scores for each category to calculate the overall MiEJScreen Score.
