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.

Regina Strong, the head of the Office of the Environmental Justice Public Advocate at the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) was honored recently at the Michigan Chronicle’s 2025 “Women of Excellence” awards.
Held during Women’s History Month, the event – in its 18th year – celebrates “local African American women who inspire others through their vision and leadership, exceptional achievements, and participation in community service.”
