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 Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's (EGLE) Air Quality Division (AQD) works year-round to protect Michigan's air through permitting, inspections, testing, modeling, and monitoring. The AQD staff evaluates toxic air contaminants, collects emission information, and writes rules, and this year, they launched MiEnviro Portal (MiEnviro) for permitting and compliance reporting.
"Our core responsibilities remained steady in 2024,” said Annette Switzer, Air Quality Division director. “We tackled complex enforcement cases, carried out essential inspections, responded to community concerns, monitored outdoor air quality, and carefully reviewed air permit applications -- all to safeguard Michigan's air for future generations."

The numbers speak volumes, but it is the staff’s dedication to upholding EGLE's mission to protect public health and the environment through air regulations that makes the most significant impact. Over 200 air quality staff members contributed to the metrics. A high-level look is presented in the 2024 infographic. Take a deeper look at what these metrics mean and the work the AQD staff does to meet their mission in the 2024 story map.
