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.

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) held a Radon Awareness and Environmental Health Fair in Linden recently to provide helpful information to area residents.
The event was organized by Pam Howd, an EGLE environmental specialist who also serves as a member of the Linden City Council. Howd has personally seen how environmental toxins such as radon can negatively affect people’s lives.
EGLE staffer Pam Howd demonstrates to Linden Department of Public Works employees how radon can migrate through the soil and groundwater to get into structures. EGLE staff at the health fair explained what radon is, the risks it poses, and common misconceptions.
One in every four Michigan homes is expected to have radon levels that exceed the recommended federal action level.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that you cannot see, smell, or taste. There are no short-term side effects that could cause alarm or warn of its presence. Long-term exposure to radon increases the risk of developing lung cancer, which accounts for more deaths in both men and women than any other form of cancer in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society.
“Close to 70 people came to the event from all over Genesee County, including a county commissioner,” said Howd. “The event was so successful that the senior center, where the event took place, is already working on an event for next year.”
EGLE’s interactive map on indoor radon results shows radon information for first time tests, without active radon mitigation systems, by ZIP code. This map is based on results from the supplier that manufactures and analyzes short-term radon test kits purchased through the EGLE radon program - this map is not intended to be used to determine if a home in an area should be tested for radon.
