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.

EGLE’s Oil, Gas, and Minerals Division (OGMD) regulates many extractive industries to assure that development is done in manner that conserves natural resources and protects public health, safety, and the environment.
The Oil, Gas, and Minerals Division (OGMD), formerly known as the Office of Geological Survey (OGS), had responsibilities including regulatory duties, geological mapping, and applied research.
In October 2011, the Legislature renamed the OGS and created the Michigan Geological Survey at Western Michigan University. The mapping and research tasks were transferred to this new entity, while the regulatory duties remain with the OGMD division within EGLE.
As part of this transition, the Michigan Geological Survey now submits an annual report to EGLE. These reports are available on their website.
