Intro to EGLE - How do you know who, or what, is regulated in your community
Local officials wear a lot of hats and may not be familiar with the many environmental regulations that affect businesses and residents in their community. EGLE regulates sources of air pollution, waste handling, wastewater and storm water discharges, water resources, and more. To ensure human health and the environment is protected, EGLE inspection staff regularly visit businesses to ensure they are meeting the environmental regulations that apply to their operations. In this webinar, we will provide a broad overview of what EGLE does and the resources that are available to local leaders to help them work with EGLE to protect the people and environment in their community.
