Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN STYLE="font-size:12pt">The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's (EGLE) Environmental Remediation and Redevelopment Program manages and reduces risk at sites of environmental contamination. This is achieved through activities such as site evaluation, feasibility studies, operation and maintenance of systems, implementing land use and resource use restrictions, and monitoring. This Baseline Environmental Assessment (BEA) layer shows locations on parcels of property identified by new or prospective owners or operators as being contaminated under Part 201, Environmental Remediation, and/or Part 213, Leaking Underground Storage Tanks, of the </SPAN><SPAN>Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended (</SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-size:12pt">NREPA). EGLE does not render an opinion on the information contained in the BEA. New owners and operators are advised to use due diligence in the purchase of any property with respect to potential environmental contamination. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-size:12pt">Updates occur periodically by appending recent BEA submittal records from the Remediation and Redevelopment Division's Remediation Information Data Exchange (RIDE). The most recent update occurred on January 23, 2023 based on a November 7, 2022 data pull from RIDE. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-size:12pt">A person can buy, lease, or foreclose on contaminated property and be protected from liability for cleanup of contamination on the property (provided they did not cause the contamination) if they: 1) conduct a BEA and, 2) disclose it to the Department of Environment, Great Lake, and Energy (EGLE) and subsequent purchasers and transferees of the property, as outlined under Part 201 (Environmental Remediation) and Part 213 (Leaking Underground Storage Tanks) of the NREPA.
