* Address of Requested Site:  , The purpose of the FOIA is to provide the public with access to existing, nonexempt public records of public bodies. After a search, to the best of this public body’s knowledge, information, and belief, the public record(s) do not exist as described by you, or by another name or description reasonably known to the public body; therefore, your request to examine or receive a copy of the documents described above is denied. As to the denial, under Section 10 of the FOIA, MCL 15.240, EGLE is obligated to inform you that you may do the following: 1) Appeal this decision in writing to the Senior Deputy Director, EGLE, P.O. Box 30473, Lansing, Michigan 48909-7973. The writing must specifically state the word “appeal” and identify the requester’s reason or reasons for the reversal of the denial.
