Commercial property environmental check
Check the ground before you commit.
Tell us what you know about the deal, the property, the old uses, the records, and the work. We’ll show you what to ask before you sign, close, move in, renovate, or dig.

Built from current official Michigan starting points
This is a starting map. The agency or local office makes the final call.
Immediate danger, fire, explosion, or people affected? Call 911 or the local fire department first. Need to report an environmental emergency too? Use Michigan’s EGLE emergency route.
This route is for a Michigan commercial or light-industrial property before a purchase, lease, occupancy, renovation, demolition, excavation, or reuse.
It cannot tell whether a property is clean. It does not replace a Phase I, sampling, a Michigan BEA, a due-care plan, or legal advice.
A short call sheet, in the right order.
Why it showed up
Every task points back to something you told us.
What to ask
Use the question on the phone or in an email.
What remains unknown
The call sheet names what the agency or local office still needs to decide.
Made for the point before commitment or site work
Useful before an offer, lease, closing, occupancy, renovation, demolition, excavation, or reuse.
This route keeps the buyer’s federal property check, Michigan contamination rules, and building or land work in separate lanes. It gathers records and warning signs without turning them into a score or a clean-property claim.
