EGLE Air Permit Violations 2018 - Present

A dataset of violation notices issued to Michigan sources of air pollution large enough to require a permit. Each record is one violation notice and includes a list of comments about the cited violation(s) as well as the full text. The documents were parsed using the python library pdfplumber. Data updates daily.
