Requesting a Certifier Role

Requesting a Certifier Role

Do I need a certifier role?

If you will be certifying activities on behalf of the water supply(ies) you oversee, then yes - you must request a Certifier role for each supply.

You do not need a Certifier role to create activities or upload documents. However, each supply must have at least one Certifier in place to certify (“approve”) activities and submit them to EGLE for review.

Activities and their associated files are not considered submitted to EGLE until they are certified and submitted by a designated Certifier.

You may request a Certifier role yourself or designate another staff member or consultant to fill that role. Follow the steps to become a Certifier.

Before requesting a Certifier agreement, you must have already requested access to MiEHDWIS through MiLogin for Business and have been approved by a MiEHDWIS System Administrator.

  1. Create a new activity from one of the following options:

    1. Option 1: Select Create Activity on the left main navigation menu.

  5. Choose the Entity (water supply) for which you are requesting to be a Certifier.

    1. Input the community water supply, either by searching for the water supply by name or by the Public Water Supply ID (PWSID, previously called WSSN, Example: 6280).

  6. Click +Create.

  7. At this time, the EGLE District Engineer will verify the Requestor’s relationship to the water supply.

  8. Once verified by the District Engineer, a Certifier Agreement Administrator will process the request and send the Certifier Agreement to the Administrative Contact for the supply and the Requestor.

  9. The Administrative Contact for the supply will receive an email notification from the State of Michigan asking for electronic signatures using eSignature Solutions (OneSpan).

    1. The Administrative Contact will need to click the link in the email which will take them to the SMS authentication. The Administrative Contact will need to enter the SMS code that was texted to their mobile device and then follow the prompts, which will lead them through the document signing process.

      1. If you do not receive a text message or are unable to receive text messages on your device, please contact the MiEHDWIS Help Desk for assistance.

  10. Once the Administrative Contact has completed signing, an email notification will automatically go to the Requestor who will then follow the same process to sign.

  11. Once all parties have signed, the completed Certifier Agreement will be automatically sent back to the Certifier Agreement Administrator. DO NOT print off and send a copy back to EGLE.

  12. Upon receiving the signed version back from OneSpan, the Certifier Agreement Administrator will update the Certifier Request Activity, upload the signed Certifier Agreement to the Activity, and assign the Requestor as a Certifier as on the Entity (water supply).
