Michigan's Part 323 NREPA preempts local coastal rules in designated high-risk erosion, flood-risk, and environmental areas along the Great Lakes.
MCL 324.32301 through 324.32315 authorize EGLE to designate high-risk erosion areas (HRAs), flood-risk areas, and environmental areas along the Great Lakes shoreline. Within HRAs, a state setback permit is required for any permanent structure based on the average annual recession rate. Local ordinances must conform to or be more restrictive than state setbacks; less restrictive rules are preempted.
Building without a state setback permit can result in removal orders and civil fines up to $10,000 per violation.
