Michigan's Part 91 of NREPA imposes uniform statewide soil erosion permits for earth changes near water or disturbing one acre or more.
Under MCL 324.9101 et seq., any earth change disturbing one or more acres or occurring within 500 feet of a lake or stream requires a soil-erosion permit issued by the local enforcing agency under state delegation. EGLE oversees county and municipal enforcement programs, sets minimum BMP standards, and can revoke local authority for non-performance. Permits must be obtained before earth-moving activity begins.
Violations are civil infractions with fines up to $2,500 per day; willful violations may be misdemeanors.
