Soil Erosion Control Permit

NOTE: Part 91 of Public Act 451 (Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act) states that if you are undertaking an earth change that disturbs one acre (43560 square feet) or greater for construction, or is within 500 feet of a lake or a stream, you are required to apply for and receive a Soil Erosion Control Permit before construction begins. Failure to obtain a Part 91 SESC permit before earth disturbance activities begin will cause you to be in violation of state law and be subject to fines and/or penalties.

Please contact the Marquette County Conservation District for more information and to obtain a Soil Erosion Control Permit application.
