Montmorency County is a County Enforcing Agency for Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control under Part 91 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended.

Do I need a permit?
A Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control permit is generally required for an earth change that disturbs one or more acres of land or is within 500 feet of a lake or stream.
Projects may include new homes, additions, accessory buildings, shoreline work, commercial development, mining operations, utilities, and other regulated earth changes.
If you are unsure whether your project requires a permit, contact the Soil Erosion Officer before beginning work.
