SUMMARY
This law (MCL 324.30101-30113) is intended to protect the integrity of the land-water interface, riparian rights, and the public trust in the inland waters of the state. DEQ’s Inland Lakes and Streams Protection Program includes a permitting process which regulates dredging or filling below the ordinary high water mark; construction or enlarging, extending, removing or placing any structure on a bottomland; marina construction or operation; anything structurally interfering with the flow of an inland lake or stream; or connection of any waterway, canal etc, with an existing inland lake or stream for navigation or any purpose. Various activities which do not require a permit are also listed in the statute.
