JULY 1, 2001

NOTICE OF JURISDICTIONAL CHANGE FOR CERTAIN WETLANDS IN ALLEGAN AND EATON COUNTIES. The U.S. Census Bureau has released the official 2000 census figures. The population for Allegan and Eaton Counties each now exceeds 100,000, which will significantly change the regulatory status of certain wetlands within these counties. Part 303, Wetlands Protection, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended, requires permits for certain activities in regulated wetlands. Specifically, a permit is required from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to dredge or remove soil or minerals from a wetland; to deposit or place fill material in a wetland; to construct, operate, or maintain a use or development in a wetland; or to drain surface water from a wetland. Section 30301 of Part 303 defines regulated wetlands as those contiguous to the Great Lakes; Lake St. Clair; or any inland lake, pond, river, or stream; and as those noncontiguous wetlands larger than five acres, in counties with a population of 100,000 or more. The term "contiguous" is defined in the administrative rules promulgated under Part 303. Allegan and Eaton Counties have not met the 100,000 population criterion in the past, and noncontiguous wetlands more than five acres in size have not been subject to Part 303 jurisdiction in these counties. Now that the 2000 census has officially established the population in these two counties at 100,000 or more, noncontiguous wetlands more than five acres in size will come under Part 303 jurisdiction. Permits will be required as of July 1, 2001, for all activities described above, in noncontiguous wetlands more than five acres in size, in Allegan and Eaton Counties, regardless of when the activity began.
