Michigan HB4314 allows removal of surface debris without a permit in certain areas.

Michigan HB4314 amends the Environmental Protection Act to allow removal of surface debris without a permit in areas between the ordinary high-water mark and the water's edge. This includes removing vegetation and debris by mechanical or manual means, provided it does not impact the lakebed. The bill specifies that these activities do not require a permit unless they involve dredging or impacting protected areas.
