Michigan HB4385 allows temporary erosion control structures without a permit during high water levels.

Michigan HB4385 amends existing laws to allow property owners to install soft erosion control structures without a permit during high water levels. These structures can be made from sandbags, sand-filled geotubes, or biodegradable materials. The bill specifies that these structures must be installed on the shorelands of certain lakes and must not impede walkability or extend into the water. Owners must file a notice with the department before installation, detailing the structure's location and materials.
