Michigan HB5103 allows temporary erosion control structures without a permit during high water levels on specific lakes.
Michigan HB5103 amends existing laws to allow the construction of temporary erosion control structures without a permit during high water levels on the shores of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake St. Clair. These structures must be made from sandbags, sand-filled geotubes, or geotextile tubes using biodegradable materials or specific synthetic textiles. The bill also requires property owners to notify local authorities before installation and mandates that these structures do not impede shoreline walkability or extend into the water.
