has applied to this office for a permit under authority of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams and
Part 303, Wetlands Protection, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act,
1994 PA 451, as amended. The applicant proposes to place a total of 637 cubic yards of

THIS NOTICE IS NOT A PERMIT
The proposed project may also be regulated by one or more additional parts of the Natural Resources and
Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended (NREPA) that are administered by the Water Resources
Division (WRD). The requirements of all applicable parts are considered in determining if it is in the public interest to
issue a permit.
When a permit application is received requesting authorization to work in wetlands of the State of Michigan, pursuant
to Part 303, Wetlands Protection, of the NREPA, the NREPA provides that the department submit copies for review to
the department of public health, the city, village or township, and the county where the project is to be located, the
local soil conservation district, any local watershed council organized under Part 311, Local River Management, of
the NREPA and the local port commission. Additional notification is provided to certain persons as required by
statute or determined by the department.
A city, village, township, or county wanting to make comments on the proposed project shall furnish this office with its
written comments no later than 45 days from the date of this notice. All other persons wishing to make comments
shall furnish their written comments to this office within 20 days after the date of this notice. Written comments will be
made part of the record and should reference the above file number. Objections must be factual, specific, and fully
describe the reasons upon which any objection is founded. Unless a written request for a public hearing on this
proposed project is filed with the department within the 20-day public comment period, the department may make a
decision on the application without a public hearing. The determination as to whether a permit will be issued or a
public hearing held will be based on evaluation of all relevant factors defined in Sections 30106 and 30311, or permit
criteria defined by other appropriate parts of the NREPA. These Sections address the effect of the proposed work on
the public trust or interest including navigation, fish, wildlife, and water quality among other criteria. Public comments
received will also be considered.
