Antrim County Soil Erosion Control
Antrim Conservation District is the permitting agency for soil erosion control in Antrim County.
All counties in Michigan are legally required to maintain soil erosion programs (per Part 91 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994). The purpose of the Soil Erosion Control Program at ACD is to protect the soil and water quality of Antrim County. Throughout qualified construction projects, landowners and contractors work with a soil erosion officer to ensure that proper measures are taken to protect the soil and water.
A soil erosion permit is required when there will be earth work or grade changes within 500 feet of a waterway, or for any project larger than one acre in size (regardless of distance to water).
The proposed construction site will be inspected and plans will be reviewed before a permit is issued. During construction, the soil erosion program will monitor Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control (SESC) measures. Preventing sediment from moving off-site and preventing on-site erosion protects nearby waters and adjacent properties.
