Michigan land and water project check
Know who to call before the first scoop of dirt.
Tell us what you may clear, dig, fill, drain, cross, or build. We’ll turn it into a short call sheet for the local office, county drain staff, and EGLE—without calling a map or rough estimate a permit answer.

Built from current official Michigan starting points
This is a starting map. The agency or local office makes the final call.
Oil, chemicals, concrete washout, or another release threatening water now? Use Michigan EGLE’s environmental emergency route.
This route is for dirt work and work near water on a Michigan commercial or light-industrial site.
It cannot measure acreage or distance, draw a wetland edge, classify a ditch, set a flood elevation, approve a discharge, interpret an exemption, or give permission to start.
A short call sheet, in the right order.
Why it showed up
Every task points back to something you told us.
What to ask
Use the question on the phone or in an email.
What remains unknown
The call sheet names what the agency or local office still needs to decide.
Made for commercial site projects
Useful before clearing, grading, filling, trenching, crossing water, or changing drainage.
This route keeps Part 91 soil erosion, construction stormwater, wetlands and water, floodplain, drains, dewatering, local approvals, and safe digging separate—then puts the calls in a useful order.
