Bill overview
This bill updates Michigan’s rules for obtaining permits to withdraw water from state sources. It requires permits for new or increased water withdrawals exceeding certain daily volumes, particularly for supplying common distribution systems and large quantity withdrawals from ‘zone C’ areas. The bill also establishes stricter requirements for demonstrating minimal environmental impact and compliance with water conservation measures, and outlines a process for reviewing and potentially revoking permits if adverse impacts are identified.
