District personnel administer the program in compliance with NREPA Part 91 and with oversight by the Michigan EGLE Water Resources Division. 

The program requires a person engaged in an earth change to plan, implement, and maintain acceptable soil erosion and sedimentation control measures in compliance with Part 91, which effectively reduce accelerated soil erosion and off-site sedimentation. 

The Conservation District reviews control plans, issues SESC permits, inspects project sites, and issues violation notices with applicable fees, as necessary.
