Soil Erosion Permit and Application Information

Any earth change/disturbance over one (1) acre in size and/or within 500 feet of a water of the state, (lake, stream, wetland, drain) within Wayne County needs a Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control (S.E.S.C.) Permit. If the earth change/disturbance is in one of the communities Wayne County regulates (see table) then you MUST apply and have a Wayne County SESC permit issued before ANY earthwork can begin.
