Environmental protection: water pollution; application requirements for new or increased discharge permit under NREPA; modify. Amends sec. 3112 of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.3112).

House Bill 4364 modifies the requirements for obtaining permits to discharge waste into Michigan's waters. Beginning January 1, 2026, any person applying for a new or increased discharge permit must provide documentation of permission from any contiguous county that would be impacted by the discharge. This permission must be in the form of a resolution adopted by the contiguous county's board of commissioners. If an applicant fails to secure this permission, the state department will deny the permit application.
