Research notes

State-administered permit overlay coordinated with Section 404 Clean Water Act (US Army Corps assumed-program — MI is one of three states with §404 assumption, administered by EGLE). Per-parcel geographic predicate keyed to EGLE-mapped inland water features. Federal conflict check enabled because Part 301 jurisdiction intersects federal CWA §404 and §10 navigable waters.
