review_type | require | EGLE_Part_637_mining_permit_and_reclamation_plan | Operators of sand dune mining operations must obtain an EGLE Part 637 permit, post reclamation surety, and execute an approved reclamation plan. Local zoning that purports to ban Part 637 mining outright in mapped sand dune mining areas is preempted to the extent of conflict; siting/operational standards remain locally enforceable. |

Research notes
Conflict-preemption flavor: local zoning may regulate but not prohibit Part 637 mining where state has issued a valid permit. Affects mapped sand-mining areas in Allegan, Muskegon, Oceana, Mason counties primarily.
