Michigan Other Agency Approvals are permits that are issued by state, county, and local government agencies, as well as certain state-designated entities, in order to allow an activity or project to be conducted in Michigan. Examples of activities that may require Michigan Other Agency Approvals include construction projects, land use changes, and environmental permits. These approvals may include zoning permits, building permits, wetland permits, and air quality permits. In some cases, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality may require certain projects to have additional permits and approvals, such as a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NODES) permit. Other state-designated entities may also require additional approvals for certain activities, such as sediment removal or natural resource extraction.
