Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Administration

The Charter Township of Garfield is now issuing Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control permits in accordance with Ordinance 78 approved by the Township Board on January 14, 2025. This ordinance allows Garfield Township to administer its own Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control program by requiring proper provisions for water disposal and the protection of soil services during and after earth change activities. All soil and erosion permits that were previously issued by Grand Traverse County will be transferred to and managed by Garfield Township.

All new Garfield Township related Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Applications may be completed at the Garfield Township Zoning Office located at 3848 Veterans Drive, Traverse City, Michigan between the hours of 7:30 am and 6:00 pm Monday through Thursday. Soil and erosion related forms and Ordinance 78 are available on the Township’s website. Please contact our Zoning Department if you have any questions (231) 941-1620.
