Case Could Weaken Michigan Dune Protection Law The Muskegon Chronicle reports that Dune Harbor Estates LLC (a subsidiary of Nugent Sand Co.), recently filed an appeal in Ingham County Circuit Court challenging the DEQ's refusal to issue a permit needed to build a 600-foot pipeline through a 4,000-year-old dune. The company wants to lower water levels in two man-made lakes at its Norton Shores mining site by piping up to 8 million gallons of processed wastewater daily into Lake Michigan. Opponents of the pipeline said a court victory by Dune Harbor could weaken the state's dune protection law, which limits construction in coastal dunes.
