ANNUAL REPORTING
(By authority conferred on the department of natural resources by sections 5 and 14a of
Act No. 348 of the Public Acts of 1965, as amended, and Executive Reorganization Order
Nos. 1973-2, 1973-2a, and 1976-1, being SS336.15, 336.24a, and 299.11 of the Michigan
Compiled Laws)
R 336.201 Definitions.
Rule 1. As used in these rules:
(a) "Commercial location" means a publicly or privately owned place where persons are
engaged in the exchange or sale of goods or services. "Commercial location" also means
multiple housing units which have a single owner and which are designed for 3 or more
families. "Commercial location" does not include elementary and secondary schools and
facilities owned and operated by the state government. A separate building or group of
buildings used for the exchange or sale of goods or services which has a single owner and
manager constitutes a separate commercial location.
(b) "Department" means the department of natural resources.
(c) "Geographical site" means contiguous land ownership by 1 landowner. A public right-
of-way, such as a road, railroad, and watercourse through part of the site, is not considered
to break the continuity. If transmission and fuel delivery rights-of-way or a strip of land
that serves no other principal purpose than as a transportation or materials handling link
connects 2 or more otherwise separate geographical sites, such connected sites shall be
considered separate geographical sites.
(d) "Manufacturing location" means a place where a person is engaged in the making of
goods or wares, including the generation of electricity, in the processing of material, or
primarily in the disposing or treating of solid or liquid waste. For the purpose of assessing
a surveillance fee, manufacturing location includes all such places, whether publicly or
privately owned and contained within 1 geographical site, except for places owned and
operated by the state government. A power plant, as defined in table 42 of R 336.1401 of
the Michigan Administrative Code, constitutes a separate manufacturing location when
used to supply steam or energy to more than 1 other manufacturing or commercial location.
However, a power plant with a capacity of more than 500,000 pounds of steam per hour is
considered a separate manufacturing location. For a large industrial complex or other
unusual cases, the department may determine that the complex constitutes more than 1
manufacturing location, based on such factors as separate corporate operating division
units or sections.
