Alabama regulates scrap tire processing under the Scrap Tire Environmental Quality Act (Code of Ala. § 22-40A) and ADEM Administrative Code Division 335-4. A permitted processor must provide financial assurance so the state is not left paying to clean up an abandoned or damaged facility.
The required amount is the sum of closure (safely shutting the facility down) and remediation (cleaning up after an incident such as a fire). ADEM sets minimums — generally $20,000 for closure and $20,000 for remediation — and the figure scales with the volume of tire material stored and processed, so a larger operation carries a larger bond.
A surety bond, with the processor as principal and ADEM as the obligee, is one of the accepted forms of financial assurance and must stay in effect for the life of the permit. If ADEM draws on the bond to fund closure or remediation, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you. Enter the amount on your permit and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
Submit the application with the financial-assurance amount ADEM set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
