About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the performance guaranty covers

When you use state land in Alaska under a permit, lease, right-of-way, or material sale contract, the Department of Natural Resources can require a land use performance guaranty — a surety bond standing behind your obligation to use the land as authorized and to restore or reclaim it afterward.

It is administered by the Division of Mining, Land and Water (DMLW), on a form the division provides. The amount reflects the cost of cleanup, restoration, or reclamation if you walk away — DNR sets it for your specific authorization, so the figure on your notice is the one to enter.

If you fail to meet the conditions of your permit or lease, DNR can recover against the guaranty to put the land right — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount DNR set at a flat 3%; a soft credit pull informs approval, never the price.

Alaska DNR — Land Use Performance Guaranty (DMLW)The Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Mining, Land and Water, may require a land use performance guaranty in connection with land use permits, leases, rights-of-way, material sale contracts, and similar authorizations on state land. The corporate-surety guaranty is filed on the division's form, in an amount the division sets to cover restoration or reclamation. Confirm your required amount on your DNR authorization or notice.
