About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

When a project in the City of Wheat Ridge disturbs land, the City requires erosion and sediment control measures — silt fence, inlet protection, stabilized entrances, and the like — and can require a bond to guarantee them. The bond is a performance guarantee that the controls are installed, maintained through construction, and the site is stabilized.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Wheat Ridge (the obligee). If controls fail and sediment leaves the site, or the City has to install or repair measures itself, the City can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the City set, pricing from $100 with a soft credit pull that never affects your score, on the form the City names.

City of Wheat Ridge — Grading / erosion & sediment control permitThe City of Wheat Ridge requires this bond as a condition of its grading / land-disturbance permit, to guarantee erosion and sediment control; the bond amount and terms are set by the City department that administers grading and stormwater permits. We have not asserted a specific municipal code section — confirm the amount and form on your City of Wheat Ridge permit, and we will issue to match.
