What it is and who needs it.
What the East Lyme erosion-control bond covers
When the Town of East Lyme approves a land-disturbance, subdivision, or site-plan permit, it can condition the approval on an erosion and sediment control bond guaranteeing that the silt fences, basins, and other controls on your plan are installed and maintained until the site is stabilized.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of East Lyme (the obligee). If the erosion controls are not installed or maintained as approved and sediment leaves the site, the town can call on the bond to remediate.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Because the surety stands behind performance, this bond carries a soft credit pull — it informs approval, never the price, which stays a flat 3%, $275 minimum.
