What it is and who needs it.
What the erosion control bond covers
When you disturb land for development in Shelton — grading, clearing, or building — the City of Shelton requires erosion and sediment controls under its land use regulations and Connecticut’s soil erosion and sediment control law, and conditions the approval on a surety bond.
The bond runs to the City of Shelton as obligee. It guarantees that your silt fence, sediment basins, and stabilization measures stay in place and functioning until the site is permanently stabilized. If controls fail and the city has to install or repair them, it can recover its cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Developers who maintain their controls through final stabilization treat the bond as a permit formality. Premiums start from $100; the application collects no credit information.
