What it is and who needs it.
What the erosion control bond actually guarantees
The City of Atlanta regulates land-disturbing activity — grading, clearing, and excavation — and conditions a land-disturbance permit on proper erosion and sediment control. To protect the city's storm drains and streams, it can require a performance bond backing those control measures.
The bond runs to the City of Atlanta (the obligee) and guarantees the erosion and sediment control measures are installed, maintained, and removed to city and state (NPDES) standards. If a developer lets controls fail and sediment leaves the site, the city can call the bond to fund corrective work.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. The amount is set by the city, generally tied to the disturbed acreage or the cost of the control measures. When the site is stabilized and the permit closed, the bond is released.
