About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A soil erosion and sedimentation control bond is an environmental-compliance guarantee. The Macon Water Authority wants assurance that a permittee disturbing land will install and maintain the erosion and sediment controls on its approved plan, protecting the watershed it manages.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Macon Water Authority (the obligee). If you fail to control sediment and the authority has to remediate, it can claim against the bond up to its amount.

The bond is tied to your land-disturbance permit. We size it to whatever the authority requires for your project and get it filed before work starts.

Macon Water AuthorityThe Macon Water Authority, Georgia requires a soil erosion and sedimentation control bond as a condition of its land-disturbance approval; the bond amount and terms are set by the authority. We do not cite a code section we cannot verify — confirm the required amount with the authority for your specific plan.
