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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it

What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
