Before you haul liquid oilfield waste from the collection point, Illinois requires a permit and a surety bond from the Department of Natural Resources under the Oil and Gas Act (225 ILCS 725). The statute sets a $10,000 bond to indemnify the State for pollution abatement — premiums start from $100, and the application collects no credit information.
















No underwriting queue for the standard oilfield waste bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with DNR. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount your permit requires, your permitee number if you have one, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
The application collects no credit information, and there is no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick soft-pull review that never affects your credit score.
Submit the executed bond with your liquid oilfield waste transportation permit application to the Department of Natural Resources, Office of Oil and Gas. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
Hauling liquid oilfield waste — the produced water and brine that comes up with oil and gas — is permitted in Illinois under the Oil and Gas Act (225 ILCS 725). Before you remove liquid oilfield waste from the on-site collection point, you apply for a permit from the Department of Natural Resources and post a surety bond.
The bond indemnifies the Department for the abatement of water pollution that results from improper disposal of liquid oilfield waste by the permittee. The statute sets the bond at $10,000, covering the permit period and any renewal, written by a surety registered in Illinois.
If improper disposal pollutes state waters, the DNR can recover abatement costs against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. The surety can cancel on 30 days written notice to the Department and the permittee, though cancellation does not affect rights that accrued before it took effect. We issue the bond with premiums starting from $100; the application collects no credit information.
Submit the application with the bond amount your DNR permit requires — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit application.
