About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the oilfield waste bond actually covers

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.

225 ILCS 725 (Illinois Oil and Gas Act)Under the Illinois Oil and Gas Act (225 ILCS 725), a person must obtain a permit from the Department of Natural Resources before removing liquid oilfield waste from the on-site collection point. The application is accompanied by a permit fee and a $10,000 surety bond, written by a surety registered in Illinois, to indemnify the Department for the abatement of water pollution resulting from improper disposal. The surety may cancel on 30 days written notice. Confirm the amount on your DNR permit.
