Illinois regulates the transport of special waste — industrial, hazardous, and certain other regulated wastes — under the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5) and the Illinois EPA's permit rules. A transporter that hauls special waste must hold a permit, and the agency can require a financial assurance backing the hauler's obligations.
This payment-guarantee bond is that assurance. It stands behind the hauler's payment obligations connected to its special-waste activity, so that disposal and related costs are not left unpaid if the hauler defaults. The bond runs in favor of the protected parties the agency names and is filed with the Illinois EPA to obtain or renew the permit.
There is no single statewide figure — the amount is set by the Illinois EPA on your permit or notice. Enter that figure and we issue at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull that informs approval, never the price.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and most bonds issue within a business day.
