What it is and who needs it.
What the erosion control bond actually covers
The City of Carmel Engineering Department reviews and permits land-disturbing construction and administers the City's stormwater program. Before it issues a permit, it requires an erosion & sediment control bond so the site's silt fencing, sediment barriers, and stabilization measures stay in place and functioning.
The bond is a performance guarantee to the City: if a developer or contractor lets erosion controls fail and sediment leaves the site, the City (the obligee) can draw on the bond to fund corrective work. It protects Carmel's storm sewers and downstream waterways during construction.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The amount is set by the City based on your disturbed area and the controls your plan requires; enter that figure and we issue at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.
