What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Michigan regulates the transportation of liquid industrial by-products (formerly liquid industrial waste) through EGLE under the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (Act 451 of 1994), Part 121. Anyone hauling these by-products for transport must be licensed, and that license is conditioned on a surety bond.
Resident (Michigan-based) haulers post a $15,000 bond — half the $30,000 a nonresident hauler posts. The bond is a financial guarantee to the department standing behind your compliance, including the costs the department may incur to manage waste if your operation fails or terminates.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay on file as a condition of your transporter license, so we track it and notify you ahead of any expiration to keep your license in good standing.
