What it is and who needs it.
What the soil erosion bond actually covers
Michigan’s Part 91 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (NREPA) requires a soil erosion and sedimentation control permit for most earth changes near water or over a certain size. Livingston County is the permitting authority, and it can require a bond guaranteeing you install and maintain the erosion controls.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Livingston County (the obligee). If sediment controls aren’t installed and maintained as the permit requires, the County can draw on the bond to put them in place and protect adjacent waters.
It is not insurance for you. If the County makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Once the site is stabilized and the permit closed out, the bond is released. Enter the amount on your permit and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
