MI materials management facility bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
A Michigan materials management facility that is not a landfill — a processing, transfer, composting, anaerobic digester, or similar site — can satisfy its Part 115 closure financial assurance with a surety bond filed with EGLE. The penal sum equals your approved closure cost estimate. We issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

What it is and who needs it.
What the closure bond actually covers
Michigan regulates solid waste facilities under Part 115 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (NREPA), MCL 324.11523, administered by EGLE. The owner or operator of a facility must establish financial assurance for closure (and, for disposal facilities, post-closure care) so the site can be properly closed even if the operator cannot pay for it.
A surety bond is one of the accepted mechanisms under Mich. Admin. Code R 299.9705 — alongside a trust fund, letter of credit, certificate of deposit, or insurance. The bond must be executed on a form approved by the director, and the penal sum must be no less than your current closure and post-closure cost estimates. There is no single statutory dollar amount: the figure comes from your facility's approved cost estimate.
This page is for a facility that is not a landfill — a processing, transfer, composting, anaerobic digester, materials recovery, or similar materials management site. If EGLE pays to close a facility that defaults, the state can recover against the bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount your cost estimate requires at a flat 3% with no credit check.
