Michigan regulates solid waste disposal areas through EGLE under Part 115 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (Act 451 of 1994). A landfill that receives municipal solid waste incinerator ash must demonstrate financial assurance for closure, post-closure monitoring, and long-term (perpetual) care.
Under MCL 324.11523 and the related sections, that assurance can take the form of a surety bond — including a perpetual care fund bond. The bond amount is the department-approved estimate of what it would cost to properly close the ash landfill and care for it afterward. EGLE can require an increase if costs rise or perpetual-care funds are disbursed.
It is a guarantee to the department and the public that the site is closed and cared for even if the operator can't fund it — if the surety pays, the operator repays the surety. We issue the amount EGLE approved, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
