What it is and who needs it.
What the financial-assurance bond actually covers
Michigan regulates solid waste disposal areas through EGLE under Part 115 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (Act 451 of 1994). A solid waste processing plant — a processing or transfer facility that handles waste before final disposal — falls within the Part 115 licensing framework and must demonstrate financial assurance for closure and post-closure care.
Under MCL 324.11523 and related sections, that assurance can take the form of a surety bond. The bond amount is the department-approved estimate of what it would cost to properly close the facility and care for it afterward — smaller than a landfill in most cases, because a processing plant does not hold waste in place long-term.
It is a guarantee to the department and the public that the facility is closed and cared for even if the operator can't fund it — if the surety pays, the operator repays the surety. EGLE can require an increase if costs rise. We issue the approved amount at a flat 3% with no credit check.
