About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the soil erosion bond actually covers

Michigan requires soil erosion and sedimentation control (SESC) permits for earth-disturbing work near surface water or on slopes, and the City of St. Clair administers that program for projects inside the city. The bond is a completion-and-restoration guarantee for the erosion controls on your permit.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of St. Clair (the obligee). If you fail to install or maintain the required silt fences, basins, and stabilization, and the City has to step in, it can recover its costs against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow their approved SESC plan treat the bond as a permit formality. Enter the amount the City set, and see your exact price — 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — at the application.
