MI landfill assurance bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
Michigan requires owners and operators of solid waste disposal areas to post financial assurance for closure, post-closure care, and corrective action under Part 115 of NREPA. A surety bond is one of the accepted forms — we write it at a flat 3% with no credit check, in the amount EGLE set on your approved cost estimate for the industrial waste disposal area.

What it is and who needs it.
What the landfill bond actually covers
Michigan regulates solid waste disposal areas under Part 115 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (Act 451 of 1994), administered by EGLE. An owner or operator must demonstrate financial assurance for the cost of properly closing the site, caring for it after closure, and any corrective action.
A surety bond is one of the accepted forms of that assurance under §324.11523 — alongside a trust fund, an irrevocable letter of credit, cash, insurance, and a financial test for owners who qualify. This page is for a disposal area accepting industrial waste; the bond stands behind your closure and post-closure obligations for that site.
The required amount equals your EGLE-approved closure and post-closure cost estimate, updated annually for inflation, so the bond amount can change year to year. If the surety ever has to pay, you repay the surety — it is a guarantee to the state and the public, not insurance for you. We issue whatever amount EGLE set at a flat 3% with no credit check.
