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 cost estimate for a low-hazard industrial waste disposal area.
















No broker phone tag for the standard assurance bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with EGLE. Here is the whole thing:
Your facility details, the financial-assurance amount EGLE approved, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check on the standard bond. Larger assurance amounts may get a quick underwriter review, often within 48 hours.
Submit the executed surety bond as your Part 115 financial assurance for the low-hazard industrial waste disposal area. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the EGLE-approved figure and the premium updates.
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. This page is for a disposal area accepting low-hazard industrial waste — material EGLE treats as having a low potential for groundwater contamination when managed in compliance with Part 115. 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.
Submit the application with the financial-assurance amount EGLE approved — the executed bond is generated ready to file as your Part 115 assurance.
