What it is and who needs it.
What the soil erosion bond actually covers
Michigan’s Part 91 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act requires a soil erosion and sedimentation control (SESC) permit for earth-change work near lakes and streams. Wayne County administers SESC permits in its jurisdiction and can condition a permit on a bond.
The bond guarantees that you install and maintain your erosion controls, stabilize the site, and restore the area so that sediment does not run off into county waters. If your earth change causes sedimentation the county must remediate, or you abandon the controls, the county can recover against the bond.
Wayne County sets the bond amount on your permit, sized to the disturbed area and erosion risk. Enter that figure and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull — and if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
