The City of Bloomington regulates land disturbance and stormwater, and conditions a grading or land-disturbance permit on an erosion-control performance bond. The bond is a performance guarantee: it stands behind your installing, maintaining, and removing erosion and sediment controls — silt fence, inlet protection, stabilization — so soil does not wash into the City’s streets and storm system.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bloomington (the obligee). If a site fails its erosion controls and the City has to step in to stabilize it or clean the storm system, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Builders who keep their best-management practices in place and stabilize the site treat the bond as a routine permit condition.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Bloomington set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit.
