What it is and who needs it.
What the Bloomington erosion control bond covers
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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
