What it is and who needs it.
What the soil-movement bond actually covers
When you move soil in Bridgewater, the bare ground you leave behind can erode into streets, storm drains, and neighboring property. A revegetation and stabilization bond guarantees you put the site back together — stabilizing slopes and re-establishing vegetation so the disturbed soil stays put.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township of Bridgewater (the obligee). If you leave the soil exposed or fail to revegetate, the Township can recover against the bond to complete the stabilization work.
The Township sets the amount on your soil-movement permit, usually tied to the volume disturbed and the area to be revegetated. The premium is 2% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum, with a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.

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.
