About this bond

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. We issue that amount at a flat 3%, $275 minimum, with one soft credit pull that never affects your score.
