NJ site remediation bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
When New Jersey requires a remediation funding source or financial assurance for a contaminated-site cleanup, a surety bond is one of the accepted mechanisms under N.J.A.C. 7:26C-5. The amount is your DEP-approved estimated remediation cost. Enter that figure and we issue it at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.

Reviewed & approved
An underwriter reviews the cost estimate and amount. The soft credit pull informs approval, never the price, and never affects your score. Larger sites may take a bit longer.

What it is and who needs it.
What the remediation bond actually guarantees
Anyone responsible for remediating a contaminated site in New Jersey may have to establish a remediation funding source (and, in some cases, financial assurance) so the cleanup is funded even if the responsible party can’t pay. A surety bond is one of several accepted mechanisms under N.J.A.C. 7:26C-5, alongside trust funds, letters of credit, and environmental insurance.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (the obligee). The bond stands behind the cost of completing the remediation — if you don’t finish the work, NJDEP can draw on the funding source. If the surety pays, you repay the surety.
The amount equals your DEP-approved estimated remediation cost (per N.J.A.C. 7:26C-5.3), and DEP requires its unmodifiable model bond document. The surety must be listed on U.S. Treasury Circular 570 and licensed in New Jersey — ours are. Enter your approved cost and we issue at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.
