What it is and who needs it.
What the stream control bond actually covers
Rockland County regulates work in and around streams under its Stream Control Act, administered by the county's Drainage Agency, and can condition a permit — like one for an arch stream crossing — on a surety bond. The bond is a completion and restoration guarantee for the stream and drainage work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Rockland County (the obligee). If the crossing or stream work is left unfinished, fails to meet the approved plans, or the channel is not restored, the county can recover its costs against the bond.
We issue the amount the agency set, at a flat 3%, with one soft credit pull that never affects your score. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
