About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the erosion control bond actually covers

North Carolina's Sedimentation Pollution Control Act lets local governments run their own erosion and sedimentation control programs. Haywood County administers a land-disturbing permit program and can require a surety bond as financial assurance for an approved erosion and sediment control plan.

The bond runs to Haywood County as obligee. It guarantees you will install the erosion control measures on your approved plan, maintain them through construction, and stabilize the disturbed area — so the county has funds to complete the work and protect downstream waters if you don't.

It is a guarantee, not insurance for you: if the county draws on the bond because the work wasn't done, you repay the surety. Once the site is stabilized and the county signs off, the obligation is released.
