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, and the Town of Wake Forest administers one. As a condition of a land-disturbing permit, the town can require a surety bond as financial assurance for the approved erosion and sediment control plan.
The bond runs to the Town of Wake Forest 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 that if you don't, the town has funds to complete the work and protect downstream waters.
It is a guarantee, not insurance for you: if the town draws on the bond because the work wasn't done, you repay the surety. Once the site is stabilized and the town signs off, the obligation is released.
