What it is and who needs it.
What the CDD performance bond actually covers
Ohio regulates construction & demolition debris (C&DD) facilities under ORC Chapter 3714, with the financial assurance rules in Ohio Administrative Code Chapter 3745-400. A facility owner or operator must demonstrate the money will be there to close the facility and care for it after closure — a surety performance bond is one of the accepted mechanisms.
The bond amount equals the Ohio EPA-approved cost estimate for final closure and post-closure care. That estimate is reviewed annually and revised when costs change, so the bond amount can move over the life of the facility — your application captures the closure and post-closure figures separately.
If the owner fails to close or maintain the site, the EPA can call on the bond, and the surety pays into a standby trust to fund the work. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the EPA approved; the premium is 5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum, and a soft credit pull only.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
