OH EPA CDD performance bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.

A construction & demolition debris (C&DD) facility in Ohio must give the Ohio EPA financial assurance that the site will be closed and cared for properly. A surety bond is one accepted mechanism — sized to your approved closure / post-closure cost estimate. We issue it at a flat 3% with a soft credit pull only.

About this bond

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, at a flat 3%, with a soft credit pull only.

ORC Chapter 3714 / OAC 3745-400Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3714 governs construction & demolition debris facilities, and Ohio Administrative Code Chapter 3745-400 sets the financial assurance requirements for final closure and post-closure care. A surety performance bond is one accepted mechanism; the bond amount equals the Ohio EPA-approved closure and post-closure cost estimate, which is reviewed and updated over the life of the facility. Confirm your required amount with the Ohio EPA.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Ohio EPA CDD performance bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount itself equals your Ohio EPA-approved closure and post-closure cost estimate, so it scales with the size of your facility. Enter that figure and the quote updates.
How is the bond amount determined? +
It equals the closure and post-closure cost estimate the Ohio EPA reviews and approves for your facility under OAC Chapter 3745-400. The EPA reviews the estimate annually and can require it be revised, which changes the bond amount.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. Because closure bonds can be large, underwriting looks at the application, but the rate stays a flat 3% either way.
Can I use a trust or letter of credit instead? +
The rules accept several financial assurance mechanisms, including a surety bond, a trust fund, and a letter of credit. A surety bond is often the cheapest — you pay the 3% premium rather than tying up the full estimate in cash or bank collateral. Note that a surety bond is paired with a standby trust the surety pays into if called.
Where do I file it? +
With the Ohio EPA Division of Materials and Waste Management as your facility’s financial assurance. We issue the executed performance bond ready to submit.
