Salt Rock Township conditions oil and gas well activity within its boundaries on a surety bond. The bond is a guarantee to the township: that wells are drilled and operated responsibly, and that when production ends the well is properly plugged and the surface restored.
If an operator abandons a well, fails to plug it, or leaves the site unrestored, the township can recover against the bond to fund the work. The amount is set by the township for the well or wells the bond covers.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Operators who plug and restore on schedule treat the bond as a routine condition of operating in the township. We issue the amount the township set, at a flat 3%.
Submit the application with the bond amount the township set, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull — typically issued within 1–2 business days.
