What it is and who needs it.
What the E&S control bond actually covers
Virginia delegates erosion and sediment control to local programs, and Greensville County administers its own. Before the County issues a land-disturbing permit, it can require a bond guaranteeing you install, inspect, and maintain the erosion and sediment controls shown on your approved plan.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Greensville County (the obligee). If you leave a site without functioning controls — silt fence down, no stabilization, sediment leaving the property — the County can draw on the bond to complete or correct the work.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the County, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow their approved plan treat the bond as a permit formality. Enter the amount the County set — the premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, with one soft credit check that never affects your score.

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.
