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 the City of Petersburg administers its own. Before the City 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 the City of Petersburg (the obligee). If you leave a site without functioning controls — silt fence down, no stabilization, sediment leaving the property — the City can draw on the bond to complete or correct the work.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow their approved plan and stabilize the site treat the bond as a permit formality. Enter the amount the City set — pricing is 2% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, $125 minimum, with one soft credit check that never affects your score.
