About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

An erosion & sediment control bond is a performance guarantee to the County of York. When you disturb land, the County wants assurance the approved E&S measures stay in place and the site is stabilized — protecting downstream waters and neighboring property.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the County of York, Virginia (the obligee). If E&S controls fail or the site isn't stabilized, the County can recover its remediation costs against the bond.

The bond stays on file until the County releases it. We track expirations and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your standing with Environmental & Development Services never lapses mid-project.
