What it is and who needs it.
What the disposal bond actually covers
Wisconsin regulates the hauling and disposal of septage and high-strength waste through the Department of Natural Resources (NR 113 for septage businesses) and the wastewater discharge program under Wis. Stat. chs. 281 and 283. Septage is often disposed of at a municipal wastewater treatment plant — but plants can be overloaded, so a plant accepting hauled waste sets its own conditions.
This bond is generally not a statewide license mandate. It is usually a requirement of the receiving treatment plant or another obligee — a guarantee that you will pay your disposal charges and follow the plant’s discharge limits and disposal terms. Whoever requires the bond sets the amount.
The bond protects the obligee, not you — if you fail to pay charges or breach the disposal terms and the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because there is no statutory figure, enter the amount you were asked for; pricing is variable from $100, and no credit check up to $100,000.

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.
How to file it
Deliver to the treatment plant. Submit the executed bond to the wastewater treatment plant or obligee that required it. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
