What this bond does

The county's soil erosion and sedimentation control ordinance allows financial surety as a permit condition. It addresses compliance for regulated earth changes and protection of surface waters and neighboring properties. The county must find the form of surety acceptable.

Who needs it
Property owners, designated permit agents and applicants responsible for the soil and sediment control surety requested for a particular Eaton County site.
Who it protects
The bond secures the requested permit obligation; it is not a liability policy for the contractor. Confirm the precise obligee with the County Enforcing Agency, administered by the Drain Commissioner, rather than filling that field from a product title.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Plan for stabilization and the completion certificate

The ordinance defines a Certificate of Completion as the enforcing agency's signed statement that specified construction has been completed, inspected and found compliant. Section 3.5.3 links release of insurance bonds to issuance of that certificate, with a 30-day period. Do not treat the end of site work or the permit's expiry date as automatic bond release.

Permit extensions are a separate issue: the ordinance permits an extension request, with an amended site plan if required, until disturbed areas are permanently stabilized. Keep the current plan, permit status and agency instructions together. They help identify what remains to be done without assuming the bond can be cancelled at the applicant's chosen date.

Questions about this bond

When can a bond be released?

The published ordinance ties release to the Certificate of Completion and states a 30-day period following its issuance. Confirm that the county has issued the certificate for the covered work and follow the actual release instructions; do not cancel on the assumption that construction is finished.

Is this a different legal program from soil erosion and sedimentation control?

Eaton County calls its program Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control, or SESC. This page's product label alone does not establish a separate program or prove that another similarly named option is interchangeable. Match the provider option to the form requested for your site.
