What this bond does
Eaton County's ordinance provides for financial surety acceptable to the County Enforcing Agency as a condition of a soil erosion and sedimentation control permit. The program regulates earth changes to protect surface waters and adjacent properties, rather than licensing every type of excavation contractor.
- Who needs it
- Landowners or designated agents arranging a county SESC permit and the applicant named in the agency's surety request.
- Who it protects
- The security supports the identified erosion and sedimentation control obligation. The Eaton County Drain Commissioner administers the county program; use the exact obligee wording supplied for your bond. This is not pollution liability insurance.

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.

Questions about this bond
Does needing a SESC permit automatically tell me the bond amount?
No. The ordinance treats permit applicability and financial surety separately and allows the required amount to be adjusted. Use the enforcing agency's current project request instead of calculating a sum from this page.
Does Eaton County handle every site within the county?
The ordinance excludes areas with a Part 91 Municipal Enforcement Agency or Authorized Public Agency program. Establish the responsible agency before assuming a county form applies to the site.
Where do I start the bond application?
