Kennesaw, GA — Erosion And Sediment Control Bond

Kennesaw's published erosion-control ordinance connects security to keeping a land-disturbance site in compliance with its approved plan. It describes funds the city can use to stabilize a noncompliant site—not a general license to perform construction.

What this bond does

When the city requires security for a land-disturbance permit, the undertaking supports compliance with the erosion, sedimentation and pollution-control plan and permit conditions. The published ordinance allows the city to use forfeited security to hire a contractor to stabilize the site and bring it into compliance.

Who needs it
The owner or operator obtaining the city's land-disturbance permit and furnishing the requested security. The published application provisions distinguish that permittee from the planners and engineers who prepare the plans.
Who it protects
This is site-control security for the city's requested undertaking. It is not liability insurance for the applicant, a statewide contractor license or a promise that every excavation, street repair or stormwater-facility maintenance obligation is covered.

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.

Match the security to the permitted site and phase

The published 2011 ordinance describes separate permits for development phases. Its security provision uses disturbed acreage or a fraction of an acre and distinguishes smaller sites with and without state-water impacts from sites over two acres. Use the city's current determination for your permitted phase rather than choosing a sum from total property acreage alone.

The ordinance's enforcement provisions describe inspection, a written notice identifying required corrections and a period for compliance before forfeiture of required security for that violation. Those are site-enforcement steps, not a bond issuance timetable or a printed release date. The reviewed provisions do not establish when an issued surety can be canceled or discharged.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Have the owner/operator's exact legal name and the city request identifying who must sign as principal.
  2. Gather the site address, permitted phase, disturbed acreage and approved erosion, sedimentation and pollution-control plan.
  3. Use the city's current security determination, accepted form, recipient wording and required dates; do not assume the older ordinance's table settles today's application.
  4. Keep city permit approval, any applicable state notice and bond execution/filing instructions separate from the provider application.

Questions about this bond

Does every Kennesaw land-disturbance permit require this bond?

The reviewed ordinance says the city may require security and lists alternative instruments. It does not prove that every site must purchase a surety bond or that every provider form will be accepted. Match the city's actual request.

Can the plan designer apply as the permittee?

The published application section says only the owner and/or operator may obtain the permit, while planners and engineers participate in plan preparation and review. Confirm the legal principal required on the bond instead of using the designer's name by default.

How do I start the application?

Purchase Now opens the existing Propeller application in a new tab. Select the Kennesaw erosion and sediment-control request and match the principal, recipient, accepted form, required sum and dates. Application review and issuance come before any required signatures and city filing; starting or paying for an application does not approve the land-disturbance permit.
