What this bond does
Section XII of the published May 2005 regulations calls for security sufficient for reclamation, permit compliance and inspections, determined by the Planning Board and submitted to the Selectmen before permit grant or opening a new overburden area. The current project request must establish the accepted instrument and legal recipient.
- Who needs it
- The property owner or agent designated in writing in the excavation application, as defined in the published regulations. The Board determines applicability/exceptions; ordinary construction-related digging is not automatically the commercial operation described by this program.
- Who it protects
- Reclamation includes site-specific soil/vegetation, slope and drainage work. Section XII permits approved security forms and phasing; transport-related damage to town roads/facilities is to be discussed at that stage, not assumed to be an unlimited road-damage promise in every bond.

Questions about this bond
Is every building-site excavation covered by this program?
The published regulations define commercial earth excavation and include exceptions for specified incidental construction and other activities. Use the Board's project determination, not the bond title alone.
Can a phased bond be released just because digging stops?
The published phasing provisions still require Board satisfaction with reclamation conditions and new security before the next section opens. Stopping excavation is not automatic release.
