Mahwah, NJ — Soil Movement Permit Bond
Mahwah's soil-movement packet distinguishes an overall development guarantee from separate performance and revegetation guarantees. Find out which security the township requires for your project before selecting a form; the application category alone does not make every soil activity a bond purchase.

What this bond does
The Township of Mahwah packet connects soil movement, approved site information and post-approval security verification. Its pre-issuance checklist asks whether an overall performance guarantee will be posted with a developer's agreement and, if not, whether separate performance and revegetation guarantees have been provided.
- Who needs it
- The property owner or permittee identified in the township application and required as principal in its accepted security instructions. The packet separately identifies the people directing soil operations and transportation; those contacts do not automatically replace the owner or developer.
- Who it protects
- The requested guarantee supports the particular performance or revegetation duties assigned to the project. Professional-review escrow, liability insurance, county soil-conservation approval and tree-removal permissions are separate items, not interchangeable bond coverage.

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 review escrow serve as the performance bond?
The packet lists professional-review escrow and guarantees separately. Do not treat money for review services as accepted performance or revegetation security.
Does an overall development guarantee automatically settle this requirement?
The pre-issuance checklist asks about an overall guarantee and separate guarantees. The township must confirm which instrument and amount satisfy this project's conditions.
