What it is and who needs it.
What the conformance bond actually guarantees
Michigan regulates mineral wells — brine production, underground storage, and waste-disposal wells — under Part 625 of NREPA (MCL 324.62509), administered by the supervisor of mineral wells at EGLE. Before a permit issues to drill, deepen, convert, or operate one of these wells, the operator files a conformance bond with the supervisor.
The bond guarantees the operator will comply with Part 625, the rules, the permit conditions, and the supervisor's orders through the full life of the well — locating, drilling, operating, plugging, and proper site restoration. The surety's liability is co-extensive with the operator's, and the state has the same remedies against the surety as against the operator.
Amounts are set by rule: a single brine, storage, or disposal well is $33,000, and a blanket conformance bond is $440,000, covering up to 50 wells of these types. Beyond 50 wells, additional single or blanket bonds apply. Whatever your situation requires, we quote the bond on review with a quick soft credit check that never affects your score — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
