About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the financial-assurance bond actually covers

Michigan regulates solid waste disposal areas through EGLE under Part 115 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (Act 451 of 1994). A municipal solid waste landfill (a Type II disposal area) must demonstrate financial assurance for closure, post-closure monitoring, and long-term care.

Under MCL 324.11523 and related sections, that assurance can be a surety bond — including a perpetual care fund bond. The operator must maintain a perpetual care fund for 30 years after final closure, and a bond is one accepted way to fund it. The bond amount is the department-approved estimate of closure and long-term care costs.

It is a guarantee to the department and the public that the landfill is closed and cared for even if the operator can't fund it — if the surety pays, the operator repays the surety. EGLE can require an increase if costs rise. We issue the approved amount with pricing from $100 and no credit section on the standard application.

NREPA Part 115 — MCL 324.11523, 324.11525 (EGLE)Under Part 115 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (Act 451 of 1994), a municipal solid waste landfill must demonstrate financial assurance for closure, post-closure, and perpetual care (MCL 324.11523, 324.11523a, 324.11525). The operator must maintain a perpetual care fund for 30 years after final closure, which may be a trust, escrow, or perpetual care fund bond. The bond amount equals the EGLE-approved cost estimate; confirm it on your operating license documents.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Michigan municipal solid waste landfill bond?Pricing is variable, starting from $100. The amount equals your EGLE-approved closure, post-closure, and perpetual-care cost estimate, so it scales with the size of the landfill. Enter that figure and your exact price appears at the application.
What is the perpetual care fund?Part 115 requires a landfill operator to maintain a perpetual care fund for 30 years after final closure to cover long-term monitoring and care. That fund can be a trust, an escrow account, or a perpetual care fund bond — the bond is the instrument we issue.
Is there a credit check?The standard application collects no credit information, and most of these bonds issue instantly. Larger bond amounts may get a quick review that includes a soft credit pull — never a hard inquiry, no impact on your score.
Can my bond amount change?Yes. EGLE can require an increase if your closure or perpetual-care cost estimate rises, or if money is disbursed from the perpetual care fund. We re-issue at the updated amount.
Where do I file it?With EGLE, as the financial-assurance instrument attached to your Part 115 solid waste disposal-area operating license. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
