The financial-assurance bond a Michigan municipal solid waste landfill posts under EGLE Part 115 to guarantee closure, post-closure monitoring, and 30-year perpetual care. The department sets the amount from your approved cost estimate; pricing starts from $100, and the application collects no credit information.
















Enter the amount on your EGLE cost estimate, pay, and file the executed bond. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount EGLE required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit section and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay for most applicants. Larger amounts may get a quick review, which can include a soft credit pull that never affects your score.
Submit the executed bond as the financial-assurance instrument with your Part 115 disposal-area operating license. Wet-ink originals mailed when the office insists.
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.
Submit the application with the bond amount on your EGLE-approved cost estimate — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
