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 landfill that receives municipal solid waste incinerator ash must demonstrate financial assurance for closure, post-closure monitoring, and long-term (perpetual) care.

Under MCL 324.11523 and the related sections, that assurance can take the form of a surety bond — including a perpetual care fund bond. The bond amount is the department-approved estimate of what it would cost to properly close the ash landfill and care for it afterward. EGLE can require an increase if costs rise or perpetual-care funds are disbursed.

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

NREPA Part 115 — MCL 324.11523 et seq. (EGLE)Under Part 115 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (Act 451 of 1994), a solid waste disposal area — including an incinerator ash landfill — must demonstrate financial assurance for closure, post-closure, and perpetual care (MCL 324.11523, 324.11523a, 324.11525). A surety bond, including a perpetual care fund bond, is an accepted instrument. The amount equals the EGLE-approved cost estimate; confirm it on your operating license documents.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Michigan incinerator ash 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 site. Enter that figure and your exact price appears at the application.

What is this bond for?It is Part 115 financial assurance — a guarantee to EGLE and the public that the ash landfill will be properly closed and cared for long-term even if the operator cannot fund it. A surety bond, including a perpetual care fund bond, is an accepted form of that assurance.

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.

How does this differ from the regular landfill bond?It is the same Part 115 financial-assurance framework, applied specifically to a landfill that receives municipal solid waste incinerator ash. A general municipal solid waste landfill posts the same kind of bond sized to its own cost estimate.

Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
