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 solid waste processing plant — a processing or transfer facility that handles waste before final disposal — falls within the Part 115 licensing framework and must demonstrate financial assurance for closure and post-closure care.

Under MCL 324.11523 and related sections, that assurance can take the form of a surety bond. The bond amount is the department-approved estimate of what it would cost to properly close the facility and care for it afterward — smaller than a landfill in most cases, because a processing plant does not hold waste in place long-term.

It is a guarantee to the department and the public that the facility 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 et seq. (EGLE)Under Part 115 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (Act 451 of 1994), solid waste disposal areas — including processing plants and transfer facilities — are licensed by EGLE and must demonstrate financial assurance for closure and post-closure care (MCL 324.11523, 324.11523a). A surety bond is an accepted instrument; the amount equals the EGLE-approved cost estimate. Confirm the required amount and instrument on your operating license documents.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Michigan solid waste processing plant bond?Pricing is variable, starting from $100. The amount equals your EGLE-approved closure and post-closure cost estimate, so it scales with the facility. Enter that figure and your exact price appears at the application.
What counts as a processing plant?A solid waste processing plant or transfer facility handles waste — sorting, compacting, transferring — before final disposal, rather than burying it in place. It is licensed under the same Part 115 framework as landfills, with financial assurance scaled to its own (usually smaller) closure cost.
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 post-closure cost estimate rises. 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.
