About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A septage pumper & transporter bond is a payment-and-performance guarantee. Oklahoma DEQ wants a financial backstop that you will pump, haul, and dispose of domestic wastewater (septage) in compliance with state rules and proper disposal-site requirements.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (the obligee). If a licensed pumper violates the septage rules in a way that causes a loss, the bond stands behind the obligation, and DEQ can recover against it.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the bond and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration, keeping your $25,000 filing continuous so your license never lapses over a missed email.

OAC 252:645 (DEQ septage pumpers & transporters)Oklahoma law requires a DEQ license for anyone in the business of pumping, hauling, or disposing of domestic wastewater (septage). The DEQ rules at Oklahoma Administrative Code Title 252, Chapter 645 require the licensee to file a $25,000 surety bond guaranteeing payment or performance, with the license holder as principal and DEQ as obligee. Confirm your exact filing on your DEQ license packet.
