What it is and who needs it.
What the reclamation bond actually covers
Utah’s Mined Land Reclamation Act (Utah Code Title 40, Chapter 8), enforced by the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining (DOGM), requires every mining operator to post a reclamation surety before disturbing any surface area. The bond guarantees that the operator will reclaim the affected land — regrading, revegetating, and restoring the site — when mining ends.
The amount is set to the estimated cost of complete reclamation of the disturbed land, as DOGM approves it in your notice of intention or permit. A 2003 amendment to the Act extended bonding to all mining operations, not just large ones, so even small operators now post a reclamation surety.
If an operator fails to reclaim, DOGM can forfeit the bond and use the proceeds only for reclaiming that land, returning any residual to the rightful claimant. The bond stays in force until the Division releases the operator from liability. Pricing starts from $100; a quick soft credit check may apply, never a hard inquiry.
