What Is a Reclamation & Damage Blanket Bond?
A reclamation and damage blanket bond is a surety bond required by state or local agencies for businesses engaged in land‑disturbing activities. It guarantees that the permit holder will restore the land, repair damages, and comply with all environmental and reclamation requirements.
This bond protects the state and the public from:
Failure to reclaim disturbed land
Environmental damage
Improper grading or excavation
Abandoned sites
Violations of reclamation or mining laws
If your business performs excavation, mining, drilling, or land‑disturbing operations, you may be required to file this bond before receiving a permit.
