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.
Reclamation Bond Amount & Cost
Bond amounts vary widely depending on:
- Project size
- Acreage disturbed
- Type of operation
- State or county requirements
Your cost depends on:

Most applicants qualify with competitive rates, even for high‑value bonds.
