How Does a California Mine Reclamation Bond Work? 

A mine reclamation bond creates a legal contract between these three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the mine reclamation corporation filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Department of Conservation, Office of Mine Reclamation requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975 and local county or city regulations. 

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

You must maintain an active bond policy until officially released of your obligation. We’ll contact you when the bond is up for renewal. All you need to do is make payment for another term. 

Once the county or city verifies that reclamation is complete, you can allow the bond to expire.
