Brighton Erosion and Sediment Control Permit Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors and developers holding a Brighton erosion and sediment control permit — the permit is specific to the applicant, the location and the size of the land proposed for development, so any change of location or increase in permitted area needs a written amendment before you proceed. The security is a condition of issuance and answers for the work required to keep the site compliant with the permit, the erosion article and the City’s referenced stormwater standard.
Obligee: City of Brighton (Director of the Department). Citation: Brighton Municipal Code § 14-2-80 (Financial guarantee required); § 16-12-250 (referenced compliance standard); Ord. 1905 § 1, 2006; Ord. 2114 § 1, 2011; Ord. 2260 § 4, 2017.

Term & renewal
Term: Held until the Director determines the permittee has successfully completed all required work and met the permit’s other conditions.
Renewal: With the erosion and sediment control permit; renewals and modifications need the Director’s written pre-approval.
Filing
Provided for the benefit of the City as a condition of the permit. No figure appears here for three independent reasons. The instrument is co-equal — the ordinance accepts performance security in the form of cash, a surety bond or an irrevocable letter of credit, in those words. The amount is a formula — it is based upon the estimated cost of the work required to ensure compliance with the permit’s terms and conditions. And the requirement is waivable: the Director has authority to waive the permit fees and the financial guarantee, though the Director must provide written justification and documentation for every waiver granted. The security, less any deductions, is promptly released once the Director determines the work is complete. Authority: Brighton Municipal Code § 14-2-80.
