Casper Erosion and Sediment Control Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors and developers disturbing land in Casper — the chapter is aimed squarely at construction activity related to building, utility and street improvements. The permittee posts the security before the permit issues, and it assures the city that you will furnish and install every erosion and sediment control improvement set out in your permit application and its exhibits. Scale matters: the ordinance sets one rate for the first tranche of disturbed area and a different, larger basis for very large sites. An inspection and review fee set by resolution is charged on every application.
Obligee: City of Casper (City Engineer; City Manager). Citation: Casper Municipal Code Ch. 12.20 (Erosion and sediment control — definitions, security and release); Ord. 32-07 § 1, 2007; Ord. No. 3-11, § 2, 2-15-2011.

Filing
Posted with the City of Casper before the erosion and sediment control permit issues. Two features of the chapter keep a figure off this page. First, it defines the word security itself to mean a bond, an irrevocable letter of credit, a cashier’s check, cash, certificates of deposit or another acceptable means the city approves — so a bond is one accepted form among several, named in the definitions rather than in the requirement. Second, the amount is a rate applied to your disturbed area rather than a sum, with a different basis above a very large threshold. Release comes at least a year after final completion, and the city manager may reduce the amount proportionately as parts of the plan are finished. Authority: Casper Municipal Code Ch. 12.20.
