Wyoming Erosion and Sediment Control Bond (General Use)
What it is & who requires it
Contractors and developers disturbing ground in a Wyoming city where an erosion and sediment control permit is required. The security assures the city that you will furnish and install every control measure your approved plan sets out, and it stays in place through a maintenance period after the work is done. Because it is sized to the area you disturb, it scales with the job rather than with your license. Note that this is a separate permit and a separate security from a street excavation or right-of-way bond in the same city — a contractor doing both carries both.
Obligee: Wyoming cities and towns (city engineers). Citation: Municipal erosion and sediment control chapters — Casper Municipal Code Ch. 12.20 (definitions, security, release); Ord. 32-07 § 1, 2007.

Term & renewal
Term: Held through construction and for a maintenance period after final completion — a year in the Wyoming ordinance read for this record.
Renewal: Posted before the erosion and sediment control permit issues, and commonly reducible in proportion as parts of the approved plan are completed.
Filing
Posted with the city before the erosion and sediment control permit issues, alongside an inspection and review fee. The amount is not a published sum: Wyoming ordinances of this kind set a rate applied to the square footage you disturb, with a different basis for very large sites, so it is calculated from your plan rather than looked up. Cities also commonly define the acceptable security broadly — a bond, a letter of credit, a cashier’s check, cash or certificates of deposit — so a bond is one accepted form among several. Ask about proportional release: several ordinances let the city reduce the amount held as portions of the approved plan are completed, rather than holding the full sum to the end.
