Ohio Environmental Protection Agency CDD Performance Bond
Overview
Ohio's Environmental Protection Agency requires a CDD Performance Bond to protect the state and the public when construction and demolition debris facilities fail to complete required site work, closures, or corrective actions. This bond holds the facility operator financially accountable to the Ohio EPA for the full and proper performance of obligations tied to their CDD permit. If performance falls short, the bond provides a financial backstop so cleanup and compliance costs don't fall on Ohio taxpayers. Bond Titan makes it fast and straightforward to get this bond in place so your Ohio EPA permitting process can move forward.
Who Needs This Bond?
Operators and owners of construction and demolition debris facilities in Ohio are the applicants for this bond. If you run a CDD facility — whether a landfill, transfer station, or processing site — and the Ohio EPA has told you a performance bond is required as part of your permit or compliance obligations, this is your bond. It is a regulatory requirement imposed on the facility operator, not a voluntary protection. You cannot complete or maintain your Ohio EPA CDD permit without it.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that a CDD facility operator will fulfill all performance obligations set by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, including proper closure, post-closure care, and any corrective action required at the facility site. It is not insurance for the operator — it is a financial assurance mechanism that protects the state if the operator walks away, becomes insolvent, or fails to complete mandated environmental work. The Ohio EPA is the obligee and holds the right to make a claim against the bond. The bond amount is tied to the estimated cost of the obligations it secures.
When is it Required?
Submission of a financial assurance instrument to the Ohio EPA is what triggers the need for this bond — typically during the permitting process for a CDD facility or when an existing permit renewal or modification requires updated financial assurance documentation. You may also be required to obtain or replace this bond if your facility's operational status changes or if the Ohio EPA determines that prior financial assurance no longer meets current requirements. Do not wait until your permit deadline is near — the bond must be executed and submitted to the agency before your compliance deadline passes.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide across Ohio and is administered by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. It is a state-level regulatory requirement, not a local city or county permit condition. Any CDD facility operating under Ohio EPA jurisdiction anywhere in the state that is required to demonstrate financial assurance for performance obligations must carry this bond.
