How does a New York Well Plugging and Surface Restoration Bond work?

A  New York Well Plugging and Surface Restoration Bond is  a  legal  assurance  provided  by  two  parties  to  another  party.  The  two  parties  are  the  Principal  (contractor)  and  the  surety  bond  company  who  will  issue  the  bond.  The Department of Environmental Conservation of the State of New York is the party requiring the bond for the benefit of the Obligee. An Obligee can be any person or governmental agency within the State of New York.

The  Obligee  will  also  be  the  beneficiary  of  this  bond. No action will be taken against the bond as long as the Principal properly plugs the wells and restores the adjacent surface terrains. If  the Principal fails to do so, the  Obligee  will  file  a  bond  claim  to  recover  the  amount  necessary  to  complete  the  project or compensate the person who will be harmed by the Principal’s noncompliance. The Surety will pay the Obligee if the claim is valid. The Principal must reimburse the Surety for all payments paid after.
