Underwriting Appetite and Typical Restrictions
NECC targets contractors with environmental exposures arising from construction, remediation, demolition, waste handling, and site work. Typical acceptable accounts include general contractors, specialty trade contractors (plumbing, roofing, paving), demolition and asbestos/lead abatement contractors, soil and groundwater remediation contractors, and restoration firms. Accounts with clearly documented controls, strong safety programs, and stable prior coverage histories are preferred.
Underwriting may decline or restrict accounts with: ongoing or poorly documented contamination, oil & gas drilling operations, large-scale industrial chemical manufacturing, or histories of repeated pollution incidents. Mold coverage is underwritten separately and is not available for all risks.

Example Accounts That Fit This Program
You have a remediation contractor performing soil excavation and groundwater treatment on multiple small to mid-size sites — consider an annual policy with prior acts if they have continuous claims-made coverage history.
A general contractor bidding on a single demolition and asbestos abatement project — a per-project (per job) policy with appropriate limits and a mold endorsement (if requested) can be placed.
* This is a brief outline only. Occurrence form CPL and/or CGL is not available for some exposures/risks. Mold coverage extension is not offered for all risks. Security and coverage availability will vary depending on exposure, risk factors & location. The minimum premium is the base for the smallest eligible risk. Taxes and Fees are in addition to premium. Prior Acts (retroactive) coverage requires proof of comparable continuous claims made coverage and is subject to underwriting approval. Some risks may be offered limited retroactive coverage or in some cases no retroactive coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of contractor accounts are a good fit for NECC’s Monoline Contractors Pollution Liability program?This program fits contractors with environmental exposures from construction, demolition, remediation, restoration, utility and site-work operations — for example, asbestos/lead abatement, excavation, soil remediation, demolition, plumbing, roofing, and general contracting. High-risk industrial manufacturing or oil & gas drilling are typically not a good fit.
Does NECC offer occurrence and claims-made forms, and can prior acts be added?Yes. The program offers both occurrence and claims-made forms. Prior acts (retroactive) coverage is available on a case-by-case basis and requires proof of comparable continuous claims-made coverage and underwriting approval.
Can I bind coverage on a per-job basis?Yes. NECC supports both annual policies and per-project (per-job) policies. Per-job placement is commonly used for single-site demolition, abatement or remediation contracts.
What are the minimum premium and deductible expectations?Deductibles start at $2,500. The minimum premium typically starts at $2,000 excluding mold; accounts including mold generally start around $4,000 and up. Final premiums depend on exposure, limits, form, and coverage extensions.
