Board seeks decommissioning plans and financial assurances for data centers
Summary
Supervisors recommended requiring decommissioning plans, financial assurances or performance bonds, applicant-funded third-party review, and clear e‑waste disposal plans to avoid industrial land reserved indefinitely.
Supervisor Mark Dotson recommended that data centers provide decommissioning plans and financial assurances similar to large-scale energy facilities, expressing concern about industrial land being reserved indefinitely for projects that do not proceed. Chairman Tommy Miller asked staff to address electronic waste and equipment disposal during operation and decommissioning.
Members supported applicant-funded third-party review of technical studies, inspections, and monitoring, and asked staff to examine the County’s fee structure and contracting procedures to ensure review costs are not borne by taxpayers.
