J. DECOMMISSIONING
1. Any Commercial Battery Energy Storage System (CBESS) that is not operated for a continuous period of six (6) months is considered to be abandoned. The owner of an abandoned CBESS will within twelve (12) months of receipt of notice from the Delaware County Building/Zoning Administrator remove the system or the part of the system which is abandoned. After removal, the owner will restore the site to its condition as it existed prior to the installation of the system. If the owner fails to remove the system and restore the site as required by this Article, the owner will be in violation of this Article, and the Building/Zoning Administrator may pursue all remedies for the violation. The owner will also provide for a Decommissioning Plan, and this plan must include written assurance that the system will be properly decommissioned upon the expiration of the system’s serviceable life or upon abandonment. The plan must also include cost estimates for decommissioning and removing the system. Such cost estimates must be made by a professional engineer with experience in decommissioning or removal of such systems. The cost estimates must be updated by a professional engineer annually and must be submitted to the Building/Zoning Administrator.
2. After submitting the cost estimates to the Building/Zoning Administrator, the Building/Zoning Administrator may accept the cost estimate provided or have a professional engineer engaged by the Building/Administrator provide a cost estimate. In the event that the cost estimates of the owner’s engineer and of the Administrator’s engineer are not the same, the DMMPC Plan Commission will determine the cost estimate which applies to the owner. The owner will provide to Delaware County with financial security, in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit, payable upon demand by Delaware County, in a form acceptable to the DMMPC Plan Commission, for the full cost of the estimated decommissioning, removal and restoration in an amount determined by the DMMPC Plan Commission and approved by the Delaware County Board of Commissioners. If the cost estimates change during annual reviews, the owner must provide revised irrevocable letters of credit which reflect the adjusted cost estimates. No deductions for salvage value or other credits are allowed from the estimated cost of decommissioning, removal, and restoration.
