York County April 2026 model ordinance specifies financial security of 110% of estimated decommissioning cost minus salvage, with municipal review reserved once every five years
110% of cost minus salvageobserved
| Value kind | observed — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range. |
|---|---|
| Scope | Model language from the York County Planning Commission; it binds only where a municipality adopts it. Security is 110% of the estimated decommissioning cost minus the salvageable value of the data center, posted before the certificate of occupancy. The wording does not say whether the 110% applies before or after salvage is subtracted, so read the adopted text. The municipality may review a new engineer's estimate once every five years and raise or lower the security. |
