When the useful life of the SEF has reached its end, power generation will cease, the facility will be decommissioned, and all components of the SEF will be removed from the property. Finally, the site will be returned to its current and/or former use as native vegetation or agricultural production. This Decommissioning Plan contains the current industry best practices and may change as these practices evolve and improve between now and the end of the useful life of the SEF. Decommissioning Process The SEF will consist of mostly recyclable materials, including semiconductor material, aluminum, glass, steel, copper, and plastic. At the time of decommissioning, these components will be dismantled from the SEF, separated by material, and sorted according to salvageable value and recyclability. Salvage value is expected to provide a significant portion of the funding for the decommissioning of the SEF. Improvements made to the land (including access roads, driveways, and plantings) during the construction and operation of the SEF will be reclaimed using industry best practices. Some may remain on the site per the wishes of the landowner. All improvements not reclaimed and returned to agricultural use will be approved by the Weld County Department of Planning Services. Decommissioning is planned to include the following steps: 1. The project owner will schedule a pre -closure meeting with the Weld County Department of Planning Services up to one year prior to the planned decommissioning of the SEF. Final details of the decommissioning will be discussed at this meeting and developed in coordination with the Department. 2. Any necessary permits will be acquired prior to the commencing of decommissioning. 3. Any agencies and other local departments necessary will be contacted and coordinated with. 4. The SEF will be disconnected from the electric grid in coordination with United Power. 5. Within 12 months of disconnection, the following decommissioning activities will take place: a. PV modules will be disconnected and removed for salvage or recycling. b. All electrical cabling (both above and below ground) shall be removed for salvage or recycling. c. Aluminum racking used to support PV modules will be removed for salvage or recycling. OneEnergy d. Steel foundation piles will be removed for salvage or recycling. These piles will either be moved in their entirety or will be cut off approximately 3' below grade, deep enough to allow the land to return to agricultural use. e. All electric interconnection equipment, including inverters and transformers, shall be removed for salvage or recycling. f. All concrete foundations shall be removed and properly disposed of. g. All fencing shall be removed and properly disposed of. h. All soils disturbed during the decommissioning process will be re -graded to meet existing contours and seeded with a native, dryland seed mix. Financial Assurance & Decommissioning/Reclamation Cost Estimates The capital investment represented by the solar facility will create significant value from the materials used to construct the solar facility. OneEnergy has posted an Irrevocable Letter of Credit in the amount of $300,000 as a financial assurance. The initial cost estimate (2023) is inclusive of the following: Fencing Structures $23,900 $79,920 $43,180 Modules Electrical $141,000 Site Restoration $12,000 Total $300,000 March 28, 2025 Clerk to the Board's Office Phone: (970) 400-4225 1150 O Street P.O.
