Decommissioning bonds / financial assurance for data centers

statewide

**NOT_FOUND.** Ohio's statutory decommissioning-bond requirement (ORC 4906.22) applies only to wind farms and solar facilities, not data centers or behind-the-meter gas plants. No decommissioning bond, surety, or removal-cost escrow was found in any Ohio data center approval reviewed.

Key data: ORC 4906.22 covers wind/solar only; no data center equivalent

Claim classification: Not yet assigned · Retrieved 2026-08-29

Limitation: Searched OPSB cases, Ohio Revised Code, and municipal ordinances for Pataskala, New Albany, Trenton, and Wilmington. Some cities are writing new data center zoning chapters (e.g., [Canton's new rules with a "sensitive receptor" concept](https://www.cantonrep.com/story/news/local/canton/2026/07/28/canton-ohio-passes-new-zoning-rules-for-data-centers/91006823007/)), but no end-of-life financial assurance was located.

Key data: Noise and heat identified as the dominant resident objections; no dBA standard cited

Claim classification: Not yet assigned · Retrieved 2026-08-29

Limitation: No quantified decibel limit or traffic study figure was reported for Pataskala.

Ohio EPA jurisdictional exclusion of noise and traffic

statewide

Ohio EPA's own public-hearing notices state that noise levels, traffic, setbacks to homes and schools, safety, and property values are outside its authority — so for behind-the-meter gas plants serving data centers, these impacts have no state-level review venue.

Key data: Noise, traffic, zoning/setbacks, safety, and property values all listed as outside Ohio EPA authority

Formal cumulative impact assessment

Licking County

**NOT_FOUND.** No agency has produced a cumulative air, water, or noise assessment covering the Licking County cluster. Licking County's attainment status means no nonattainment-driven cumulative review is triggered, and Ohio EPA reviews each behind-the-meter gas permit individually. Residents at the Apollo hearing specifically asked for cumulative consideration and local monitoring.
