Luzerne County's zoning ordinance amendment (Amendment 1 of 2026) requires a Decommissioning Plan prepared by a qualified professional at the time of application for all proposed data centers, covering safe shutdown procedures, an equipment inventory, timelines, equipment removal, disposal and recycling, and future use or site restoration. Decommissioning must begin within one year of discontinuation or notice of abandonment and be completed within 18 months thereafter unless extended in writing. Cost estimates may not include equipment salvage value, hazardous materials including batteries, fuel and refrigerants must be disposed of per state and federal law, soils must be stabilized and revegetated, and utility connections must be disconnected and capped. The County may seek injunctive relief, reimbursement for costs exceeding the deposited amount, and a lien against the owner's real estate.
