<br />iii. After removal of the structures and roads the area, if disturbed during SFFP construction <br />and operation, shall be graded as close as is reasonable possible to its original contours or <br />contours advantageous for agricultural operations and the soils shall be restored to a <br />condition compatible with farm uses or consistent with other resource uses. Re- <br />vegetation shall include plant species suited to the area, or planting by landowner of <br />agricultural crops, as appropriate, and shall be consistent with noxious weed control <br />measures. <br /> <br />c. Proponents of any SPPF shall demonstrate decommission assurances to Kittitas County in the form <br />of a surety bond or escrow account to cover the cost of removal in the event the facility must be <br />removed by Kittitas County. The intent of this requirement is to guarantee performance (not just <br />provide financial insurance) to protect the public interest and the County budget from an <br />unanticipated, unwarranted burden to decommission a SPPF. The proponent shall submit a fully <br />inclusive estimate of the costs associated with removal prepared by a qualified Washington State <br />licensed engineer that is accepted by Kittitas County. The decommissioning funds shall be <br />equivalent to 125% of the engineer’s estimated cost for the purpose of guaranteeing completion <br />of the work. The decommissioning assurance shall be reevaluated every five (5) years to ensure <br />sufficient funds for decommissioning, and if deemed appropriate at that time, the amount of <br />decommissioning funds shall be adjusted accordingly. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
