I would just add, there are a lot of variables depending on the asset - 
decommissioning a nuclear plant will have a lot more requirements than 
tearing down an old office building. I think one thing you'll want to keep 
in mind is that sites often have multiple assets that may be connected, 
where removing an asset of one kind facilitates it's replacement with 
another so that any "Life of" retention you may be following may require 
some interpretation. Also, while most of us are not trained archivists you 
still might want to give consideration to the preservation of certain 
artifacts, photographs, or other records that might have historic value. 
We recently retired a power plant that had a log book signed by Thomas 
Edison when he visited the site over 100 years ago.. The retention expired 
on that long ago, but we're still going to hang on to that one.
