Tier Allowances Clause Samples
The Tier Allowances clause establishes different levels or categories of entitlements, limits, or benefits based on predefined tiers. In practice, this means that parties may receive varying allowances—such as usage limits, service credits, or compensation—depending on which tier they fall into, often determined by factors like volume, duration, or performance. This clause ensures a structured and scalable approach to allocating resources or benefits, providing clarity and predictability for both parties while accommodating differing needs or contributions.
Tier Allowances. A. GROUND DISTURBING ACTIVITIES AND SITE MODIFICATION, when proposed activities described below substantially conform to the original footprint and/or are performed in previously disturbed soils, including the area where the activity is staged.
1. Debris and Snow Removal
a. Debris removal and collection, including removal of snow, uprooted trees, limbs and branches from public rights of way and public areas and areas as well as the transport and disposal of such waste to existing licensed waste facilities or landfills. This includes the temporary establishment and expansion of non- hazardous debris staging, reduction, and disposal areas at licensed transfer stations, or existing hard-topped or graveled surfaces (e.g. parking lots, roads, athletic courts) but not the creation of new or temporary access roads.
b. Removal of debris from private property provided that buildings are not affected, ground disturbance is minimal and in-ground elements, such as driveways, walkways or swimming pools are left in place.
c. Chipping and disposal of woody debris by broadcasting within existing rights-of- way.
d. Sediment removal from man-made drainage facilities, including retention/detention basins, ponds, ditches, and canals, in order to restore the facility to its pre-disaster condition. The sediment may be used to repair eroded banks or disposed of at an existing licensed or permitted spoil site.
e. Dewatering flooded developed areas by pumping.

This includes non-hazardous debris staging, reduction, and disposal areas at licensed transfer stations, or existing hard-topped or graveled surfaces (e.g. parking lots, roads, athletic courts) but not the creation of new or temporary access roads. This Allowance does not include the removal of standing trees.
b. Removal of debris from private property provided that buildings are not affected, heavy equipment is limited to existing rights-of-way, ground disturbance is minimal and in-ground elements, such as driveways, walkways or swimming pools, are left in place. This Allowance does not apply to removal of intact or partially standing structures or to the removal of partially buried modern materials. If heavy equipment will be used on the property, refer to the second tier of allowances for Debris and Snow Removal II.A.1.b.
c. Chipping and disposal of woody debris by broadcasting within existing rights-of- way.
d. Sediment removal from man-made drainage facilities, including retention/detention basins, ponds, ditches, and canals, in order to restore the facility to its pre-disaster condition. The sediment may be used to repair eroded banks or disposed of at an existing licensed or permitted spoil site.
