Debris removal is one of FEMA PA’s most audit-sensitive recovery costs, where eligibility depends on public interest, legal responsibility, monitoring, and defensible documentation. This Govstar resource explains how Category A debris claims can avoid de-obligation from the start. Topics include eligible debris types, ROW rules, private and commercial property limits, hazardous trees/limbs/stumps, the 50% root-ball rule, waterway debris, PPDR, rights-of-entry, DOB controls, load tickets, tower logs, debris monitors, compaction reductions, TDSRs, recycling revenue, disposal costs, and insurance recovery.
