The amount of the continuation charge may vary from year to year. Industry shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the date of notice from Railroad within which to either accept or decline payment of the continuation charge.

Industry; (iii) the presence of a Close clearance on Industry’s Segment; or (iv) the explosion, spillage and/or presence of Hazardous Materials on its properties, facility or on Industry’s Segment, but only when such Losses would not have occurred but for the dangerous nature of the Hazardous Materials.
