c. Supporting Data. Supporting data should be developed, documented, and retained
for two years, which details fees and facilities for other Federal and non-Federal public
agencies, as well as private entities in the service areas, so that an accurate comparison
may be made. Where Corps facilities are of higher quality than similar competing state,
local, or private facilities, a higher fee should be charged commensurate with the higher
quality experience offered. It is recognized that the fee structure resulting from this
evaluation may not permit recovery of the total cost to operate and maintain the facilities
or the recreation area. The District Commander will consider the following in developing
an appropriate use fee structure:
(1) the construction cost of the facility;
(2) the cost of O&M at that facility;
(3) the comparability of this facility and its amenities to other facilities within a
reasonable distance (30-60 miles can be considered reasonable);
(4) the proximity of the facility to the water;
(5) paved vs. unpaved roads;
(6) availability of showers;
(7) level of security;
(8) degree of development;
(9) availability of amenities;
(10) availability of reservation services; and
(11) other factors, such as those described in Chapter 9, paragraph 9-3 of
ER 1130-2-550.
